FLOSSYSTEMS LTD

What FLOSSYSTEMS LTD does

FLOSSYSTEMS LTD, operating under the trade name FLOSSystems, is a privately held consultancy and managed services firm headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The company is 100% focused on open source cloud technologies and delivers a three-line service portfolio: Distributed Systems Design (architectural and advisory work for cloud-native environments), Tailored Solutions (custom development and implementation), and Managed Platforms (ongoing operational support across on-premise, hybrid, and public cloud deployments). Its stated target customer is organizations undergoing cloud-native transformation that require external expertise to design, build, and operate distributed systems.

The underlying technology stack is built around open source cloud and distributed systems tooling, with no proprietary features, patents, or trademarks disclosed. FLOSSYSTEMS does not operate a software product; instead, its value derives from the consulting and operational expertise of its practitioners. The firm maintains a developer-relations presence on GitHub, GitLab, and Twitter/X, positioning itself within the open source community.

FLOSSYSTEMS earns revenue through professional services engagements and recurring managed platform contracts, with pricing on a quote-based, bespoke basis. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, delivering services into organizations globally in principle, though documented operating geography is concentrated in Europe/Spain. The company was founded in 2019 and operates with 1–10 employees, with no disclosed funding, named customers, management team, or M&A activity in the available dataset.

Direct peers

• Rafay Systems: Rafay offers a Kubernetes management and platform engineering platform with managed services for enterprise multi-cluster environments. Comparable to FLOSSYSTEMS in focusing on operational management of cloud-native platforms across hybrid infrastructure.
• Mirantis: Mirantis delivers open source cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes management platforms, including managed services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It directly mirrors FLOSSYSTEMS' open source focus and managed platforms offering, though at significantly greater scale.
• Platform.sh: Platform.sh operates a cloud-native application platform with managed hosting and tailored solutions for enterprise digital teams. Comparable to FLOSSYSTEMS in providing managed platform services and custom solutions for cloud-native journeys.
• Container Solutions (SUSE): Container Solutions, now part of SUSE, is a pure-play cloud-native consultancy specializing in Kubernetes, platform engineering, and open source distributed systems design. It is a direct competitor to FLOSSYSTEMS' Distributed Systems Design and Managed Platforms offerings.
• Canonical: Canonical provides open source cloud infrastructure (OpenStack, Kubernetes, MAAS) and managed services for enterprises running hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Comparable to FLOSSYSTEMS in open source ethos and hybrid cloud platform management focus.

Broad incumbents

• HashiCorp (IBM): HashiCorp provides open source cloud infrastructure tooling (Terraform, Consul, Vault) widely used in the same cloud-native transformations FLOSSYSTEMS designs and operates. It is a tooling incumbent rather than a consultancy peer, but central to the open source ecosystem FLOSSYSTEMS services.
• Cloudreach (Atos): Cloudreach, now part of Atos, is a cloud managed services and transformation consultancy delivering multi-cloud platform management for enterprises. Comparable to FLOSSYSTEMS' Managed Platforms and cloud-native design services, though operating at much larger scale as part of a global SI.
• SUSE: SUSE provides open source enterprise Linux, Kubernetes (Rancher), and cloud infrastructure solutions with associated services. A broad incumbent operating in the same open source cloud infrastructure space as FLOSSYSTEMS.
• Red Hat / IBM Cloud Services: Red Hat delivers open source hybrid cloud platforms (OpenShift, RHEL, Ansible) plus extensive consulting and managed services. A broad incumbent serving the same enterprise cloud-native transformation market as FLOSSYSTEMS but at much larger scale and with proprietary IP.

Emerging players

• Kinvolk (Microsoft): Kinvolk, acquired by Microsoft, specialized in open source Kubernetes and Linux tooling (Talos, Inspektor Gadget). It overlapped with FLOSSYSTEMS' distributed systems design expertise in the cloud-native open source ecosystem.
