Industries — Large Enterprise

Your private cloud, AWS-like experience

Give your development teams the self-service cloud experience they expect — on your own infrastructure, with your security policies, and complete cost visibility per department.

The Problem

Enterprise IT pain points

Internal IT teams are stuck between developer demands for speed and management demands for control. The result: shadow IT, cost overruns, and compliance gaps.

Shadow IT

Development teams bypass IT and spin up resources on public clouds using corporate credit cards. You lose visibility, control, and compliance — while costs spiral out of sight.

Manual VM Requests

Developers submit tickets for infrastructure. IT processes them manually. A 90-second provisioning task takes 3-5 business days through the service desk — killing productivity and developer satisfaction.

No Cost Visibility

Infrastructure costs are buried in shared budgets. No one knows what each department, project, or application actually consumes. Chargeback is impossible without granular metering.

Compliance Gaps

Without centralized policy enforcement, every team configures infrastructure differently. Security standards are inconsistent, audit trails are incomplete, and compliance is a manual exercise.

The Solution

How PLATFORMA helps

An internal cloud platform that gives developers the speed they want and IT the control it needs. Self-service with guardrails.

Self-Service Developer Portal

Give developers an internal cloud portal where they can provision VMs, databases, and Kubernetes namespaces on demand. Guardrails are built in — quotas, policies, and approved configurations only.

Departmental Chargeback

Automatic cost tracking per department, project, and application. Monthly chargeback reports with resource utilization breakdowns. Finance gets visibility, departments get accountability.

Policy Enforcement

Define security and compliance policies once — they are enforced automatically at provisioning time. No unapproved configurations, no exceptions, no drift. Every resource is born compliant.

Hybrid Cloud Orchestration

Manage on-premise private cloud alongside public cloud resources from a single control plane. Workload placement policies determine where applications run based on cost, compliance, and performance.

RBAC with AD/LDAP

Integrate with your existing Active Directory or LDAP. Role-based access control maps to your org structure — department heads approve resources, developers consume them, finance reviews costs.

Complete Audit Trail

Every action is logged — who provisioned what, when, and why. API calls, configuration changes, and access events are captured with full traceability for compliance audits.

Use Cases

Real-world scenarios

How enterprises are using PLATFORMA to build internal cloud platforms that developers actually want to use.

Bank Deploys Internal PaaS

A Tier-1 bank replaces its manual VM request process with a self-service internal PaaS. Development teams provision pre-approved environments in minutes instead of weeks — while security policies are enforced automatically at every step.

Manual VM requests eliminated
Pre-approved security configurations
Full audit trail for regulatory compliance

Manufacturer Standardizes Dev Environments

A global manufacturer with 15 development teams standardizes on a single internal cloud platform. Environment sprawl drops 60%, costs become transparent per team, and onboarding new developers takes hours instead of weeks.

Per-team cost visibility and chargeback
New developer onboarding in hours

Insurance Company Tracks Infrastructure Costs

A large insurance company implements departmental chargeback for the first time. Within 3 months, IT spend drops 25% as departments optimize their resource consumption now that costs are visible and attributed.

FAQ

Common Questions

The platform is designed for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance. It provides the technical controls — RBAC, MFA, audit logging, encryption at rest and in transit, and network isolation — required by these frameworks. We provide compliance documentation and work with your security team during deployment.

The platform integrates with AD/LDAP via standard protocols (LDAP/LDAPS). Users authenticate with their existing corporate credentials. Groups map to platform roles — e.g., an AD group 'DevTeam-Alpha' can be mapped to a platform organization with specific resource quotas and access policies. SSO via SAML 2.0 and OIDC is also supported.

Yes. The platform supports VM import from VMware environments via OVA/VMDK conversion. We provide migration tooling and can plan a phased migration where VMware and the new platform run in parallel. Most enterprise migrations complete within 8-12 weeks without disrupting existing workloads.

Yes. The platform supports multi-region deployments with workload placement policies. Each datacenter operates as an independent region with its own compute, storage, and networking — managed from a single control plane. Cross-region replication and failover can be configured per application.
