Confidential · Not for distribution
Founded
Stockholm, Sweden
Focus
OpenShift-native
Key Partnership
Advanced Business Partner
Live Reference
Production since Oct 2024
Primary product: Cloud Orchestrator (SCO) — the commercial layer above Red Hat OpenShift
The Problem We Solve
Every organisation running OpenShift that wants to sell cloud services, share infrastructure across teams, or build an internal cloud needs a commercial layer that doesn't exist off the shelf. That's the gap Cloud Orchestrator fills.
Six capabilities, all included. No integration projects between them.
White-labelled, your brand
New offerings same day
KCP virtual control planes
Per-tenant, per-resource
Feeds existing invoicing
Contract → live in minutes
Subscription model. Partner-delivered. 90 days to production.
Architecture review, integration scope, service catalog design, pricing model
Cloud Orchestrator live, portal branded, first tenants onboarded, metering active
New services added same day, new segments onboarded, capacity expanded
Each is a distinct buyer category. Each has an active pipeline. Each uses the same platform.
5G infra → B2B cloud revenue
Cross-agency shared platform
Internal hyperscaler for banks
500+ sites, one control plane
GPU monetisation as a service
Specialist cloud from scratch
Technical Differentiation
Virtual control planes per tenant — not shared-cluster namespace separation. The only production-grade approach enterprise buyers accept.
Consistently delivered across telco, government, and financial deployments. No multi-year implementation programmes.
Portal, catalog, tenancy, metering, billing, and onboarding — integrated, not assembled from separate tools.
Stakater Cloud is our own production cloud — the reference implementation of everything Cloud Orchestrator delivers.
✓ Live in production since October 2024
✓ Multi-tenant, self-service, metered
✓ White-labelled under Stakater brand
✓ Billing integrated, customers paying
📡 Telecom operator — B2B cloud live
🏛️ Government — multi-agency platform
🏦 Financial institution — internal hyperscaler
Named references available on request
Three investment themes. Each extends the addressable market.
GPU quota management, MIG partitioning, model governance workflow, and per-team AI environment self-service — built in, not bolted on.
Single Cloud Orchestrator control plane managing workloads across multiple OpenShift clusters in different regions or clouds — one portal, one billing view.
Third-party software published to the Cloud Orchestrator service catalog. ISVs reach cloud operator customers without building their own marketplace integration.
