pCloud Business is a cloud storage and file synchronization platform designed for teams that need controlled access, cross-platform compatibility, and predictable storage allocation. It provides centralized file management with granular permissions and optional client-side encryption.
Founded in 2013 in Switzerland, pCloud operates under EU-aligned privacy standards and offers data residency in Luxembourg (EU) and Dallas, Texas (US). The platform supports over 23 million users globally.
Core Functionality :
- Per-User Storage Allocation : 1 TB or 2 TB per user, suitable for small to mid-sized teams and distributed environments.
- Virtual File System (pCloud Drive) : Mounts as a local drive on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Files are streamed on demand, reducing local disk usage.
- File Sync & Sharing : Folder-level sync, link-based sharing, and permission control (view/edit/manage). Supports password-protected and time-limited links.
- Admin & Access Control : Centralized user management, role assignment, and storage distribution via admin console.
- Versioning & File History : File versioning with up to 180 days retention, enabling rollback and recovery.
- Cross-Platform Support : Native clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, plus web interface.
- Client-Side Encryption (Optional) : Zero-knowledge encryption via pCloud Encryption for sensitive data; encryption keys are not stored server-side.
Technical Positioning:
- Swiss jurisdiction; GDPR-aligned processing
- No file size limits
- Works without mandatory ecosystem lock-in (no bundled office suite required)
- Compatible with heterogeneous environments (Linux included)
Trial : 30-day free trial available for up to 10 users.

OpenMetal delivers hosted private cloud and bare metal infrastructure for organizations that have outgrown public cloud pricing or need more control than a hyperscaler will give them.
Built on OpenStack and Ceph, our platform gives you a fully managed private cloud without the cost and complexity of building your own from the ground up. You get dedicated hardware, root-level access, and a transparent fixed-cost model so your infrastructure bill stays predictable as your workloads grow.
Need bare metal without the private cloud overhead? Our dedicated bare metal servers deploy in minutes and can run standalone or integrate directly with an OpenMetal private cloud. Same fixed pricing, same dedicated hardware, no shared resources.
OpenMetal is built for engineering teams, DevOps, and infrastructure leads who are done deciphering complex cloud bills and being financially punished for their growth.

AWS CloudFormation
AWS CloudFormation is a powerful tool for provisioning and managing infrastructure, enabling users to create resource templates that outline a collection of AWS resources for deployment. These templates facilitate version control of your infrastructure and allow for quick, repeatable replication of your stacks. You can easily define components like an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnet or manage services such as AWS OpsWorks or Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) without hassle. Whether you need to run a single Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance or a sophisticated multi-region application, CloudFormation supports your needs. With features that allow for automation, testing, and deployment of infrastructure templates through continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) processes, it streamlines your cloud operations. Furthermore, by treating infrastructure as code, AWS CloudFormation enhances the modeling, provisioning, and management of both AWS and third-party resources. This approach not only accelerates the cloud provisioning process but also promotes consistency and reliability across deployments.

Prevent misconfigurations rather than halting deployments through automated policy enforcement for Infrastructure as Code. Implement policies designed to avert misconfigurations across platforms like Kubernetes, Terraform, and CloudFormation, thereby ensuring application stability with automated testing for policy infringements or potential issues that could disrupt services or negatively impact performance. Transition to cloud-native infrastructure with reduced risk by utilizing pre-defined policies, or tailor your own to fulfill unique needs. Concentrate on enhancing your applications instead of getting bogged down by infrastructure management by enforcing standard policies applicable to various infrastructure orchestrators. Streamline the process by removing the necessity for manual code reviews for infrastructure-as-code adjustments, as checks are automatically conducted with each pull request. Maintain your current DevOps practices with a policy enforcement system that harmonizes effortlessly with your existing source control and CI/CD frameworks, allowing for a more efficient and responsive development cycle. This approach not only enhances productivity but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement and reliability in software deployment.
