What Cloudbase Solutions does

Cloudbase Solutions S.R.L. is a Romanian-headquartered (Timisoara, with a secondary office in Bucharest) private software company specializing in cloud interoperability and Windows-on-open-source infrastructure tooling. Its flagship product, Coriolis, is an agentless Cloud Migration and Disaster Recovery as a Service platform that moves virtual workloads across heterogeneous hypervisors and clouds, including VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, OpenStack, Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager, SUSE Linux Virtualization, Proxmox VE, AWS, Azure, and Azure Stack, using Changed Block Tracking for incremental replication and supporting zero-downtime migrations. The broader portfolio comprises Cloudbase-Init (a widely deployed guest initialization agent for OpenStack, Azure, Oracle Cloud, VMware, Kubernetes CAPI, OpenNebula, and Equinix Metal), Windows cloud images, Ceph on Windows (native Ceph RBD via the proprietary WNBD Storport driver, jointly with SUSE), qemu-img for Windows, FreeRDP web connect and Windows builds, a Hyper-Converged Datacenter reference architecture, and bare-metal Kubernetes deployment tooling (k8sbm).

The company operates an enterprise go-to-market model: quote-based pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue derives from software licenses and subscriptions, support and maintenance contracts, and professional services covering deployment, automation, managed cloud, and custom development (including Juju charms). Distribution is anchored by OEM-style integrations with SUSE and Oracle; Coriolis is bundled into SUSE Virtualization licenses (10 migrations per license), and Coriolis is jointly marketed with Oracle OLVM through webinars and SUSECON-style events. The S.R.L. has no disclosed parent, no funding rounds on record, and operates with 11–50 employees; co-founder Alessandro Pilotti leads the company as CEO. Primary customer segments are enterprise IT infrastructure teams seeking to migrate away from VMware following Broadcom's licensing changes, Windows-centric cloud operators, and open-source cloud infrastructure deployers using OpenStack, Ceph, and Kubernetes.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• SUSEcoreTechnology or Integration · 21 April 2026SUSE partnered with Cloudbase Solutions to integrate the Coriolis migration tool into the SUSE Virtualization stack. This partnership enables enterprises to perform zero-downtime, automated migration from VMware to SUSE Virtualization following Broadcom's licensing changes. Each SUSE virtualization license includes 10 bundled Coriolis migrations, addressing labor costs, downtime risk, and dual licensing costs during transition. The integration positions Cloudbase Solutions' Coriolis as a core component of SUSE's competitive response to VMware in the enterprise virtualization market.

Direct peers

• Veeam Software: Veeam is a leading provider of backup, disaster recovery, and workload mobility for virtual, physical, and cloud environments, with strong VMware and Hyper-V support. Competes with Coriolis on VM migration, DRaaS replicas, and multi-cloud workload portability, but at significantly larger scale.
• RiverMeadow Software: RiverMeadow offers automated, agentless cloud migration and DRaaS for enterprise workloads across VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, and OpenStack. Closest direct competitor to Coriolis in scope and target use case, particularly for cross-hypervisor migrations.
• Zerto: Zerto (an HPE company) provides enterprise disaster recovery and cloud migration for virtualized and cloud-native workloads, with deep VMware vSphere support and replication-based DRaaS. Direct overlap with Coriolis's VM migration and DRaaS positioning, especially for VMware-heavy enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• AWS Application Migration Service: AWS's lift-and-shift migration service (formerly CloudEndure) for moving physical, virtual, and cloud-based servers into AWS, offered free for 90 days and with deep native integration. Direct competitor to Coriolis for AWS-terminating migrations, with hyperscaler scale and pricing advantages.
• SUSE: SUSE is a global enterprise open-source vendor and Cloudbase's most strategic commercial partner, bundling Coriolis into SUSE Virtualization licenses. While primarily a partner, SUSE's broader virtualization and Linux portfolio overlaps with adjacent capabilities Cloudbase enables on top of it.
• Azure Migrate: Microsoft's native migration tooling for moving on-premises VMware, Hyper-V, physical, and public cloud workloads into Azure, bundled with Azure consumption incentives. Competes directly with Coriolis for migrations terminating on Azure, with significant pricing leverage.
• Carbonite (now part of OpenText): Carbonite (Webroot + Carbonite under OpenText) provides endpoint backup, server backup, and cloud workload migration, including VMware-centric DRaaS. Overlaps with Coriolis on enterprise VM migration and data protection, but as part of a much broader data management portfolio.

Emerging players

• Storware Backup & Recovery: Storware is a European open-source backup and DR vendor supporting VMware, Hyper-V, oVirt, OpenStack, and Ceph. Comparable to Cloudbase in open-source orientation and European footprint, with overlapping target customers in Ceph/OpenStack-based private clouds.
• Trilio (Triliovault): Trilio provides data protection, disaster recovery, and migration for OpenStack and Kubernetes environments. Comparable emerging player in the open-source cloud workload mobility space, particularly relevant to Cloudbase's OpenStack and Kubernetes customer base.
• Virtuozzo (now part of Acronis): Virtuozzo provides virtualization, cloud storage, and container platforms, and Acronis (its parent) offers workload migration and cyber protection. Comparable emerging alternative in the open-source virtualization and workload mobility space where Cloudbase competes.
