Fit

Who should buy this edition — and who should not

The exclusions matter as much as the inclusions: most mis-sized deals start with the wrong edition.

Who it targets

Telcos, datacenter & hosting operators — Tier-1/2/3 telecom, MVNOs, colocation, carrier-grade MSPs

Telecom operatorsDatacenter & colocation providersManaged service providersRegional and sovereign cloud providers

Buy when

The platform must be monetized — tenants, marketplaces and metered billing are the business.

The outcome

Revenue per tenant, on capacity you own.

A good fit

  • Telecom operators and MVNOs that want to sell governed cloud services on their own network and edge
  • Colocation and datacenter operators converting space-and-power tenants into cloud customers
  • Carrier-grade MSPs that need native multi-tenancy, white-label portals and metering into their BSS

Look elsewhere if

  • Enterprises consuming cloud for their own use — Enterprise covers that without the operator layer
  • Operators that need the network fabric or DCIM features in production before Q4 2026 — those are in preview with design partners

For operators

How operators build a business on Telco & Datacenter

One licensed edition, two operator personas — the revenue model and rollout differ by the infrastructure each one runs.

The operator already owns the enterprise relationship, the network and the SLA culture — what's missing is the platform layer that turns those assets into cloud products. This edition is that layer: deployed on the operator's own infrastructure, white-labelled under the operator's brand, with tenancy, metering, governance and BSS-ready billing native to the platform.
