Enterprise Virtualization & Infrastructure Platform

 

QLayer gives businesses and service providers a modern alternative to VMware: one platform for virtual machines, storage and networking, with tenant isolation built in.

The Challenge Today

VMware licence changes have made virtualisation costly and unpredictable for mid-size estates.

Hyperscalers cost too much for steady workloads, while raw colocation gives no platform at all.

Too many consoles: managing VMs, storage and networks in separate tools adds cost and complexity.

Why QLayer?

A Real VMware Exit Path

Sized for 10–100 VM estates that want enterprise virtualisation without enterprise licence shock.

VLAN-Native Networking

Standard 802.1Q VLANs and fixed IPs as first-class citizens, so existing network designs carry straight over.

Tenant isolation in the core

Multi-tenancy is enforced at the data layer, not added later, so each customer’s resources stay separate

A Console That is Yours

A fully branded web console for VM access, so end users never see raw VNC or hypervisor tools.

Monitoring built in

Pairs with QNexus from the same team for network discovery, topology and events across the estate.

Open, Proven Foundations

KVM/libvirt, Ceph RBD shared storage and Prometheus, behind a branded web console and REST API.

Platform architecture

 

QLayer is built in layers, so each part can grow without a rewrite:

  • Access: tenant portal, admin console and REST API.
  • Control plane: scheduler, reconciliation and quotas.
  • Host agent: a portable node layer, KVM today and KubeVirt-ready.
  • Infrastructure: KVM/libvirt compute, Ceph RBD shared storage and VLAN-native 802.1Q networking.

From Core to Cloud

 

QLayer provides a common infrastructure control layer across:

On-Premises Infrastructure

Maintain control of enterprise infrastructure within your own environment.

Private Cloud

Build flexible, virtualized infrastructure designed around your organization’s workloads and governance requirements.

Hybrid Infrastructure

Connect and manage infrastructure across multiple environments while maintaining centralized operational visibility.

AI & GPU Infrastructure

Deploy and manage accelerated computing resources for AI, ML, analytics, and other compute-intensive workloads.
