Today, Virtuozzo, the leader in alternative cloud platforms, announced the release of Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud, a new cloud platform for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that revolutionizes the margin and cost equation.



Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud allows MSPs to sell compute cloud services at a 20% margin, compared to the typical 3-7% offered by major public clouds like AWS, Google, and Azure. Additionally, it offers open-source-based hyperconverged cloud technology, enabling MSPs to reduce costs for their customers by up to 25%.

The platform consolidates all essential cloud services into a single, user-friendly web interface for MSPs. This includes virtualization, infrastructure as a service, S3-compatible storage as a service, platform as a service, Kubernetes as a service, and backup as a service. Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud is designed specifically for the channel, with hosting provided by Virtuozzo and its network of Cloud Service Provider partners. It is available now in locations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Joe Morgan, VP of Cloud at Virtuozzo, stated, "No-one needs today's exorbitant public cloud prices or the complexity of building their own cloud service. Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud was created to address these challenges, offering one cloud solution tailored for MSPs, encompassing all core cloud services, presented through an easy-to-use interface, and priced to be economically viable in today's market."

Leading the implementation of Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud technology in North America and the UK is Climb Channel Solutions, an international technology distributor. Gary Morris, Chief Technologist at Climb Channel Solutions UK, remarked, "Virtuozzo is revolutionizing the cloud landscape for the channel, providing more options and eliminating lock-in by offering a flexible and agile cloud delivery platform that aligns with customers' needs, all at an affordable price point that is beneficial for both the customer and provider."

It also offers highly tuned OpenStack virtualization, high-performance S3 compatible storage, and auto-scaling/clustering application containers. The pricing options are flexible, with pay-as-you-go and commitment tiers available to further reduce costs and increase margins. The platform includes a self-service portal for MSPs and their end customers if desired. Additionally, it provides certified cloud infrastructure managed by Virtuozzo partners, 24/7 support, and 99.9% service level agreements (SLAs).
