A Local Cloud Option Built Around Your Priorities

 

Cloud decisions have become harder to make. VMware licensing changes are forcing organizations to reconsider long-term plans. Public cloud costs can be difficult to predict. At the same time, business leaders are asking IT teams to support AI without introducing unnecessary cost, complexity, or risk.

 

US Signal OpenCloud® gives Ohio organizations another option. OpenCloud infrastructure is deployed within an Ohio data center, providing a locally available cloud platform backed by a team that can help you assess, migrate, secure, and manage your environment.

 

With OpenCloud, you can place workloads based on what they actually require, not what a single vendor or platform dictates.

Rethinking VMware? You Have Options.

Changes to VMware licensing and pricing have left many IT leaders questioning whether their current platform still makes financial and operational sense. Moving everything to the public cloud may not solve the problem, especially for steady-state workloads that need predictable performance and costs.

 

OpenCloud offers a flexible alternative with:

  • Predictable pricing that makes budgeting easier
  • A consumption-based model designed to reduce overprovisioning
  • Support for private, hybrid, and multicloud strategies
  • Migration planning and hands-on support from US Signal experts
  • A platform designed to help you maintain control of your workloads and data

Frequently Asked Questions

What is US Signal OpenCloud?

OpenCloud is a flexible cloud infrastructure platform designed to give organizations greater control over workload placement, performance, and costs. It can support private cloud, hybrid cloud, and multicloud strategies without tying every workload to a single platform.
