Cloud & As-a-Service · AltaSphere
Altanora's managed cloud platform: hosted VMware, private and multi-tenant cloud, dedicated bare metal and hosted XenServer, with licensing, infrastructure and 24/7 support included.
AltaSphere is Altanora's fully managed cloud platform. It runs your workloads on VMware Cloud Foundation, dedicated bare metal or Citrix XenServer in sovereign data centres, with licensing, infrastructure, monitoring and 24/7 support in one monthly price. It's built for organizations leaving costly VMware renewals, aging hardware or hyperscaler bills behind, without giving up control of where their data lives.
AltaSphere is hosted on infrastructure independently audited to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, with data centres in Canada, the United States, the UK and Australia. Data, backups and DR copies can stay in-country.
Savings vary by environment. Availability excludes planned maintenance.

|---|---|---|
| Multi-tenant cloud | Variable workloads, SQL and back-end servers, fast starts | Pay for vCPU, RAM and storage you use |
| Private cloud | Regulated or steady workloads that need dedicated clusters | Fixed price per node (3-node minimum) |
| Bare metal | Legacy, licensed or performance-sensitive workloads | Per server, plus storage |
| Hosted XenServer | Citrix VDI and GPU desktops | Per host, plus storage |
No egress fees and no three-year prepay. Bring your own licences or have them included.
