From legacy to public,
manage every cloud on one platform
CloudV is a cloud management platform (CMP) with an agile, efficient self-service provisioning engine. It rapidly deploys on-premises private clouds, centralizes public cloud management, and handles Kubernetes cluster deployment and automation on a single platform.
Six Problems That Grow with Every Cloud
As virtualization, private cloud and public cloud mix, management tools and operating practices diverge.
| Challenges in the Field | The CloudV Answer |
|---|---|
| Each cloud has its own management tool | Manage legacy, private, public, hybrid and multi-cloud environments on one platform and standardize operations. |
| Management tools are tied to a specific virtualization product | Supports multiple hypervisors and private clouds, including VMware, Nutanix and Microsoft. |
| Public cloud management and billing tools run separately | Manage global and Korean public clouds together, and see costs in one place with Chargeback, including detailed reports, comparisons and recommendations. |
| Container environments require separate development | Native support for Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes makes Kubernetes clusters easy to build. |
| Getting a single resource requires manual request and approval | Users request resources through self-service, and automated workflows run across every cloud. |
| Every new feature requires custom development or a separate product purchase | Pre-integrated with most tools, including Jenkins and GitHub, with new features added through regular Major and Minor upgrades. |
The Entire Cloud Management Scope on One Platform
Gartner's cloud management toolkit divides cloud management into eight essential functional areas. Organizations need a CMP that covers all of them to properly manage multi-cloud services and resources across private and public clouds.
Covers all 8 management areas
A CMP that covers all eight areas of Gartner's management toolkit, from service requests to packaging and delivery.
Move Faster with Self-Service
Self-service capabilities increase business agility and shorten time to value.
Standardize Operations
Delivers public cloud hyperscaler-level capabilities to on-premises private clouds and standardizes operations.
Unify Governance
Unified governance models reduce operational complexity.
Automate Across Every Cloud
Run the same automated workflows on any cloud.
Eight Areas of Cloud Management
Covers all eight essential functional areas, spanning governance, lifecycle management, brokerage and automation, on one platform.
- Service RequestService RequestUsers request the resources and services they need through self-service.
- Provisioning & OrchestrationProvisioning · OrchestrationDeploys private cloud, public cloud and container environments and runs automated workflows.
- Cost Management & Resource OptimisationCost Management · Resource OptimizationManage costs with Chargeback, including detailed reports, comparisons and recommendations.
- Cloud Migration, Backup and DRMigration · Backup · Disaster RecoveryIntegrates with data protection products such as Veeam, Commvault and Zerto.
- Identity, Security & ComplianceIdentity · Security · ComplianceIntegrates with Active Directory, Okta and SAML, and unifies governance models.
- Inventory & ClassificationInventory · ClassificationMaintains a real-time environment inventory and discovers and updates changed systems.
- Monitoring & AnalyticsMonitoring · AnalyticsProvides detailed job reporting and uptime management, and integrates with monitoring and logging tools.
- Packaging & DeliveryPackaging · DeliveryIntegrates with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub and Packer to carry through to application deployment.

Packaged CMP vs. Custom-Developed CMP
CloudV is a solution-type CMP built on a proven CMP engine. Here it is compared with development-type CMPs, which meet each requirement through custom development.
| Item | Packaged CMP · CloudV | Custom-Developed CMP |
|---|---|---|
| License | Priced by number of instances | Varies by vendor |
| Virtualization · Private Cloud | Fully supported | Single virtualization product (VMware or OpenStack) |
| Public Cloud | Global and Korean Public Cloud Support | Limited support; operations split between management and billing tools |
| Containers | Native support for Docker · Swarm · Kubernetes | Not supported; requires custom development |
| Chargeback | Detailed reports · Comparisons · Recommendations, fully documented API for custom data extraction | Partially supported (MSP-provided CMPs require separate tool purchases) |
| Governance | Real-time environment inventory · Discovery and update of changed systems · Detailed job reporting · Multi-tenancy · Uptime management | Partially supported |
| DevOps | Jenkins · GitHub integration, supports most applications | Requires purchasing 3rd party products |
| Upgrades | Regular major and minor upgrade patches | Custom development required on request |
