Open-source cloud infrastructure and SDN platform for data centers
Whitestack builds cloud and software-defined networking infrastructure using open-source components (OpenStack, Kubernetes, Ceph) to eliminate vendor lock-in for enterprise data centers. The engineering-led hiring surge—49 of 92 open roles—paired with active GitOps and Kubernetes adoption, reflects a shift toward containerized, automated deployments. Recurring pain points around data-center stability and SLA compliance indicate the company is solving for mission-critical reliability rather than greenfield adoption.
Whitestack provides cloud infrastructure, software-defined networking (SDN), and network function virtualization (NFV) solutions built on open technologies. The platform enables organizations to deploy private or public clouds and automated networking without vendor lock-in, using foundational tools like OpenStack, Ceph, and Kubernetes. The company serves mid-market and enterprise customers operating data centers and cloud environments where stability and compliance are non-negotiable. Operations and support teams (26 roles combined) underscore focus on customer deployments and ongoing service quality.
OpenStack, Kubernetes, Ceph, and Linux form the core. The stack also includes KVM, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, and Helm for infrastructure automation and orchestration.
Current focus areas include Kubernetes cluster management, GitOps automation workflows, cloud infrastructure deployments using Ceph and OpenStack, and monitoring solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch) for data-center reliability.
