What Virtuozzo does
Virtuozzo is a privately held cloud infrastructure software company, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, with 501-1000 employees. It develops a hyperconverged infrastructure platform built on OpenStack and KVM that combines compute, storage, networking, and orchestration into a single multi-tenant software stack marketed under sub-brands V/IS, V/Storage, V/Server, V/AM (Application Management), and V/Cloud. The platform supports traditional virtualization, cloud-native workloads, Kubernetes, database-as-a-service, and most recently GPU and AI workloads, with claims of 60-80% lower total cost of ownership versus traditional hosting and storage performance up to 7x faster random writes and 3.9x faster reads than Ceph.
The company serves cloud service providers, managed service providers, hosting providers, telcos, and enterprises seeking alternatives to VMware and hyperscalers, with named customers spanning the US, Canada, EMEA, APAC, Oceania, Latin America, and Africa. Revenue is generated through software licensing to service providers that operate the platform under their own brand, a fully managed V/Cloud offering, and professional services for migration and implementation. Distribution is channel-first, combining exclusive regional distributors (Opti9 in North America, V-Valley in Spain, First Distribution in Africa), a global network of IaaS and PaaS reseller partners, and technology partnerships with Veeam, Acronis, Pure Storage, and Virtual Cable.
Virtuozzo expanded its portfolio through the acquisitions of OnApp (July 2021) and Jelastic (October 2021), and in 2026 launched the V/IS AI Infrastructure System targeting GPU-as-a-Service and AI-as-a-Service, alongside the Acronis Cyber Frame co-developed HCI platform. The company is positioned to capture demand from service providers affected by rising VMware licensing costs following Broadcom's acquisition, while layering AI infrastructure monetization on top of its existing CSP and MSP base.

Virtuozzo competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Nutanix: Nutanix is a leading hyperconverged infrastructure provider offering compute, storage, and virtualization as an integrated platform. Directly comparable to Virtuozzo's V/IS as both target service providers and enterprises seeking HCI alternatives to traditional virtualization stacks.
- Red Hat OpenStack Platform: Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides enterprise-grade OpenStack-based cloud infrastructure comparable to Virtuozzo's V/IS. Both serve CSPs and enterprises seeking OpenStack-based cloud foundations, though Red Hat targets larger enterprises with deeper support tiers.
- Mirantis: Mirantis is an OpenStack and Kubernetes platform provider targeting service providers and enterprises. Closely comparable to Virtuozzo in technology stack and customer base, with similar focus on cloud-native infrastructure for telcos and CSPs.
- Scale Computing: Scale Computing provides hyperconverged infrastructure and edge computing solutions targeting SMB and mid-market customers, including MSPs. Comparable to Virtuozzo's V/IS in offering integrated compute, storage, and virtualization as an appliance-like platform.
- Proxmox VE: Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source virtualization and HCI management platform widely adopted by hosting providers and SMBs. Directly competes with Virtuozzo's V/Server and V/IS at the lower end of the market, especially in the open-source community.
- OpenNebula: OpenNebula is an open-source cloud computing platform for managing heterogeneous data center and edge infrastructure. Comparable to Virtuozzo's V/IS in providing IaaS orchestration for service providers, with similar open-source positioning.
- Apache CloudStack: Apache CloudStack is an open-source IaaS cloud orchestration platform widely used by service providers and telcos. Comparable to Virtuozzo's V/IS as a turnkey cloud platform solution, though community-driven rather than commercially led.
Broad incumbents
- VMware (Broadcom): VMware is the incumbent virtualization platform that Virtuozzo explicitly positions against. Following Broadcom's acquisition, VMware has raised prices and restructured licensing, opening the door for Virtuozzo as an alternative for CSPs, MSPs, and enterprises.
- SUSE (Rancher / NeuVector): SUSE offers enterprise Linux, Kubernetes (Rancher), and security (NeuVector) products targeting cloud-native infrastructure deployments. Overlaps with Virtuozzo's Kubernetes and container management capabilities, though SUSE operates as a broader enterprise platform.
Emerging players
- Platform9: Platform9 provides managed Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure services targeting enterprises and service providers. Comparable to Virtuozzo's V/AM and Kubernetes Hosting offerings, though focused more on managed cloud operations than on-premises software.
