Our Philosophy

Sovereignty through Engineering.

We believe that true digital sovereignty comes from understanding and owning your infrastructure. It's not enough to rent a cloud; you must be able to operate it.

Our mission is to empower organizations to regain control over their digital destiny by building robust, scalable, and independent cloud platforms.

Every platform we deliver is built on open-source foundations, fully documented, and designed to be operated by your team — not just ours.

What Drives Us

Our Principles

These aren't corporate slogans. They're engineering decisions that shape every platform we build.

Sovereignty First

We build platforms that our clients own and control. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes, no dependencies on our continued involvement.

Engineering Rigor

Every decision is backed by benchmarks, load tests, and failure analysis. We don't guess — we measure, validate, and prove.

Outcome Obsessed

We don't deliver projects — we deliver operational platforms. Success is measured by uptime, adoption, and revenue generated.

Knowledge Transfer

We leave our clients stronger than we found them. Runbooks, training, and embedded engineering ensure lasting independence.

What We Do

Core Expertise

We span the entire stack, from the datacenter floor to the application code.

Infrastructure Engineering

Deep expertise in OpenStack, VMware, Proxmox, Hetzner, Ceph, and bare-metal provisioning. We build the bedrock that never fails.

  • OpenStack, Proxmox & VMware operations
  • Ceph distributed storage
  • Network fabric design
  • Hardware lifecycle management

Platform Orchestration

Masters of Kubernetes and OpenShift. We turn raw compute into a developer-ready platform experience.

  • Multi-cluster Kubernetes
  • OpenShift enterprise platform
  • Service mesh architecture
  • GitOps & continuous delivery

Cloud Automation

If it can be done manually, we automate it. Ansible, Terraform, and custom operators are our tools of trade.

  • Infrastructure as Code
  • Custom Kubernetes operators
  • CI/CD pipeline engineering
  • Policy-as-code enforcement
Our People

Built by Engineers,
for Engineers.

Every person on our team is a practitioner. No project managers pretending to be architects. No slides without code behind them. We hire builders who ship.

Our Journey

Milestones

2004

The Open-Source Foundation

Dario Ristić and Ivan Dudaš launched one of the first international Linux hosting providers in the region. Managing hundreds of servers globally, they championed early open-source adoption and laid the technical groundwork for scalable infrastructure.

2006

Pioneering Regional Cloud & SaaS

Engineered a strategic merger to create the market's second-largest hosting provider. Dario and Ivan introduced the region's earliest cloud computing, SaaS, and managed hosting solutions long before 'cloud' became an industry standard.

2011

Massive-Scale OpenStack Deployments

Architected and deployed a unified Regional Cloud Platform based on OpenStack across three national datacenters. This massive undertaking democratized enterprise-grade cloud services for both B2B and B2C markets.

2014

First Commercial Cloud Cluster in SEE

Planned and executed the first commercial OpenStack-based cloud operating cluster in Southeast Europe. Built specialized delivery teams and defined the long-term strategic vision for modern cloud ecosystems.

2019

The Birth of Cloud Platform

Drawing on 15 years of deep infrastructure and business experience, Dario and Ivan officially founded Cloud Platform. The mission: to completely automate and simplify how service providers build and monetize enterprise cloud platforms.

2021

The Evolution of PLATFORMA

Launched PLATFORMA, our proprietary orchestration layer. It evolved from internal automation tooling into a comprehensive product that bridges raw compute with automated billing, provisioning, and self-service customer portals.

2024

Global Scale & AI-Native Operations

Expanded operations to serve enterprise clients and telcos globally. Integrated MCP agents and AI-driven observability into the platform, ensuring our 6-phase framework remains the fastest path from bare metal to revenue.
