SolusIO – Simplified Virtual Infrastructure Management

SolusIO is a virtual infrastructure management solution that facilitates choice, simplicity, and performance for ISPs and enterprises. Offer blazing fast, on-demand VMs, a simple API, and an easy-to-use self-service control panel for your customers to unleash your full potential for growth. SolusIO can allow the service provider, to offer a self-service platform similar to well-known virtualization services like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner Cloud, and others.

  • VIRTUALIZE – Manage virtual machines from one central point.
  • CREATE – Setup your configuration using cloud-init and deployment tools.
  • DEPLOY – Deploy and speed up your projects in a matter of seconds.
  • SCALE – Scale your infrastructure with our simple and intuitive API.

You, as the administrator, can use SolusIO in two ways:

  • Sell servers and their management software (SolusIO customer interface) to end customers.
  • Deploy and manage servers internally, within your organization.

All you need is the server infrastructure: the management server and the hypervisors. Install SolusIO on the management server and enjoy the following features:

  • Intuitive, visually appealing, and customizable interface (create your own frontend styles and operating system templates)
  • KVM virtualization
  • A choice of operating systems: CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Windows.
  • Ability to add your own OS images that can contain any OS (apart from those mentioned above) unless the image uses Cloud-Init or CloudBase-Init
  • Integration using a full-featured RESTful API: all features available in the graphical user interface are also available via the RESTful API
  • The RESTful API documentation comes together with SolusIO and is available for end customers
  • Integration with popular billing systems (WHMCS, Blesta, Hostbill, and others)
  • Hourly billing system
  • Data protection: your server infrastructure is automatically secured with a free SSL/TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
  • Snapshots
  • Configurable balancing (for new servers deployed within the same location and for storage spaces used as servers’ disks)
  • Scalable storage management. To avoid “single point of failure”, you can add multiple separate storage points instead of a single big one.
