How We Build Your Infrastructure

Open-source technologies that deliver enterprise-grade performance, reliability, and scalability — without vendor lock-in.

Our Technology Stack

Skadi's infrastructure is built on a powerful foundation of proven open-source technologies that form the backbone of modern cloud computing. We combine Proxmox for virtualization, CEPH for distributed storage, and container technology to create a robust, scalable, and cost-effective platform.

Proxmox Virtual Environment

Enterprise-grade virtualization platform that integrates KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC) on a single platform. Proxmox VE provides:

  • Complete server management with intuitive web-based interface
  • High availability clustering for mission-critical workloads
  • Live migration between nodes without service interruption
  • Integrated disaster recovery and backup tools
  • Software-defined networking capabilities
  • Role-based access control and auditing

This allows us to virtualize both Windows and Linux workloads with maximum flexibility while optimizing resource utilization and reducing infrastructure costs by up to 70% compared to proprietary solutions.

CEPH Distributed Storage

Unified, software-defined storage system that provides object, block, and file storage from a single cluster built on commodity hardware.

  • Massive scalability - grows from terabytes to exabytes seamlessly
  • Self-healing architecture with automatic data replication and recovery
  • No single points of failure with advanced CRUSH algorithm
  • High performance with tailored configurations for different workloads
  • Cost-effective using standard hardware components
  • Data integrity through checksumming and scrubbing

CEPH ensures your data remains highly available, reliable, and performant regardless of infrastructure scale or location.

Container Technology

Lightweight, portable application packaging using Docker and container orchestration for modern application deployment.

  • Standardized units for consistent development, shipment, and deployment
  • Isolated environments that run identically across all infrastructure
  • Resource efficiency through shared OS kernel and minimal overhead
  • Enhanced security with strong isolation capabilities and minimal attack surface
  • Rapid deployment and scaling of microservices architecture
  • Version control and rollback capabilities for applications

Containers enable us to deploy applications quickly, reliably, and with consistent behavior from development through production, reducing deployment times from days to minutes.
