The Offering

Professional services for your sovereign cloud journey with Kavuno.

Our experienced team supports you throughout the entire lifecycle of your Kavuno platform, from initial planning and installation to day-to-day operations and training.

Every organization has different requirements, shaped by its sector, location and level of expertise. With Kavuno, you choose the level of support that works for you and take complete control whenever you’re ready.

Kavuno on your hardware

Consulting: Our experts support you with infrastructure sizing, compatibility assessments, architecture decisions, integration with existing environments and hardware selection. From the first evaluation to the final design, we help you build a solid foundation for your sovereign cloud.

Installation: We can support your team throughout the installation or take care of the entire deployment for you, wherever you are. Our experts configure and validate your Kavuno platform and hand it over ready for use.

Operations: Depending on your resources and operational model, you may want to manage the platform yourself, receive expert support when needed or delegate the operation of your cloud platform entirely. Our team can operate your platform on your behalf or support your operations team with a range of flexible support options.

Training: sovereignty means having the knowledge and capabilities to manage your own infrastructure. We therefore provide practical training for your IT teams, helping them develop the skills required to operate, maintain and manage their Kavuno environment independently.

Kavuno as a cloud service

Prefer to rely on fully managed cloud services? We offer a hosted deployment option that lets you benefit from Kavuno without having to own or manage the underlying hardware.

Hosted securely in Europe and available worldwide, this option gives you the full benefits of Kauno as a managed service — operated and supported by our experienced team.

Kavuno provides a sovereign, production-ready cloud platform based on Kubernetes and OpenStack.

The Use Cases

For organizations around the world that seek control over their infrastructure.

Kavuno enables organizations to build and operate their own sovereign cloud environments – from government and public-sector infrastructure in different continents to enterprise applications and services delivered in markets around the world.

Governments worldwide are increasingly expected to keep critical infrastructure and sensitive citizen data under their own control. At the same time, public-sector applications need to remain available, scalable and reliable, without becoming dependent on external cloud providers or proprietary technologies.

Kavuno provides a sovereign cloud foundation for running critical government applications. With a production-ready, secure Kubernetes environment running on a highly automated OpenStack infrastructure, public-sector organizations can build and operate a reliable cloud under their own control, maintaining transparency, auditability and data sovereignty.

Use Kavuno to run essential public services on infrastructure you can trust and control.

Modern research increasingly depends on large-scale computing and data-intensive models. Research institutions all over the world need the flexibility to provide researchers with computing resources on demand, while ensuring that sensitive research data and intellectual property remain under institutional control.

Kavuno provides a flexible cloud platform for running container-based and data-intensive research workloads. Self-service capabilities make it easy for researchers and teams to access the resources they need, while automated OpenStack operations reduce the burden on IT teams.

Focus on research, not on managing the infrastructure behind it.

Enterprises across international markets need reliable cloud infrastructure without giving up control over their applications and data. Whether you are looking to modernize your internal IT environment, reduce dependency on external cloud providers or build and deliver digital services for your own customers, operating a cloud platform can be complex and resource-intensive.

Kavuno provides a production-ready cloud platform that puts the infrastructure in your hands. Automated OpenStack operations reduce administrative effort, while the Kubernetes PaaS makes it easier to develop and deliver cloud-native containerized applications.

With open source technologies at its core, Kavuno enables you to build your on-premises infrastructure maintaining transparency, flexibility and freedom from proprietary solutions.
