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 license line becomes your margin.
- License: Apache 2.0 — no per-core cost dragging your unit economics.
- Status: built on Cozystack, CNCF project (Sandbox 2025-02-28; Incubating expected late summer 2026).
- Common pitfall: reselling a hyperscaler and competing on price while owning none of the platform value.

- 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 license + 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; 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 ships with the Public Cloud Platform, with two integration modes.

Ænix is the team behind Cozystack — a CNCF project (Sandbox today; Incubating expected late summer 2026), Apache 2.0. Ænix commercializes it as Ænix Platform as three platforms on one engine — Public Cloud, Private Cloud and AI — that combine rather than exclude each other.
