Core offering

MicroHost Cloud (operating as Utho) sells sovereign IaaS cloud infrastructure — virtual machines, GPU instances, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, object and block storage, VPC, load balancers, firewalls and DDoS protection — delivered from Indian and global data centers on a custom-built control plane, billed through subscriptions and usage-based pricing and provisioned in under 30 seconds via a self-serve console, REST API, and Terraform.

Product overview

Utho Cloud (formerly Microhost, rebranded in 2023) is a multi-product cloud infrastructure platform delivering 28+ services across four categories: Compute (VMs, GPU, bare metal, Kubernetes), Storage (Block, Object, Archive, Snapshots, Backups), Networking (Firewalls, DNS, VPC, Load Balancers, NAT Gateway), and Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB). The platform is anchored by GPU Cloud (NVIDIA H100, H200, B200, A100, L4 for AI/ML) and Cloud Compute (shared/dedicated CPU VMs) running on enterprise-grade infrastructure in Indian and global data centers. A complementary AI & Agentic Tools Marketplace hosts 25+ pre-configured AI tools (OpenClaw, n8n, Dify.ai, Ollama, RAGFlow) deployable in one click. All services share a unified REST API v2, CLI, Terraform provider, and a common control plane. The platform targets Indian enterprises, startups, and AI companies requiring sovereign data residency, offering up to 60-70% cost savings versus global hyperscalers.
