An MSP cloud platform lets a managed-service provider deliver white-label, hyperscaler-class cloud capabilities under its own brand instead of reselling a public hyperscaler. Aenix builds this on Cozystack, an open-source CNCF Sandbox platform that runs virtual machines (via KubeVirt) and containers on one Kubernetes API, with Cilium eBPF networking, LINSTOR/DRBD storage, and a nested Tenant CRD that maps directly to the Aenix-to-MSP-to-customer reseller hierarchy. MSPs get a branded Cozystack Dashboard, WHMCS-integrated billing, and a curated service catalog. Because Cozystack is Apache 2.0 with no per-CPU or per-core licensing, MSPs avoid hyperscaler and VMware-style licensing economics while keeping full control of margin, data residency, and customer relationships.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in 2026 are asked by enterprise customers for cloud capabilities that combine MSP managed-service relationship with hyperscaler-class capabilities. Cozystack-based platform with white-label branding is the realistic path — and what Ænix delivers.
Pairs with: Ænix Public Cloud Platform — fully white-labelable Cozystack Dashboard, multi-tier reseller model, WHMCS-integrated billing, from $1,250/month support tier. See Partner Program for up to 40% margin on resold engagements.
Who this is for
Tier-2 and Tier-3 MSPs, system integrators moving into managed cloud, reseller-channel partners, and specialty MSPs in regulated verticals. What they have in common is a customer relationship worth more than the margin a hyperscaler leaves them on resale.

Why the tenancy model is the whole argument
An MSP reselling a hyperscaler owns the invoice and nothing else: the customer’s account, quotas and support path all live in a console the MSP does not control, and the margin is whatever the partner tier allows.
Cozystack’s Tenant CRD nests, so the hierarchy is the product. An Ænix tenant contains the MSP tenant, which contains a tenant per MSP customer, each with its own quotas, isolation, observability scope and audit trail. The Cozystack Dashboard is branded per level — colours, logo, domain — and WHMCS bills from the MSP’s existing customer-management system, so the customer never sees a second vendor. Because the platform is Apache 2.0 with no per-CPU fee, the margin does not compress as customer workloads grow, and the MSP decides which services in the catalog to expose rather than inheriting someone else’s.
Ænix is the team behind Cozystack.
Frequently asked questions
What is an MSP cloud platform?
It is a cloud platform an MSP runs under its own brand to deliver compute, storage, and managed services to its customers. Aenix delivers it on Cozystack, so the MSP owns the customer relationship, billing, and margin rather than reselling a hyperscaler.
How does white-label work with Cozystack?
The Cozystack Dashboard self-service console is customizable — colors, logo, and domain — so customers see the MSP’s brand. The nested Tenant CRD provides a multi-tier hierarchy from the Aenix tenant down to each MSP-customer tenant.
Is there per-core or per-CPU licensing?
No. Cozystack is open source under Apache 2.0, so there is no per-CPU or per-core licensing. MSPs pay for Aenix support tiers and services rather than capacity-based platform licenses, which protects margin as customer workloads scale.
How does billing integrate for MSPs?
Cozystack integrates natively with WHMCS, so billing flows through the MSP’s existing customer-management system. This supports the multi-tier reseller model where the MSP bills its own customers directly.
Can MSPs serve regulated verticals?
Yes. Because the platform is self-hosted on infrastructure the MSP controls, it supports data-sovereignty and residency positioning for finance, healthcare, and government customers. The MSP decides where data lives and which services to expose.
What does an engagement cost?
Support tiers start at Basic $1,250/month for 10 nodes, then Standard $3,000 and Plus $5,500, with Enterprise pricing custom. The productized Public Cloud Platform adds white-label portal, reseller model, and billing; partners can earn up to 40% margin on resold engagements.
