Your clients’ VMware renewals jumped — and they’re asking you what’s next. That’s your opening: a branded cloud (VMs, Kubernetes, databases, storage) on an open platform, no per-core tax eating your margin. Resell it as a product, or build your own with Ænix as your engineering team. You keep the client and the recurring revenue.
Pairs with: White-label cloud and Public cloud builder, Ænix Public Cloud Platform (branded portal + billing), and the Partner Program (up to 40% margin). Core: open-source Cozystack.
Where you are right now
- Clients on VMware/Nutanix want an exit and are asking you for the answer.
- You resell someone else’s cloud and the margin is thin and the lock-in is theirs.
- You can win the deal but staffing the Kubernetes/KubeVirt build is the bottleneck.
- “Sovereign / on-prem cloud” requests are rising and hyperscalers can’t serve them.
What you’re actually trying to do
Add a cloud line to your portfolio that you control: branded, multi-tenant, billable monthly, and credible for the VMware-exit and sovereignty conversations your clients are starting now — without funding a platform R&D team or surrendering the customer to a vendor.
Two ways Ænix helps you
1. Resell a ready platform. Ænix Public Cloud Platform is a white-labelable cloud — customer portal, service catalog (VMs, K8s, managed DBs, S3, GPU), WHMCS-integrated billing, multi-tier reseller model. You brand and sell; we provide platform and support. The Partner Program gives up to 40% margin with deal protection.
2. Build your own, with our team. Want your own differentiated cloud? Cozystack is the framework and Ænix is your outsourced engineering team — we design and stand up your public cloud or white-label cloud, fill the K8s/KubeVirt gap, and you own the platform and the client.
Quick facts
- What it is: a branded, multi-tenant cloud (IaaS/PaaS) you deliver to clients on an open core.
- Who it’s for: Heads of Cloud / Cloud Practice Leads at SIs, MSPs and resellers.
- Margin: up to 40% via the Partner Program; the VMware licence line becomes your margin.
- Licence: Apache 2.0 — no per-core cost dragging your unit economics.
- Status: built on Cozystack, CNCF project (Sandbox 2025-02-28; Incubating application in due diligence).
- Common pitfall: reselling a hyperscaler and competing on price while owning none of the platform value.
Details: Ænix Partner Program.
Why service providers pick Ænix
- You keep the client and the margin. The platform is branded yours; we stay behind the curtain.
- Delivery capacity on tap. Ænix is your K8s/KubeVirt bench — say yes to builds you’d otherwise decline.
- A real VMware-exit story. Open, sovereign-capable, no per-core tax — exactly what your clients are asking for.
FAQ
Do we resell, or build our own? Both are supported. Resell the Public Cloud Platform for speed-to-market; build a differentiated platform with us when you want your own IP. The call scopes which fits.
What’s the margin model? Up to 40% on Ænix platform subscriptions and support via the Partner Program, plus your own recurring managed-services revenue on top.
Can it be fully our brand? Yes — the customer portal and service catalog are white-labelable (white-labelling is an open-source Cozystack feature; Ænix supports it from the Standard support tier); clients see you, not us.
We lack deep Kubernetes staff. Is that a blocker? No — that’s the build-with model. We engineer the platform and enable your team.
Does it cover billing? WHMCS-integrated billing (a proprietary Ænix module) ships with the Public Cloud Platform, with two integration modes.

Free, no prep. We look at your client base and tell you whether reselling the Public Cloud Platform or building your own cloud with us is the faster path to margin.
Ænix created Cozystack, a CNCF Sandbox project (Incubation application in due diligence) under Apache 2.0, and co-maintains it with maintainers from other companies. On it, Ænix builds three platforms that combine rather than exclude each other: Ænix Public Cloud Platform, Ænix Private Cloud Platform and Ænix AI Platform.
