As a shared hosting provider, we offer VPS services and rely on CloudStack as our core orchestrator for our infrastructure. We operate it on our own hardware and through an on-premises cloud. CloudStack allows us to virtualize and distribute our physical capacity across our various services.

Compared to other cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, CloudStack is an open-source cloud computing platform similar to OpenStack. The platform is primarily developed in Java, with its master and client services being open-source as well. This sets it apart from its competitors in the cloud computing market.
My company is a consultancy service and we design, deploy, and support Apache CloudStack for companies worldwide. CloudStack is generally used as a cloud management solution for public clouds, where it is used as a type of bridge for telecom companies and cloud service providers. This is the most common use case around the world, but we also see a lot of use cases for universities as well private cloud environments that are situated on-premises. Our typical process when using CloudStack starts with designing the cloud, which includes the infrastructure and everything that the customer needs to provide such as the servers, networking, and storage. Once the design is completed, our team then deploys and installs CloudStack, after which we handle the support and training of the customer's employees. CloudStack is suitable for companies of all sizes, ranging across small, medium, and large. Some companies use it globally, whereas others may use it with a local cloud provider.

We use this solution for two things; the first is the handling of all of our virtual machines through centralization, and the second is the orchestration of services.

We are developing a software for data centers to ease the process of storage hardware maintenance and providing services. We needed a framework which supported the basics of our requirements. CloudStack's framework was our first choice.

We use Apache CloudStack to provide Public IaaS cloud services in Switzerland at two locations. Together with our own fiber optic-based private network, it features guaranteed latencies of under 0.5 ms per 80 km and optical encryption. We offer the highest level of security and confidentiality to our customers.
Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform.

We had our own AWS instance providing virtual machines. It works quite well with balancers. Around 30 engineers at my company use it.
