The build tax
Engineering months, realistically years, poured into a KaaS control plane, multi-tenancy, isolation and lifecycle automation before a single cent of revenue arrives.
For Managed & Cloud Service Providers
We built the platform, so you can build the business.
Launch sovereign Kubernetes as a service in your portfolio on infrastructure you control, without sinking engineering years into a control plane, multi-tenancy and lifecycle automation before you earn a cent. Your Kubernetes and vGPU service offerings, powered by CLASTIX.
The platform cloud providers already build on
THE BUILD TAX
Building Kubernetes as a service yourself costs more than teams realise.
A credible multi-tenant KaaS offering means solving for self-service, security and isolation across Kubernetes, the control plane, compute and network. Lifecycle management alone can eat your engineers’ days: creating clusters and namespaces, rotating certificates, running upgrades. Skip the build and start from a platform made for multi-tenant Kubernetes.
Opportunity cost
Every engineering hour spent on platform plumbing is one not spent on customer growth, onboarding and the services that actually differentiate you.
Paid once, paid half
Resell a hyperscaler and you become a tenant farmer: you grow the business, but the infrastructure, and most of the value, belongs to someone else. The workload never sits in your estate, so the customer can leave as easily as they arrived, and you own neither the margin nor the relationship.
Sovereignty you cannot promise
A sovereignty story falls apart the moment the engine underneath is someone else’s cloud, in someone else’s jurisdiction, on someone else’s roadmap.
A burden that never ends
Slow time-to-market at launch, then an endless maintenance, CVE and upgrade treadmill that keeps pulling your team back to the platform layer.
Losing the GPU customer
GPUaaS is becoming table stakes, and customers are drifting to AI-fabric and NeoCloud vendors fully specialised in serving GPU capacity you cannot match yet.
WHY kMETAL
We already did the hard part. You get the market, the margin and the relationship.
kMetal is the tested platform underneath your service: a real, isolated Kubernetes cluster per tenant on infrastructure you own. You put your brand on it and go to market.
Enter GPUaaS without the NeoCloud build
kMetal serves shared and on-demand GPU capacity to tenants in hard-isolated environments, so a small investment gets you into the GPUaaS space you are otherwise losing.
Your Kubernetes and vGPU service offerings, powered by CLASTIX
Fast market entry for Kubernetes as a service on an OEM, white-label basis. Customers see your offering; CLASTIX runs quietly underneath.
Grow with us, without the build tax
A revenue-share model that scales with you instead of a multi-year platform project that burns capital before it returns any.
Operate your layer, do not rent it
Genuine operational independence on hardware and locations you control – a sovereignty story you can actually stand behind, that contributes toward your customers’ regulatory and residency requirements.
Credibility by association
The same platform regional clouds and hosting providers already build on in production, so you adopt a proven foundation rather than an experiment.
Efficiency that protects margin
More tenants per node on bare metal, with compute and network isolation and no separate hypervisor layer inflating the cost base underneath your price.
WHEREVER YOU’RE STARTING FROM
Whichever way you come to on-prem Kubernetes, kMetal meets you there.
MSPs arrive at sovereign Kubernetes as a service from different places. kMetal fits all three without changing the model underneath.
Replacing a platform you have outgrown
You already run on-prem Kubernetes, but a virtualization-era platform is costing too much and holding you back. kMetal gives you a modern, multi-tenant control plane on bare metal, with compute and network isolation and no separate hypervisor layer – a clean path off legacy licensing and toward repatriation.
Bringing public-cloud KaaS on-premises
You offer managed Kubernetes on a hyperscaler today, and customers now want a sovereign, on-premises option. kMetal delivers the same self-service, on-demand cloud experience on infrastructure you control, so you answer the ask without re-architecting your service.
Launching your first KaaS offering
You do not offer Kubernetes yet and want to start on-premises. kMetal is a tested platform you launch under your own brand, provisioning isolated tenant clusters in about a minute – so you enter the market on a proven foundation instead of a multi-year build.
OEM & WHITE LABEL
Your Kubernetes and vGPU service offerings, powered by CLASTIX.
Launch Kubernetes as a service under your own name, your own portal and your own customer relationship, with CLASTIX as the engine that makes it work.
Your service, your brand, your customer
The portal, the billing, the relationship.
kMetal – powered by CLASTIX
Control plane, isolation, lifecycle, GPU
Infrastructure you control
Your hardware, your locations, your jurisdiction
IN PRODUCTION
Cloud providers already run their services on CLASTIX.
“The better manageability of Clastix solutions and their independence from the underlying computing layer, in the end, made the decision easy.”
“We are proud of the step forward we have taken with the new architecture, and we are very pleased to have partnered with the Clastix team for their deep expertise and unique approach to Kubernetes.”
“Kamaji works exactly as expected: it’s simple, efficient, scalable, and I especially appreciate how Clastix has always been available for technical discussions and support.”
“We are running the open-source project Kamaji within our Rackspace Spot platform today, and the results are impressive.”
