Open Edge Cloud

What Open Edge Cloud does

Open Edge Cloud, operating as Open Edge LLC (Wyoming), is a privately-held managed cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2024 by Joshua Cornutt, former CTO of ORock Technologies. The company delivers OpenStack-powered enterprise cloud services including compute, storage, networking, load balancing, firewalls, secrets management, and Kubernetes orchestration, hosted exclusively in US-sovereign datacenters (Iron Mountain VA-1 in Manassas, Virginia, operational; STACK Infrastructure POR02A in Hillsboro, Oregon, coming online Q2 2026). Its technology stack runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules (CMVP Certificate #5115), Ceph distributed storage, OVN software-defined networking, Keycloak identity management, OpenStack Barbican secrets management, HAProxy TLS gateway, and Prometheus-based monitoring, with all operations and personnel located in the United States. The company offers OpenCloud as a managed enterprise file sharing application with server-side encryption and Collabora Online document editing.

Open Edge serves mid-market enterprises and regulated-vertical customers that have outgrown hyperscalers and require verifiable US data sovereignty, contractual compliance commitments, and predictable cost structures. Primary verticals include the defense industrial base (ITAR/CMMC L2), healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (SOX/state privacy laws), and critical infrastructure operators, with FedRAMP Moderate authorization actively pursued via OSCAL. The company follows SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 control frameworks and supports GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and VCDPA workloads. Custom OpenStack Barbican integration with P-521 EC keys and customer-managed key encryption for Cinder volumes differentiates the platform technically.

The go-to-market is exclusively enterprise direct sales with named account teams, consultation requests routed through website forms and Calendly booking, and contract-based engagement via Master Services Agreements or Order Forms. Pricing is custom-built per customer requirements with monthly or annual billing and no egress fees, no hidden surcharges, no per-service metering, and no minimum spend. Distribution is US-only with no international operations, and no self-service, SMB, or consumer channels. The company is founder-owned, bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investors, and operates with 1-10 employees out of its Sheridan, Wyoming headquarters.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Kyndryl: Kyndryl is a large managed infrastructure services provider spun out of IBM, offering multi-cloud and private cloud managed services to regulated enterprises. Comparable in the managed-infrastructure, named-account-team delivery model that Open Edge emphasizes, but at vastly larger scale.
• Microsoft Azure Government: Azure Government is Microsoft's dedicated cloud for US government and defense, with FedRAMP High and DoD IL4/IL5 authorizations. Competes in defense/regulated segments but operates within Microsoft's multinational control plane, undermining Open Edge's sovereignty narrative.
• IBM Cloud for Government: IBM Cloud for Government delivers FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure with hybrid and on-prem capabilities for federal and regulated buyers. Comparable in compliance focus and enterprise/regulated target market, with established federal procurement presence Open Edge lacks.
• Amazon Web Services GovCloud: AWS GovCloud is the dominant dedicated US-region cloud for government and regulated workloads, with FedRAMP High authorization and broad compliance certifications. Competes with Open Edge for defense and regulated buyers but cannot match US personnel/control-plane sovereignty or named-engineer support.
• Google Cloud Assured Workloads: Google Cloud Assured Workloads provides sovereignty controls, regional residency, and compliance support for regulated workloads including government, defense, and healthcare. Comparable as a compliance-focused cloud offering but at vastly larger scale and as part of a broader hyperscaler portfolio.

Emerging players

• Nutanix: Nutanix provides hyperconverged private cloud infrastructure enabling on-premises OpenStack-like environments for enterprises. Relevant as a private-cloud alternative path for the same buyers Open Edge targets, though typically deployed customer-managed rather than as a managed service.

Direct peers

• Rackspace Technology: Rackspace is a managed cloud provider with deep OpenStack heritage, offering multi-cloud and private cloud managed services across OpenStack, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Directly comparable to Open Edge in business model (managed services, named account teams) and OpenStack technology stack, but operating at much larger scale and without US-sovereignty focus.
• ORock Technologies: ORock is a FedRAMP-authorized sovereign cloud provider founded/led previously by Open Edge's founder Joshua Cornutt. Highly comparable as a US-sovereign, OpenStack-based cloud targeting federal and regulated workloads, with FedRAMP Moderate/High credentials. Same target buyers and regulatory positioning.
• PhoenixNAP Global IT Services: PhoenixNAP operates bare-metal and cloud infrastructure across multiple US and global data centers with compliance-focused services including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI. Comparable as a mid-market focused infrastructure provider with strong US compliance posture, though broader in geographic reach than Open Edge.
• OVHcloud US: OVHcloud is a European-rooted cloud provider with US-region operations emphasizing data sovereignty, predictable pricing, and infrastructure control. Comparable in sovereignty and pricing-predictability messaging, with similar mid-market positioning, but with non-US parent entity undercuts Open Edge's personnel-sovereignty claim.
