Who This Is For
Providers need clear packaging repeatable pricing operational simplicity commercial scalability
Most providers can deploy infrastructure. Few can commercialise it properly.
VMware Exit & Migration
Leaving VMware is step one. Rebuilding your cloud business is step two.
Exiting VMware isn’t just a technical migration. It affects service packaging, pricing models, customer contracts, and operational workflows.
Most providers underestimate the commercial impact. We don’t. We offer a controlled transition from VMware: technically stable, commercially stronger, operationally simpler.

Commercial Architecture
Infrastructure is not a business model.
Technical deployment is straightforward. Commercial clarity is not. Without deliberate design, you get SKU confusion, margin erosion, and billing complexity.
We design the commercial architecture behind your cloud platform, from packaging and pricing to billing workflows and operational alignment. As a result, your cloud platform is simpler to sell, easier to operate and designed for margin.

Why Fractional Teams
We’ve built cloud platforms before.
Not in theory. Not in slide decks. In production.
We understand what it takes to properly deploy cloud platforms, how packaging and billing decisions impact margin and scale, and where cloud platforms face commercial failure points.
Our team are experts in management, control and infrastructure layers, with experience across VMware, OnApp, Proxmox, OpenNebula and many more.
Who we are
We offer real-world exposure
Our team includes former OnApp leadership, offering global service provider experience, and deep expertise in Proxmox and OpenNebula, alongside commercial packaging and monetisation strategies.
What That Means in Practice
We don’t just design clusters. We design cloud businesses.
Our approach is focused on designing a commercially viable, operationally simple platform where the architecture aligns with margin targets. We achieve it by ensuring clear pricing and outlining a roadmap for scalable control and automation.
