# ZSoftly Private Cloud

ZSoftly Private Cloud is a fully managed cloud infrastructure platform deployed on dedicated hardware, either at your facility or in a ZSoftly-operated data center.

## What it is

A complete, production-grade cloud stack built on open-source infrastructure. After extensive research and development, ZSoftly fully supports both Apache CloudStack and OpenStack as the orchestration layer, and can deliver either one as a branded self-service portal for your users or as direct API and hypervisor access. Either way you get the real platform, not a thin portal abstraction over someone else’s cloud.

## Two deployment models

On your infrastructure ZSoftly designs, deploys, and hands over a private cloud on hardware you own or operate. Useful for regulated industries, data sovereignty requirements, or organizations with existing data center investments.

ZSoftly-hosted dedicated ZSoftly deploys your private cloud in our facilities on dedicated hardware. You get the isolation and control of a private cloud without managing physical infrastructure.

In both cases you receive direct access to the orchestration layer (Apache CloudStack or OpenStack), an optional branded self-service portal with full single sign-on and social login (Keycloak or Authentik, integrating Google, GitHub, and other OIDC or SAML providers), and ongoing ZSoftly support.

## Who it’s for

- Enterprises with data residency or sovereignty requirements
- Organizations in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government)
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs) building on a private cloud foundation
- Businesses that need dedicated, predictable infrastructure
