One platform, four ways to buy it.
Start with the network. Add virtual machines and storage as they ship, or take the whole suite. Each product has its own page with exactly what it does today.

Stratum Suite
Fabric, Compute and Storage together, with one installer and one interface for every server.
Fig.02 — Who it is for
Built for people who sell infrastructure.
Hosting and VPS providers
Dedicated servers with a single uplink and extra addresses that your upstream provider routes to you.
- Give every customer a private network that other customers cannot reach.
- Hand out public or private addresses, with NAT and port forwarding at the edge.
- Sell bandwidth plans that are enforced on the node, not on trust.
- Stop customers from borrowing each other’s IP or MAC addresses.
Regional and sovereign cloud providers
Your own cloud, in your own data centre and jurisdiction, on hardware you control.
- Workloads and their data stay on your servers.
- BGP and overlay networks for sites with more than one node; gateway failover is coming with the multi-server release.
- Operate everything from one command line and API.
- Virtual machines and storage are being built on the same platform.
Fig.03 — How it fits
Fabric on every node. Everything else on top.
Fabric is the network layer and runs on every server. Compute and Storage are being built to sit on top of it, so every virtual machine and every volume will inherit the same isolation and bandwidth rules. Suite will bring all of it together, with one interface for every server.
Fig.04 — Getting started
Licence, install, run.
Three steps, in the order they really happen. The installer needs your licence key, so the licence comes first.
-
Order a licence
Choose a plan and a number of nodes, pay using the instructions shown at checkout, and send us the payment reference. We issue your licence once the payment is verified.
-
Install on each server
One command, with your licence key. The installer checks your kernel before it changes anything, then sets Stratum up as a system service.
printf 'X-License-Key: %s\n' "$KEY" \ | curl -sSL -H @- https://www.stratum.cenvero.com/install | sudo bash -
Run your network
Create tenant networks, firewall rules, NAT and bandwidth plans from the command line or the API.
sudo cenvero-str-ctl network create \ --name app-net --cidr 10.20.0.0/24
// One command installs Fabric today; Compute and Storage will join the same installer when they ship.
Fig.05 — Promises
Two things we will not do.
If your licence expires, your network keeps running. You lose management, not connectivity.
Your tenants’ traffic and data never pass through us. Nodes contact us only to register and activate, to check their licence, and to fetch updates, certificates, their signed configuration and the plugins you choose.
Licensed per node, per month.
Fabric plans are on sale now, from $39 per node per month, with a free non-commercial Lab plan. Compute and Storage are not on sale yet.
