CloudPlatform is powered by Apache CloudStack, a community led open-source project backed by thousands of community members and hundreds of partners.

Industry-standard APIs compatible with Apache CloudStack as well as Amazon AWS APIs enable CloudPlatform-powered clouds to interface with third-party solutions and back-office infrastructure.

CloudPlatform integrates easily with technologies from a rich partner ecosystem to create differentiated services.

CloudPlatform complements the open source CloudStack platform with Citrix support services, Subscription Advantage and other enterprise features.

With support for leading commercial hypervisors such as Citrix XenServer, VMware® vSphere® and Oracle® VM (OVM), as well as community-supported Xen® and KVM hypervisors, CloudPlatform frees customers from vendor lock-in for complete freedom of choice.

CloudPlatform orchestrates over both block and object storage regardless of the underlying storage technologies and protocols.

CloudPlatform offers built-in support for DHCP, NAT, Gateway, VPN, Firewall, Port Forwarding, VLAN, Elastic IP, routers and load balancers, as well as any OpenFlow-compatible virtual switch.

Enterprises and service providers gain on-demand access to datacenter resources such as compute, network and storage with scalability proven up to 40,000 hosts across geographically dispersed datacenters—all managed through a single plane of glass.

Citrix NetScaler enhances CloudPlatform with AutoScale technology that automatically expands and contracts your cloud to keep pace with changing business needs.

CloudPlatform offers APIs that enable third-party business and operations support solutions to provide functionalities such as account management, self-service portal, billing and metering, and CRM and support ticketing.

Business and operations support features are available at both individual as well as project levels.

CloudPlatform lets you manage tens of thousands of geographically distributed servers through a linearly scalable, centralized management server that eliminates the need for intermediate cluster-level management servers.

No single component failure can cause a cluster-wide or cloud-wide outage, enabling downtime-free management server maintenance and reducing the workload of managing a large-scale cloud deployment.

A feature-rich, AJAX-based user interface implemented on top of the CloudStack API simplifies management and integrates easily with your existing portal for seamless administration. A real-time view of aggregated storage, IP pools, CPU, memory and other resources in use gives you better visibility and control over your cloud. CloudPlatform also allows management via command line or the RESTful API.
