Multi-Cloud

Running workloads across several providers means linking their networks and reconciling more than one bill. KVPC gives you a private network on KASTERVO that you configure yourself and connect to your other clouds over VPN.

Common Multi-Cloud Bottlenecks

Linking Provider Networks

Each provider has its own network model and VPN gateway. In KVPC, VPN connections run through an edge firewall you control, over IKEv2, OpenVPN, IPsec or WireGuard, and you configure the KASTERVO end of each tunnel yourself.

Inconsistent Security Policies

Firewall rules and segmentation work differently on every platform, and gaps open where they don't line up. In KVPC, you define the firewall rules and the VLAN and subnet layout, so you can apply the same segmentation policy you use with your other providers.

Bills That Move Every Month

Usage-based pricing on several platforms makes the monthly total hard to forecast. KVPC and compute instances are billed at a fixed monthly price per unit, independent of usage, so the KASTERVO part of your bill stays the same until you change what you run.

Where KVPC Fits in a Multi-Cloud Setup

KVPC is infrastructure as a service: a private network, an edge firewall and compute instances. It doesn't replicate the managed platform services of larger clouds. It's a place to run Linux and Windows Server workloads where VLANs, firewall rules and VPN connections come with every KVPC.

What Runs on the KASTERVO Side

High-Availability Cluster

Compute instances run on a multi-node high-availability cluster in a Digital Realty Tier 3 certified data center. Failover between KASTERVO and your other providers is part of your own design, built on the VPN links and routing you control.

EU Data Residency and PCI-DSS

Data you keep on KASTERVO stays in the EU under GDPR, and KASTERVO is PCI-DSS compliant as a Level 2 service provider.

Backups with KEBS

KEBS adds Veeam-based backups from an official Veeam Cloud & Service Provider partner. It's billed separately from KVPC and compute instances.

In Practice

Tunnels to Other Providers

Run a site-to-site VPN from KVPC to each provider you use, and control what crosses each tunnel with rules on the edge firewall.
Your Own Addressing

You define the subnets and routing, so you can pick address ranges that don't overlap with your networks elsewhere.
VLAN IDs You Choose

Separate workloads into VLANs and number them to match the rest of your network.
Compute Billed per Unit

Each compute instance is billed per GB of RAM, per CPU core and per GB of high-availability flash storage.
Rates Fixed for the Term

Three-year plans keep the same rate for the full term. One-year and pay-as-you-go plans are also available.
