OpenCloud
A sovereign, peer-to-peer distributed cloud for trusted partners.
OpenCloud is an open-source, distributed cloud fabric that lets you selectively share, sell, or rent your infrastructure resources — data, algorithms, compute power, and storage — with other OpenCloud peers.
It provides a peer-to-peer execution layer that can orchestrate distributed workflows across multiple organizations, while each participant keeps full sovereign control over data, infrastructure, and trust relationships.
Distributed execution within the network can be optimized according to your own priorities:
- Maximal sovereignty
- Accelerated computation
- Cost minimization
- Optimized infrastructure investments
Each OpenCloud instance includes:
- an OpenID-based distributed authentication system
- a fully decentralized architecture with no central authority and no single point of failure
- transaction tracking and peer-to-peer billing, ensuring fair compensation for all partners
Distributed • Sovereign • Resilient
- Peer-to-peer federation of private clouds
- Trust controlled by each participant
- No central authority, no lock-in
- Open-source and auditable by design
Why OpenCloud?
OpenCloud interconnects private clouds with a secure, peer-to-peer control plane. Each participant keeps full sovereignty while benefiting from shared resilience and capacity.
