Your Own
Private Cloud
Dedicated OpenStack infrastructure on Canadian hardware. Full IaaS — compute, storage, networking, and identity — all yours. No shared tenancy. No border crossings.
Every OpenStack Component, Fully Managed
We deploy, configure, and maintain the full OpenStack stack. You get direct API access and the Horizon dashboard — without the ops burden.
Spin up virtual machines on-demand. Choose from predefined flavors or request custom specs. KVM hypervisor with NVMe-backed storage.
S3-compatible object storage with 99.99% durability. Store backups, media, and static assets with a standard API.
Persistent NVMe block volumes attachable to any instance. Snapshots, clones, and hot-resize supported.
Software-defined networking with private networks, subnets, routers, floating IPs, and security groups.
Multi-tenant identity service. Manage projects, users, roles, and RBAC policies across your entire cloud.
Web-based management console. Provision instances, manage networks, and monitor resources in a clean UI.
Infrastructure as Code for OpenStack. Define entire stacks in YAML templates — repeatable, version-controlled deployments.
VM image management. Bring your own images or choose from our library: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Windows Server.
You Control the
Entire Stack
Unlike shared cloud hosting, your OpenStack private cloud is a dedicated tenant. You have your own Keystone domain, your own virtual networks, your own storage pools. Every resource is yours — not borrowed.
- Provision VMs in seconds via Horizon or API
- Create isolated networks with custom CIDR ranges
- Attach and detach NVMe volumes without downtime
- Deploy full stacks from Heat templates
- Integrate with Terraform, Ansible, or your CI/CD pipeline
- Monitor with built-in Ceilometer metrics

Who Uses OpenStack IaaS
Private cloud infrastructure is the right fit for organizations with specific security, compliance, or scale requirements.
SaaS Companies
Isolate customer data, guarantee noisy-neighbor-free performance, and meet enterprise customer security requirements with a private cloud.
Canadian Data Compliance
Healthcare, legal, and government organizations that must keep data on Canadian soil under PIPEDA, PHIPA, or provincial regulations.
Dev / Test Environments
Give every dev team their own isolated OpenStack project. Spin up full-stack environments in minutes, tear them down instantly.
Disaster Recovery
Use your OpenStack private cloud as a secondary site for DR. Replicate workloads from your primary environment at a moment's notice.
High-Security Workloads
Air-gapped networking, private BGP, custom security group policies, and zero shared tenancy for financial services and defence.
Internal Platform Teams
Build an internal developer platform (IDP) on OpenStack. Offer your teams self-service VM, storage, and networking provisioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
OpenStack is the world's leading open-source cloud infrastructure platform, powering private clouds at CERN, NASA, Bloomberg, and hundreds of Canadian enterprises. Unlike public cloud (AWS, Azure), OpenStack gives you dedicated hardware, predictable pricing, and full data sovereignty — your data never mixes with another tenant's workloads.
Dedicated. Your OpenStack deployment runs on hardware reserved exclusively for your organization. You are not sharing compute, storage, or networking resources with any other Netpedia customer. This is fundamentally different from our standard VPS or Cloud plans.
Yes. OpenStack has first-class support for Terraform (via the official OpenStack provider) and Ansible (via the openstack.cloud collection). You can also use the Heat orchestration service for OpenStack-native IaC with YAML templates.
Any Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, Fedora), Windows Server 2019/2022, and custom images you upload. You can also run BSD variants and import VM images from other cloud providers.
Yes. All Netpedia OpenStack infrastructure is located in our Toronto and Montreal data centres. Your data never leaves Canadian soil, making this the ideal choice for PIPEDA compliance, PHIPA (healthcare), and organizations with Canadian data residency requirements.
VPS and Cloud hosting are multi-tenant shared services — efficient and affordable for most workloads. OpenStack IaaS is dedicated infrastructure: you get bare-metal hardware, software-defined networking you fully control, your own Keystone identity domain, and the ability to create hundreds of VM instances within your allocation. It's building your own data centre inside ours.
