CloudVantage Partners with OpenMetal to Power Scalable Cloud Hosting Solutions in Africa

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CloudVantage, a leading cloud solutions provider in Africa, has announced a strategic partnership with OpenMetal to leverage its Hosted Private Cloud, powered by OpenStack, for delivering scalable and cost-effective cloud hosting solutions. By integrating OpenMetal’s flexible and high-performance cloud infrastructure, CloudVantage is enhancing cloud access for businesses across the African continent.

Africa’s digital footprint is growing rapidly, increasing demand for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions that offer greater flexibility, control, and affordability than traditional cloud providers. To address these needs, CloudVantage selected OpenMetal’s Hosted Private Cloud, an open-source, high-performance alternative to conventional hyperscale clouds. This enables CloudVantage to offer its clients predictable pricing, dedicated resources, and greater operational efficiency.

Our partnership with OpenMetal allows us to provide businesses with a secure and adaptable cloud environment,” said Muhideen Ashiru, Chief Executive Officer of CloudVantage. “With OpenMetal’s Hosted Private Cloud powering our infrastructure, we can scale our cloud hosting solutions to meet the diverse needs of enterprises without the limitations of traditional public cloud providers.”

CloudVantage is leveraging OpenMetal’s cloud infrastructure to power:

  • Scalable Virtual Machines (VMs) – Flexible compute power for diverse workloads.
  • Managed Cloud Hosting – Secure, optimized environments for businesses.
  • Object and Block Storage – High-availability storage for critical applications.
  • Kubernetes & DevOps Solutions – Optimized infrastructure for automation and containerized workloads.

By using OpenMetal’s Hosted Private Cloud, CloudVantage provides businesses with an enterprise-grade cloud experience without the unpredictability of egress fees or vendor lock-in, ensuring cost efficiency and performance optimization.

“We are excited to collaborate with CloudVantage to redefine cloud hosting in Africa,” said Todd Robinson, President of OpenMetal. “Our Hosted Private Cloud, powered by OpenStack, delivers the agility, control,
and cost efficiency needed to scale cloud services effectively. Together, we’re making reliable cloud infrastructure more accessible in the region.”

With this partnership, CloudVantage is positioned to expand its regional cloud footprint, offering a compelling alternative to major public cloud providers.
