What we replace
If you came here for one of these, start at the linked page.
Migration / replacement
VMware / vSphere replacement
Broadcom price changes pushed you to look for a successor. We move VMware estates to Cozystack-based platforms — VM-first, with a real cloud-business stack on top.
VMware migration →A modern alternative to OpenStack
If your OpenStack is too much to operate but you still need a multi-tenant cloud, Cozystack gives you the same outcome with Kubernetes-native ops and a fraction of the operational surface.
Cozystack vs OpenStack →Bring workloads back from AWS / Azure / GCP
Sustained workloads on hyperscalers are no longer the cheapest option. We model the TCO and migrate without locking you into a new vendor.
Repatriation engagement →New cloud / sovereignty / compliance
Compliance-driven cloud architecture
DORA in force since 2025-01-17. NIS2 transposed 2024-10-17. We rebuild your cloud architecture so it's defensible at supervisor cycle, not retrofitted in a panic.
DORA compliance →Run AI on infrastructure you control
Replace OpenAI / Bedrock / Vertex API spend with sovereign inference and fine-tuning on your own GPUs. Customer-controlled keys, weights, and audit trail.
Sovereign AI →Stand up a new cloud on bare metal
Greenfield cloud-build engagement on hardware you own or lease — Ænix engineers design, deploy, and operate the platform with you, on the open-source Cozystack foundation. For hosting providers, regional clouds, sovereign cloud builders, internal developer platforms.
Build private cloud — service →Pick your platform
One question settles it: who consumes the capacity? Same Cozystack engine underneath all three — different surface on top. They are not tiers, and picking one does not rule out the others.
They combine. A provider adds GPU-as-a-Service on hardware it already runs. A bank takes AI Platform under the same key custody and tenancy boundary its auditor already accepted. A telco sells a sovereign cloud product while running its regulated internal estate — one platform, one team. Adding a second surface is a configuration decision, not a second procurement. How the platforms fit together →
Why open core
We are the open-core company behind Cozystack — a CNCF project we created and maintain. Currently CNCF Sandbox; CNCF Incubating expected late summer 2026. Apache 2.0.
Ænix Platform is the commercial productization of Cozystack: hosting panel, user / admin / support portals, service-creation wizards, full billing, payment integrations, WHMCS integration, enterprise SLA.
What that buys you in practice:
- No proprietary lock-in at the platform layer — the substrate is the same OSS project anyone else can run. Contracts are about who builds, runs, and supports it.
- Supplier transparency to the second hop — DORA-aligned subcontractor disclosure, with the upstream project being our own work.
- Customer-controlled keys at every layer — encryption keys for storage, secrets, audit logs are yours, not ours.
- Two jurisdictions — AENIX s.r.o. (Czechia) for EU contracts and EU public-sector procurement. AENIX INC (Delaware) for US contracts.
How we engage
Discovery call
30 minutes, no commitment. We confirm buyer profile, platform fit, regulatory context, and whether we should keep talking.
Platform Readiness Assessment
1–2 weeks, fixed-price. Architecture review, gap analysis, written deliverables. Output: a roadmap you can take to the board.
Pilot, then full build
Pilot on a defined slice (3–6 months). Then production build (6–24 months depending on scope). Optional managed retainer post-deployment.
