As the digital landscape evolves, enterprises are re-evaluating their infrastructure strategies. Rising virtualization licensing fees, unpredictable public cloud costs, and the need for AI-ready infrastructure have created a perfect storm.

To meet this challenge, ValorC3 Data Centers has officially launched Valor Cloud, an enterprise-grade private cloud platform designed to give organizations what they’ve lost in recent years: predictability, control and scalability.

Quick Summary: Why Valor Cloud Matters

• The New Alternative to VMware: A seamless, phased migration path away from legacy virtualization and rising license costs.
• Predictable Cloud Economics: Eliminate “bill shock” with a fixed-cost model for high-performance infrastructure.
• AI-Ready Architecture: Built on Platform9’s OpenStack Technology to support both legacy apps and high-performance AI workloads.
• Fully Managed Operations: Managed OpenStack technology means your team focuses on innovation, not troubleshooting hardware.
• Integrated Veeam Data Protection: Ensure enterprise-grade backup, recovery, and security are built into your cloud foundation from day one.

Discover Valor Cloud

This video highlights how Valor Cloud integrates Platform9 Managed OpenStack and Veeam data protection to eliminate operational complexity. It demonstrates how enterprises can achieve scalability while maintaining full sovereign control over their data and long-term infrastructure costs.

Breaking Free from Virtualization Licensing Hikes

The virtualization market has been disrupted by shifting ownership and licensing structures, leaving many IT leaders with skyrocketing budgets and no clear path forward. Valor Cloud provides a sovereign foundation, allowing enterprises to migrate workloads to an open architecture while avoiding the constraints of vendor lock-in.

By using a phased migration approach, Valor Cloud enables you to run legacy and modern OpenStack environments in parallel, ensuring zero downtime during your transition.

Solving the Public Cloud “Cost Gap”

While the public cloud offers speed, the long-term economics often fail at scale. Hidden fees and fluctuating costs for storage and data movement can hinder corporate growth.

Valor Cloud delivers predictable infrastructure economics. Because the platform is hosted in ValorC3’s concurrently maintainable, carrier-neutral data centers, enterprises get the performance of a dedicated environment with the flexibility of the cloud, all at a stable, transparent price point.

Built on OpenStack Technology for Modern Workloads

Innovation shouldn’t require a platform overhaul every three years. Valor Cloud is built on Platform9’s managed OpenStack technology, offering:

• Automated Operations: Reducing the complexity of “DIY” private clouds.
• Integrated Data Protection: Powered by Veeam for enterprise-grade backup and recovery.
• Open Architecture: A future-proof environment that supports emerging AI and high-performance compute (HPC) demands alongside traditional business applications.

Uncompromising Security with Integrated Veeam Data Protection

Security isn’t an add-on; it’s the core of the Valor Cloud architecture. By partnering with Veeam, the industry leader in data protection, Valor Cloud ensures that enterprise workloads are resilient against ransomware and data loss.

This integration provides:

• Automated Backup & Recovery: Seamlessly protect virtual machines and applications without manual intervention.
• Ransomware Resiliency: Advanced monitoring and immutable backup options to keep your data safe from modern cyber threats.
• Sovereign Security: Your data remains within ValorC3’s secure, concurrently maintainable data centers, meeting strict regulatory and compliance requirements for data residency.

A National Foundation for Growth

With mission-critical data centers across the United States and rapid expansion underway, ValorC3 is uniquely positioned to support industries with high regulatory and security requirements. Being part of the CVC DIF portfolio ensures the financial backing and stability required to support the world’s most demanding enterprises.
