For service providers
Offer dedicated OpenStack and Ceph clouds on infrastructure you control, with a defined service catalog and an operational model agreed with WECORE.
Dedicated Cloud
Build dedicated cloud services on your infrastructure.
WECORE Cloud designs, deploys, and operates OpenStack and Ceph clouds for datacenters and cloud providers that want to offer dedicated infrastructure on capacity they control.
OpenStack + Ceph
Designed for your infrastructure
Tenant isolation
Managed operations
Dedicated Cloud is delivered as a scoped engagement for service providers on infrastructure they control.
Dedicated Cloud is built for service providers
Commission the platform to turn your bare-metal, storage, and network capacity into dedicated cloud services for your customers.
What your users can do
Your customers receive an isolated cloud environment where their teams can create virtual machines, networks, volumes, images, and project access.
What your infrastructure team gets
A documented architecture, hardware and network requirements, tenant isolation, capacity controls, monitoring, upgrades, and an escalation path.
How WECORE deploys and operates it
We assess your infrastructure, design and deploy the OpenStack and Ceph stack, validate the service with your team, and provide the agreed ongoing operations.

Talk to our team →What Dedicated Cloud gives a service provider
The control of on-premise infrastructure, delivered as a managed service
No proprietary license stack
OpenStack and Ceph provide the infrastructure layer without a proprietary per-VM licensing model.
You keep administrative control
Your infrastructure team retains the administrative access and ownership agreed for the deployment, while WECORE coordinates platform operations and upgrades.
Provider service model
Offer dedicated cloud environments under your service catalog, policies, and customer relationship, with tenant isolation built into the architecture.
Pricing tailored to the deployment
The proposal reflects the agreed architecture, capacity, integrations, and operational scope for the deployment.
Validated delivery
We assess, design, deploy, validate, and hand over the service with your team against the agreed architecture and acceptance criteria.
Managed platform upgrades
We monitor platform health, coordinate upgrades, and work incidents according to the responsibility boundary agreed with your team.

FAQ
Dedicated Cloud questions, answered
What service providers commission, what customers receive, and how responsibilities are divided
Dedicated Cloud is an engagement to design, deploy, and operate an OpenStack and Ceph cloud on infrastructure the service provider controls. The exact topology, integrations, access model, and operational scope are defined with the provider before deployment.
It is a service for datacenters and cloud providers that want to offer dedicated cloud services. Organizations may consume the resulting cloud, but the service provider commissions and operates the customer relationship.
Customers receive an isolated cloud environment with agreed controls for virtual machines, networks, volumes, images, projects, and access. The provider defines the service catalog and customer policies.
The engagement defines administrative access, architecture documentation, runbooks, monitoring, escalation, and a responsibility matrix. Your team retains infrastructure ownership and the access required for its agreed responsibilities.
Pricing is tailored to each deployment and reflects the architecture, capacity, integrations, support level, and operational responsibility agreed with the provider.
We validate the agreed identity, image, compute, networking, storage, access, and tenant-control paths with your team before handover. The acceptance criteria are defined in the engagement.
WECORE designs, deploys, validates, and operates the agreed software platform. The provider owns or leases the hardware and network, defines the service catalog, and owns the customer relationship. The exact responsibility matrix is part of the engagement.
Ceph can provide replicated software-defined storage for block volumes, images, and shared filesystems. The interfaces, topology, and replication policy are selected for the agreed architecture and validated before handover.
