OpenStack Cloud for flexible and scalable infrastructure
Open cloud architecture for more control over resources, workloads, and infrastructure
OpenStack is an open-source platform for cloud computing that allows companies to build and manage private, public, or hybrid cloud environments. The platform combines computing power, networks, and storage in a modular architecture, creating a flexible foundation for modern IT environments.
With OpenStack, infrastructure resources can be deployed specifically, adapted to new requirements, and operated independently of proprietary vendor models. This creates more flexibility in cloud strategy and more control over systems, data, and workloads.
Services for the setup, operation, and scaling of OpenStack Cloud
OpenStack offers companies a modular cloud platform with which infrastructure can be specifically built, expanded, and operated. The individual services for compute, networking, storage, and identity interlock to create a technical basis that can be flexibly adapted to your requirements.
Network management and cloud networking
Virtual networks, routing, and security structures can be flexibly configured in OpenStack. This results in cloud environments that integrate seamlessly into existing IT structures and processes.
Provisioning of virtual infrastructure
With OpenStack, virtual machines, networks, and storage resources can be flexibly deployed and managed. If the focus is on usage-based infrastructure resources, IaaS can also be a sensible next step.
Cloud storage and data management
OpenStack supports various storage solutions for block storage and object storage. This allows data to be provided, managed, and scaled in a structured manner depending on the application.
Scaling and resource management
Resources can be dynamically expanded or reduced to respond to changing requirements. Especially for containerized workloads, Managed Kubernetes can be a useful addition.
Operation and technical support
Stable operation requires monitoring, maintenance, and continuous technical guidance. For ongoing operations and rapid day-to-day support, structured IT support can effectively complement the infrastructure.
Setup of OpenStack cloud environments
We support the planning and setup of OpenStack platforms for private, public, or hybrid cloud environments. Infrastructure, networks, and storage resources are aligned with the requirements of your IT environment.
Technology partner for OpenStack cloud infrastructure

For OpenStack cloud solutions, ECHO Datacenter works with partners who bring experience in building and operating scalable cloud infrastructures. This results in platforms that combine technical openness with resilient operating models and can be adapted to individual requirements.
Advantages of OpenStack Cloud Computing
Cloud infrastructure is created through structure and collaboration
OpenStack Cloud Computing is part of a coordinated infrastructure platform within the ECHO network. Technological competence, standardized service modules, and clear processes result in a flexible and scalable cloud environment.
High flexibility for infrastructure resources
Computing power, storage, and networks can be provided as needed and adapted to changing requirements.
Open platform without vendor lock-in
OpenStack is based on open standards and enables a cloud infrastructure that can be designed independently of proprietary platforms.
Scalable architecture for growing workloads
Resources can be dynamically expanded so that applications and services remain high-performing even as requirements increase.
Support for hybrid cloud models
OpenStack can be used for both private cloud environments and hybrid cloud strategies, thereby supporting different operating models.
More control over systems and data
Companies retain sovereignty over their infrastructure and can build, control, and further develop cloud resources specifically according to their requirements.
Frequently asked questions about OpenStack Cloud
Here you will find answers to key questions regarding OpenStack and the use of open cloud infrastructures.
What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is an open-source platform for cloud computing that enables companies to build and manage their own cloud infrastructures.
Which cloud models does OpenStack support?
OpenStack can be used for private clouds, public clouds and hybrid cloud environments.
Which resources can be provisioned with OpenStack?
With OpenStack, virtual machines, networks, storage resources and other infrastructure services can be provisioned and managed.
Why do companies choose OpenStack?
Many companies rely on OpenStack because the platform is open, flexible and can be operated independently of individual vendors.
Is OpenStack also suitable for larger infrastructures?
Yes. OpenStack is used worldwide in large and complex cloud environments and is designed for scalable infrastructure.
How do you begin implementing an OpenStack environment?
The process starts with an analysis of the existing infrastructure, the desired cloud strategy and the technical requirements. Based on this, a suitable architecture is developed.
Why does OpenStack support a flexible cloud strategy?
OpenStack provides the foundation for cloud environments that can be built independently of individual vendors. This gives organizations greater freedom in the architecture, scaling and further development of their infrastructure. At the same time, the platform enables the integration of different technologies and forms a stable basis for cloud models that can be planned long term and expanded flexibly.
