Private Cloud

Enterprise virtualization with Enterprise features and support.

ComputerVault is OST's private cloud platform, built on the open-source Proxmox hypervisor, wrapped in an Enterprise Controller and support and hosted on our infrastructure at Flexential in Salt Lake City — or deployed on hardware in your own building. Familiar virtualization economics, minus the licensing shock.
Is Private Cloud right for my business?

Why Private Cloud?

The right-sized answer for environments under 20 VMs

Hyperscale cloud is a phenomenal answer for many workloads — we're an AWS Partner, and we say that with a straight face. But for smaller virtualized environments, a hosted private cloud is often simpler, more predictable, and more economical:

  • Predictable monthly cost.** Flat, contract-based pricing. No per-GB egress surprises, no consumption spikes to explain to your CFO.

  • Your data, one hour away.** Hosted at Flexential's Salt Lake City data center. When you want to see where your servers live, we'll give you the tour.

  • A smaller target. The hyperscale platforms are the most attacked infrastructure on the planet. A private environment with a minimal public footprint presents a fundamentally smaller attack surface.

  • No licensing hostage situation.** Proxmox is open-source. Nobody can acquire it and triple your renewal — a lesson the industry just learned the hard way.

  • The same OST wrapper.** Monitoring, backup, helpdesk, and management from the same team, whether your workloads live in ComputerVault, AWS, or your server closet. 
Two Ways to Run It

Fully Hosted or On-Premise

01

Fully Hosted

Your VMs run on OST-owned infrastructure at Flexential Salt Lake City with off-site data backup at the ComputerVault site in Boston. We handle hardware lifecycle, hypervisor patching, backup, and monitoring. You get remote access and a predictable monthly invoice. Both virtual servers and desktops delivered with optional secondary hot-site for full business continuity- HA/DR

02

On-Premise

We design, deploy, and manage a Proxmox-based environment (ComputerVault Enterprise Controller and support optional) on hardware in your facility — the answer when data residency, latency, or regulatory needs keep workloads in the building.

The VMware Question

Coming From VMware?

You are in good company. Broadcom's licensing changes have pushed thousands of businesses to re-evaluate. Our honest guidance: environments of roughly 20+ VMs should evaluate AWS with Migration Acceleration Program funding *(see our AWS practice)*; smaller environments usually land better economics on ComputerVault. We offer both, which is exactly why you can trust the recommendation.
