Why the q.beyond Private Cloud becomes the strategic foundation of your IT

The q.beyond Private Cloud is a fully managed private cloud platform for business-critical workloads. It combines compute, storage, networking, security, and management in a unified, highly automated platform approach – with clear standards, defined operational processes, and end-to-end governance.

Technologically, the q.beyond Private Cloud is based on the integrated enterprise platform stack VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). This foundation enables us to provide a stable, scalable, and long-term supported platform, while we handle the planning, operation, and further development for you.

Your advantages at a glance

  • Reduce complexity through a consolidated platform: Instead of historically grown individual environments, you operate a consolidated platform with clear standards - we take care of lifecycle, patching and platform operation.

  • Uniform operating model across all locations: Whether in your own data center, in the colocation model or in sovereign cloud environments: The q.beyond Private Cloud follows the same architectural, security and operational principles everywhere.

  • Classic and modern workloads on one platform: Virtual machines and container-based applications (Kubernetes) are operated together – with consistent automation, security and monitoring.

  • Integrated security, governance and compliance: Central guidelines, role and authorisation concepts, comprehensive logging and documented, auditable operational processes support regulatory requirements from the outset.

  • Transparently manage costs, resources and usage: Through platform consolidation, standardisede-services and continuous Optimisation , you keep track of license, operating and infrastructure costs at all times.

In short:

The q.beyond Private Cloud modernizes and consolidates your existing infrastructure with VMware Cloud Foundation as a stable and powerful base.

From platform to operation – our VCF portfolio

Virtual data centers

Self-service private cloud for your team

Your virtual data center is a resource pool of CPU, RAM, storage, and network – with clearly defined quotas and the flexibility you expect from the cloud. Ideal when servers need to be deployed independently while still maintaining governance and security standards.

  • Deploy, start, stop, and delete servers independently
  • Custom network design, delegation/separation within the customer
  • API integration into CI/CD and DevOps processes
  • Scalability without new hardware projects

Virtual servers (vServers)

Fast, simple, ready to use

If you simply need individual servers for a specific application, we provide virtual servers with a pre-configured operating system (Linux/Windows). Ideal for application-driven requirements – without platform overhead.

  • Pre-built OS templates, fast deployment
  • Clear size models (“T-Shirt Sizes”)
  • Optional: Managed Services (Patching/Monitoring/Backup)

Kubernetes

Running Kubernetes productively – with governance and operational reliability

Kubernetes is not just a cluster, but an operating model. We integrate Kubernetes into identity, networking, security, monitoring, and processes – ensuring it remains scalable and auditable even in enterprise environments.

  • Standardised e Cluster Blueprints & Lifecycle
  • Integration into CI/CD, DevOps and security controls
  • Platform services for teams (self-service instead of ticket ping-pong)

Emergency Data Center

Disaster Recovery: testable, orchestrated, auditable

With DRaaS based on your VMware/VCF landscape, we replicate workloads to a second data center – including automated failover/failback scenarios and regular DR tests.

  • Replication & orchestrated recovery plans
  • Regular tests with documented results
  • Suitable for critical applications and regulatory requirements

Network integration & secure network

Securely connected – also to your existing networks

We seamlessly integrate your VCF/VMware environment into your network architecture: from VPN over the internet to integration into existing provider networks (e.g., Telekom/Vodafone – depending on the project). The result: stable, secure connectivity without any architectural disruption.

  • Secure site connection (VPN / direct connection)
  • Integration into existing WAN/provider setups
  • Segmentation & Policies for Regulated Workloads

Consulting

From licensing issues to target architecture

Whether it's renewal, platform strategy or migration planning: We bring structure to decisions, create scenarios (costs, risk, compliance) and provide support until implementation – without buzzword strategy, but with a reliable plan.

Looking for a new VMware partner?


Your advantage with a VMware Pinnacle partner

As a VMware Pinnacle Partner, we belong to the highest partner tier in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program.

FAQ about q.beyond Private Cloud and VMware Cloud Foundation

Bundling, metrics, and procurement channels are particularly relevant. Crucially, it depends on which functions you actually use and what your host/cluster structure looks like. We develop scenarios and derive a robust renewal and platform strategy from them.

We are a Pinnacle-level VMware Cloud Service Provider and will remain so in the future. This demonstrates our strong foundation with VMware and ensures a continued strong focus on VMware Cloud Foundation in its entirety as a true alternative to public clouds/hyperscalers.

Absolutely! You don't need your own hardware; instead, you use shared hardware, reliably isolated from other customers by various VMware Cloud Foundation technologies. Despite this, you still get full Standardisation , automation, governance, and compliance. In our readiness workshop, we quickly determine which setup is the right fit both economically and technically.

Not usually. We offer a high-performance platform with modern hardware that you can use immediately. For special requirements (edge ​​scenarios, specific hardware, dedicated hardware), we check whether existing hardware is compatible and whether its use complies with Broadcom specifications. Based on this, we provide clear recommendations.

With our own data centers and certifications , we provide a comprehensive foundation with regard to regulatory requirements such as IT baseline protection, NIS2, or DORA. We support you in setting up governance, security, and documentation in such a way that all your requirements are taken into account in design and operation.
