AI infrastructure, built on what you already own
OpenKube helps regional and enterprise datacenters become AI infrastructure providers. Build and operate multi-tenant, Kubernetes-based private clouds on existing compute, storage and networks—with NVIDIA GPUs added where workloads need them.
Existing datacenters. AI-ready capacity. One Kubernetes control plane.
OpenKube transforms traditional datacenters into AI-ready infrastructure providers without costly greenfield builds. Its hub-and-spoke platform turns existing compute, storage and networking into a Kubernetes-based private cloud. Integrate KubeVirt with NVIDIA GPU Operators to onboard virtualized AI and ML workloads, orchestrate GPU capacity across tenants, and keep data and operations in the partner datacenter.
Control plane Datacenter Cluster
Operate partner datacenters through one control plane, API and catalog. Add capacity across locations without building a new cloud from scratch.
Make GPU capacity available to isolated tenants and workloads, with Kubernetes-based placement and consistent policy across sites.
SSO, OIDC and LDAP or Active Directory for operators and tenants, with role-based access down to the individual cluster.
Integrate NVIDIA GPUs into the Kubernetes stack so datacenters can offer AI and ML capacity with familiar cloud-like operations.
Support virtualized AI workloads alongside Kubernetes-native jobs, using KubeVirt and the infrastructure already in the datacenter.
Use existing servers, SAN, NAS or software-defined storage, networks and facilities. Augment with NVIDIA GPUs instead of replacing the datacenter.
Works with existing VLANs, IPAM, load balancers and firewalls. No overlay-only assumptions and no redesign of the fabric.
Give AI and ML teams isolated environments and Kubernetes operations on capacity that stays inside the datacenter.
Manage sites and tenant workloads through a consistent platform, while workloads and data stay local to the facility.
Metrics, logs and health for the fleet and for each cluster, visible to the operator and, scoped down, to the tenant.
OpenKube helps datacenter operators turn existing facilities into AI infrastructure businesses—and gives AI and Kubernetes partners a consistent way to reach them.
You already have the facility, power, compute, storage and network. OpenKube helps you become an AI infrastructure provider by adding NVIDIA GPU capacity and operating it with Kubernetes, KubeVirt and NVIDIA GPU Operators—without a costly greenfield build or wholesale infrastructure redesign.
Three to five existing servers are enough to start. The spoke registers to the hub over an outbound TLS connection, so nothing new is exposed to the internet and no inbound firewall rules are needed.
Keep your existing storage, VLANs, IPAM, hypervisor, bare metal and identity systems. Add NVIDIA GPUs to selected servers; OpenKube integrates the Kubernetes and virtualization stack with the infrastructure you already operate.
Map compute, storage and GPU capacity to your service catalog. Define Kubernetes versions, AI workload options, add-ons, customer quotas and commercial terms.
Your brand, your contract, your invoice. Offer multi-tenant GPU capacity and virtualized AI workloads through Kubernetes, with OpenKube coordinating site operations and usage data.
A managed platform service carries a materially better margin than colocation or raw bare metal on the same footprint.
Offer GPU-enabled AI and ML infrastructure to customers seeking local, private and regional capacity.
Put existing compute, storage and networks to work; augment selected capacity with NVIDIA GPUs instead of starting over.
Make GPU-backed environments available to multiple customers through Kubernetes orchestration and tenant isolation.
Workloads, data and control stay inside your building and your jurisdiction. That is increasingly the whole reason a customer picks you.
The hard parts — lifecycle, upgrades, multi-tenancy, isolation — are the product, not your roadmap.
Offer cloud-like Kubernetes operations across partner datacenters without tying the service to a single facility.
Bring AI and Kubernetes solutions to private datacenters with a consistent platform underneath. OpenKube connects your workloads to partner infrastructure and GPU capacity while keeping operations close to the data.
The same call provisions a cluster in any partner datacenter. No per-site runbook, no bespoke installer.
Use NVIDIA GPU Operators and Kubernetes to make accelerator-backed capacity available to workloads.
Ingress, storage classes, certificates and monitoring are present and consistent, so your prerequisites are met before you arrive.
Spin up a short-lived cluster for a proof of concept, then throw it away. Evaluations stop waiting on procurement.
Co-sell into customers who need AI capacity close to their data, using partner datacenters instead of requiring a public-cloud move.
Pin the Kubernetes version per cluster, so you can certify your product against exactly what customers will run.
