Cloud architecture practice, since 2016

Private clouds that hold up in production

I help public bodies and industrial companies design, run and evolve their OpenStack and Ceph platforms, free from vendor lock-in.

Three activities, one standard

Architecture studies, deployment, operations and level-3 support for OpenStack and Ceph platforms in production.

OpenStack and Ceph courses built from field experience, by the author of the French reference book.

A sovereign, modular IaaS cloud for Madagascar, housed in a 20-foot container datacenter.

This is the kind of private cloud I design, deploy and run: redundant at every layer, free of proprietary licences, sized to grow.
