Our Achievememts
Since our founding in 2017, we have come a long way. Scroll down to read through our most significant highlights and success stories that we achieved in the last years.

We successfully launched our first overseas subsidiary in Canada. In the future, this will enable us to provide more comprehensive service availability.
Live Migration Analysis
We completed an extensive report on Live Migration Analysis in the context of the ApeiroRA project with SAP. We have shown that the OpenStack-libvirt-QEMU-KVM stack can migrate terabyte-scale VMs out of the box, though some settings are suboptimal and warrant optimization.
Cyberus in the Linux Kernel
In collaboration with SAP, our optimizations in Linux 6.15 now initialize HugePages using 25% of hardware threads by default and add the hugetlb_alloc_threads option. On large-memory servers, these changes speed boot times by up to 4.3×.
