Move it, protect it, then pay less for it

Hystax Platform handles the workloads themselves. OptScale handles what they cost — and now, what your AI usage costs too.

Any-to-any

Hystax Platform

Live Cloud Migration

VMware to any KVM platform

Migrate all types of workloads between any cloud platforms, including VMware to any KVM platform, quickly, effortlessly, and securely. Hystax Platform provides a fully automated migration process, with consistent background replication and instant workload launch on the target site.

  • Live replication. Background replication of business applications, machine data, and metadata with network traffic compression and deduplication during transfer.
  • Every target platform. Any OpenStack, oVirt, KubeVirt, Virtuozzo, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift, CloudSigma, CloudStack, OpenNebula, KVM, VMware, and the major public clouds.
  • Test, then cut over. An unlimited number of test migrations in an isolated VPC, with an orchestrated launch and a short, predictable cutover window.
  • Direct2Target. Migrates VMs without depending on target platform APIs, removing a common blocker in restricted and non-standard environments.

Runs fully isolated inside your own environment — no dependency on Hystax infrastructure.

Low RPO / RTO

Hystax Platform

Disaster Recovery & Cloud Backup

Business continuity without data loss

Agentless, fully automated disaster recovery and cloud backup for every private and public cloud, with low RPO and RTO values and no data loss. Replicate production workloads continuously and recover or fail back on your own schedule.

  • Agentless replication. Consistent background replication of all production workloads, physical or virtual, to a DR site or cloud of your choice.
  • Instant recovery. Boot devices directly from cloud-native snapshots — no disk preparation or data copying — then fail back to production in minutes.
  • Ransomware protection. Detects abnormal replication behaviour and protects restore points from compromise, alongside hot and cold storage tiers with long-term retention.
  • Double Storage. Combines object and block storage for backup data — cost-efficient long-term retention together with instant infrastructure recovery.

Deploys to any public or private cloud or on-premises site, and runs as multi-tenant DRaaS through a white-label partner portal.

OptScale

FinOps & Cloud Cost Management

34% average cloud cost savings

An open and transparent FinOps platform for cloud and Kubernetes cost visibility, optimisation, and forecasting. OptScale gives every team an owner, a budget, and the recommendations needed to act — which is why engineers actually take part in cost savings.

  • Wastage detection. Finds underutilised and idle resources, then recommends rightsizing, autoscaling, and cheaper regions or discounts.
  • Kubernetes FinOps. Cost allocation across clusters, namespaces, and pods in multi-cloud Kubernetes environments, with budget and TTL constraints.
  • Observability. Cloud health, price, performance, and application metrics in one dashboard, with alerts on anomalies and bottlenecks.
  • Open and auditable. 100% open source on GitHub, with Linux Foundation membership and seamless integration with existing billing systems.

Available as SaaS or deployed in your own environment, including for MSPs and CSPs through a white-label portal.

OptScale AI

AI Governance

Govern every AI prompt and agent

Extends OptScale from cloud spend into AI usage: one place to control cost, security, observability, and agent behaviour across local and public LLMs. Instead of adding another AI framework, it governs the LLMs, prompts, and autonomous agents already running in your business.

  • AI Gateway. Routes requests between local and public LLMs to cut AI spend — up to 40% lower AI-related costs in early testing.
  • Security and guardrails. Content filtering, PII protection, and data loss prevention policies applied consistently across every model call.
  • Analytics and tracing. Usage, performance, latency, and cost per team, model, or agent, with audit-ready request logs.
  • AI agent control. Detects anomalous agent behaviour and blocks unauthorised access or runaway execution before it becomes an incident.

SaaS or on-premises, with a free tier for small teams and enterprise pricing for larger deployments.

Supported platforms

Live migration can start from any source — a cloud platform or a physical machine — and land on any of these targets. Disaster recovery and backup use the same platform list.

Fully automated

Replication, orchestration, testing, and cutover run without manual steps, so projects shrink from months to weeks.

Fail-safe

Unlimited test migrations and a fully managed cutover keep the final move predictable and reversible.

Runs in your environment

Fully isolated deployment with no dependency on vendor resources, so data and control stay with you.
