Platform · OpenStack-powered

An open control plane for serious infrastructure.

Pulsioncloud’s platform is OpenStack — production-hardened, fully integrated, and operated by certified engineers. The same APIs trusted by telcos, governments, and CERN, delivered with the operational polish your team expects.

A reference architecture, productized.

Every Pulsioncloud deployment uses the same hardened OpenStack reference architecture — sized for your workloads, but never bespoke at the cost of stability.

The properties enterprises actually need.

Open standards aren’t ideology — they’re operational insurance. Here’s what your team gets from running the same stack hyperscalers, telcos, and research clouds run.

Sovereign & portable

Workloads run on infrastructure your regulator and security team can audit. Same OpenStack APIs as a dozen public clouds — leave anytime, take everything with you.

  • Data residency by design
  • Standard formats (qcow2, OVA, OCI)
  • No proprietary control plane

Performance at scale

Engineered for thousands of nodes per region with deterministic latency. SR-IOV, DPDK, GPU passthrough, and NUMA-aware scheduling — when your workload demands every microsecond.

  • SR-IOV / DPDK acceleration
  • GPU & vGPU passthrough
  • NUMA & CPU pinning

Hardened & compliant

CIS-aligned baselines, signed images, encrypted-at-rest storage, and immutable audit trails — out of the box. We treat compliance as a build artifact, not a quarterly scramble.

  • ISO 27001 & SOC 2 alignment
  • FIPS 140-2 cryptography
  • Continuous compliance scanning

Multi-region & edge ready

Federated identity, asynchronous replication, and lightweight edge profiles let you span datacenters and edge sites with one consistent control model.

  • Federated Keystone
  • Cross-site Cinder replication
  • StarlingX edge profile

Sized to your reality.

From a single sovereign datacenter to a distributed edge fleet — the same control plane, deployed in three reference shapes.

Single-region private cloud

Sovereign OpenStack in one datacenter. Ideal for regulated workloads with data-residency requirements.

Scale: 50 — 2,000 nodesDeploy: 4 — 6 weeksHA: Multi-AZ within site

Multi-region · DR ready

Two or more regions with federated identity, async replication, and tested failover runbooks.

Scale: 200 — 10,000 nodesDeploy: 6 — 10 weeksRPO/RTO: Custom, < 1h typical

Hybrid · core + edge

Central cloud plus dozens to thousands of lightweight edge sites. Lifecycle-managed centrally.

Scale: 1 core + 10–10,000 edgesDeploy: Phased rolloutEdge profile: StarlingX-based
