Uptime Solution — Infrastructure, Automation & Cloud Ops

Why enterprises choose Uptime Solution

THE CASE FOR
TAKING BACK CONTROL

86% of enterprise CIOs now plan to repatriate workloads from public cloud — the highest figure ever recorded. The economics have shifted. Own your infrastructure, own your costs.

💸

STOP THE BILL SHOCK

Nearly half of cloud buyers overspent their cloud budget in 2023 — 59% expect to do so again. Predictable on-premises costs put your finance team back in control.

🔓

ESCAPE VENDOR LOCK-IN

Broadcom's VMware acquisition triggered 150–1,000%+ price hikes for thousands of enterprises. Open-source infrastructure means you're never at the mercy of a vendor's pricing strategy again.

🇪🇺

EUROPEAN DATA SOVEREIGNTY

GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific compliance requirements demand data stays in your control. Private cloud infrastructure built and operated in Europe — by Europeans.

⚡

ZERO UNPLANNED DOWNTIME

When AWS us-east-1 goes down, it takes half the internet with it. Your own private cloud eliminates the 'noisy neighbour' problem — your resources are physically yours.

📈

BUILT TO SCALE

The OpenStack services market is growing at 32% CAGR and projected to reach $120B by 2030. We build the private cloud foundation your business needs to scale alongside it.

🔁

FULLY AUTOMATED OPS

Infrastructure as Code means every server, network, and service is version-controlled, reproducible, and deployable in minutes — not days. Your team stops fighting fires and starts building.

What we do

SERVICES

From VMware exits to full private cloud builds — we handle the infrastructure decisions that keep your CTO up at night, so you don't have to.

CLOUD REPATRIATION & VMWARE MIGRATION

OPENSTACK — DEPLOYMENT, OPERATIONS & UPGRADES

End-to-end OpenStack consulting: greenfield deployments on bare metal, day-2 operations, version upgrades, and long-term managed support. From single-site lab environments to multi-region, highly available production platforms.

→

INFRASTRUCTURE AUTOMATION & IaC

Turn your infrastructure into code. Using Ansible, AWX, and GitOps workflows, we make your entire stack reproducible, version-controlled, and deployable in minutes — eliminating manual errors and enabling teams to scale without hiring.

→

DEVOPS ENABLEMENT & RELEASE AUTOMATION

From code commit to production: we design and operate the full delivery pipeline — CI/CD, automated testing, container builds, security scanning, and GitOps releases. Your developers ship faster, your ops team sleeps better.

→

SECURITY, HARDENING & COMPLIANCE

CIS benchmark hardening, automated compliance reporting, GDPR & NIS2 alignment, and ISO 27001 support — built into every layer of your infrastructure from day one, not retrofitted after an audit.

→

CONTAINER & WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT

Design and operation of containerized architectures using Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes — on your own hardware. Kubernetes on OpenStack deployments surged 80% in 2023. We've been doing it since before the hype.

Common questions

FAQ

We're on VMware — how bad is the Broadcom situation really?+

Very real. Since Broadcom's $61B acquisition of VMware in 2023, enterprises are reporting 150–1,000%+ cost increases at renewal. Gartner predicts 35% of VMware workloads will migrate to alternative platforms by 2028. 74% of IT leaders are actively evaluating alternatives right now. We specialise in migrating these workloads to OpenStack — with zero data loss and minimal disruption.

What does it actually cost to leave AWS or Azure?+

There is upfront investment in hardware and migration, but the payoff is fast. 37signals saved $7 million over five years after leaving the cloud. GEICO repatriated after cloud costs increased 2.5x. For predictable, stable workloads at scale, private cloud consistently outperforms public cloud on TCO. We provide a detailed cost comparison before any engagement begins.

How long does a typical project take?+

2–6 weeks for automation and hardening engagements. 2–4 months for VMware or cloud migration projects. Full OpenStack greenfield deployments run 3–6 months depending on scale. After an initial discovery call, we'll give you a concrete timeline and fixed-scope proposal.

Do you work remotely or on-site?+

Both. Most infrastructure work happens remotely, but we're available on-site for physical data center work, hardware commissioning, and critical migration cutovers. We're based in Vienna and operate across the DACH region and wider Europe.

We have an existing Ansible codebase — can you take it over?+

Yes. We analyse, refactor and extend existing Ansible playbooks and roles — making them modular, maintainable, and team-capable. We can also migrate from other tools like Puppet, Chef, or shell scripts to a modern Ansible structure.

How do you handle GDPR and data residency requirements?+

Data sovereignty is a core reason European enterprises are choosing private cloud. We build infrastructure that stays within your jurisdiction — in your data center or in European colocation facilities. Every deployment is designed with GDPR, NIS2 and relevant sectoral compliance in mind from day one.

Do you offer ongoing managed operations?+

Yes. We can operate your infrastructure on an ongoing basis, transfer knowledge to your internal team, or do both in parallel. Our goal is always to leave your team more capable than we found it — not to create dependency on us.

What does getting started look like?+

A 30-minute discovery call where we understand your environment, constraints, and goals. We then provide a written assessment with a recommended approach and a fixed-scope proposal — no commitment required. Most clients have a clear plan within a week of first contact.

The people behind the infrastructure

ENGINEERS.
NOT SALESPEOPLE.

Founded in 1995 — before 'cloud native' was a buzzword, we were already building the infrastructure it runs on. For 30 years, Uptime Solution has operated as a team of hands-on engineers and architects. No account managers. No upselling. Just people who know infrastructure inside out and get the job done.
