vCirrus designs and builds elastic cloud computing and storage environments. This includes public clouds (consumer facing, automated, massively scalable), private clouds (secure, enterprise, semi-automatic, scalable within budgets) or hybrid clouds (private cloud that bursts out to the public cloud). Cloud technologies use virtualisation, automation and orchestration to allow their customers to pay (OpEx) only for services they consume and scale-out rapidly without heavy CapEx or large IT departments. vCirrus provides a turn-key solution including hardware (servers, networking, storage, security), software (hypervisor, management, monitoring, security, billing), white-labelling and hosting. All vCirrus customers have the opportunity to participate in a federated exchange of clouds ("intercloud") and application marketplace.
