CLOUD CONTROL. FIXED BUDGET.

Give every workload room—without metered surprises.

Create and manage multiple virtual machines from a fixed resource allocation. There is no hourly resource rating and no automatic overage billing; add capacity deliberately through the billing platform.

Fixed allocation

Use your allocation across one or multiple VMs. No hourly or automatic overage billing.

YOUR VIRTUAL DATA CENTER

One resource pool. An entire environment.

Sharktech turns OpenStack into a virtual data center you can actually navigate. Allocate compute, memory and tiered storage across one VM or many, then connect them with networks, routers, floating IPs, firewalls and load balancers.

Use it as an offsite home lab, a development platform, a production environment or the foundation for mission-critical enterprise applications.

OPENSTACK, WITHOUT THE OPERATING BURDEN

Open infrastructure. Simplified experience.

Use the familiar ideas and automation surface of OpenStack while Sharktech operates the underlying cloud infrastructure. Start in the web interface and move into API automation whenever the workload calls for it.

COMPUTE

VMs without rigid shapes

Create Linux or Windows machines and choose the resources each workload receives.

STORAGE

NVMe, SSD & HDD tiers

Match performance and capacity to the role of each volume.

NETWORK

Your own topology

Build private networks, routers, security groups, floating IPs and load-balanced services.

IMAGES

Bring the system you need

Use available images or upload compatible VM images and ISOs through the portal or API.

SECURE ACCESS

API access by approved IP

Source-IP restrictions for API access are included as standard, adding a clear boundary around automation endpoints.

AUTOMATION

OpenStack APIs

Automate compute, networking, storage and identity with REST APIs and compatible tooling.

SMALL ENOUGH TO EXPERIMENT. SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR PRODUCTION.

Build the environment the workload needs today.

01

Offsite home lab

Learn, test operating systems, build networks and keep experiments away from local hardware.

02

Development & staging

Create isolated application environments, test releases and reproduce production architecture.

03

Business applications

Run websites, databases, internal systems, SaaS products and customer-facing services.

04

Enterprise architecture

Design multi-tier services with separate networks, security controls, storage tiers and load balancing.

PREDICTABLE BY DESIGN

Choose the pool. Keep the bill fixed.

Order a fixed allocation of CPU, memory, storage, transfer and addresses. Use that pool across any combination of virtual machines. The monthly price remains fixed until you deliberately upgrade the allocation.

ONE POOL, MANY POSSIBILITIES

The same fixed allocation and monthly price. Increase the pool through the billing platform when you need more.

THE POWER IS THERE. THE CLUTTER ISN’T.

A control plane designed for people who need to get work done.

Create machines, attach storage, design networks, control access and inspect usage from a direct interface. The underlying OpenStack capabilities remain available without forcing every customer through OpenStack’s raw operational complexity.

  • Launch and manage VMs from one place
  • Open consoles and inspect utilization
  • Upload and download compatible images

AUTOMATE WHEN YOU ARE READY

The interface is optional. The API is not an afterthought.

Build through the portal, OpenStack-compatible libraries or direct REST calls. The platform exposes cloud services for compute, networking, block and object storage, images and identity—so the same environment can support a first VM today and an automated delivery pipeline later.

  • Secure API access by approved source IP as standard
  • Infrastructure provisioning
  • Network and security automation
  • Image and volume workflows
  • Project and identity management

PLACE THE CLOUD WHERE IT MAKES SENSE

Choose Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago or Amsterdam when ordering the resource pool.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Know exactly what you are buying.

Is Dedicated Cloud the same as Private Cloud?

No. Dedicated Cloud gives you a fixed resource allocation on the Sharktech cloud platform. Private Cloud is custom, exclusive physical infrastructure built specifically for one organization.

Do VM sizes change the price?

No. The bill is based on the fixed resource allocation you order, not on named virtual-machine shapes. Divide the available CPU, memory and storage among one VM or many.

Can I exceed the allocation automatically?

No. Dedicated Cloud does not apply hourly overage charges. Increase the allocation through the billing platform when more capacity is required.

How is API access secured?

Secure API access by approved source IP is included as standard. You can use the OpenStack-powered environment through the simplified portal or automate it through compatible APIs and tools.

REAL PEOPLE BEHIND THE INFRASTRUCTURE

Let’s make Dedicated Cloud fit the work.

Choose Dedicated Cloud when predictable capacity and predictable spend belong together. Choose Public Cloud when variable demand makes metered expansion more useful.
