How Fibernetics Built a Self-Service Public Cloud in Canada with StackOrbit
Canadian telecom provider Fibernetics deployed a public cloud platform powered by Apache CloudStack and StackOrbit CMP to launch scalable self-service infrastructure services with integrated Kubernetes support.
Customer Overview
Fibernetics is a globally recognized Canadian telecommunications company providing innovative communication technologies and services for over two decades.
The company delivers advanced telecom and cloud solutions to businesses and consumers across Canada, focusing on reliability, scalability, and next-generation infrastructure services.
Business Objective
Fibernetics aimed to launch a self-service public cloud platform within Canada powered by open technologies.
Using Apache CloudStack and StackOrbit CMP, the organization planned to provide scalable infrastructure services for virtual machines, container workloads, and Kubernetes-based development environments.
The Challenge
Infrastructure Challenge
Needed an experienced cloud operations team capable of designing and managing a production public cloud platform.
Operational Challenge
Limited in-house experience operating large-scale public cloud environments required external expertise.
Business Challenge
Commercial HCI platforms introduced high licensing costs and vendor lock-in, reducing profitability when scaling cloud infrastructure.
StackOrbit Solution
StackOrbit deployed a fully operational public cloud platform combining Apache CloudStack orchestration with billing automation, monitoring, and cloud marketplace capabilities.
StackBill
Cloud billing and monetization platform enabling automated infrastructure services.
StackWatch
Advanced monitoring platform providing infrastructure visibility and operational insights.
Cloud Marketplace
Custom OS images and applications with license management and one-click deployment.
StackOps
24/7 operational management and support for Apache CloudStack infrastructure.
Kubernetes Integration
Container-based developer cloud environments powered by Kubernetes.
Apache CloudStack
Open cloud orchestration platform powering the public cloud infrastructure.
Dev Cloud & Kubernetes Platform
To support modern application development, Fibernetics introduced a developer-focused cloud platform powered by Apache CloudStack's integrated Kubernetes capabilities. This enabled developers to deploy both virtual machines and container workloads through a single unified self-service portal.
Kubernetes as a Service
Developers can deploy managed Kubernetes clusters directly from the cloud portal without manual infrastructure configuration.
Unified VM & Container Platform
CloudStack allows teams to run traditional VM workloads alongside containerized applications on the same infrastructure.
Developer Self-Service
Developers can provision compute, storage, and Kubernetes clusters instantly using StackOrbit's automated provisioning platform.
Scalable Dev Infrastructure
The platform enables scalable dev/test environments for CI/CD pipelines and modern cloud-native application development.
Integrated Cloud Billing
StackBill automatically tracks usage for developer workloads including VMs, storage, and Kubernetes resources.
Marketplace Applications
Preconfigured OS images, developer tools, and application stacks can be deployed with one-click from the cloud marketplace.
