On-Prem Cloud Platform guides
On-Prem Cloud Platform (OPCP) is a comprehensive solution for deploying, automating and maintaining on-premises cloud environments. It brings cloud capabilities directly to your own locations — on site, at the edge or in isolated environments — and can operate in a fully independent, disconnected mode, helping you meet your sovereignty and compliance requirements while keeping full control of your data.
The platform is built from two layers, each covered by these guides:
- OPCP Core automates infrastructure management (node discovery, network configuration, resource allocation) with built-in traceability, security and observability.
- Cloud Store (optional) lets you deploy pre-configured services — virtualisation, containers, databases and more — from a local, automated catalogue. When your platform includes it, the OPCP Admin Console is your single pane of glass. Cloud Store combines two interfaces:
- the OPCP Admin Console, where IT Admins deploy services and enable them for Organizations;
- the OPCP Cloud Console, which gives your teams a dedicated, isolated space to deploy and manage their workloads, with fine-grained access control and lifecycle management.
To find the right guide for your needs:
- Are you preparing, deploying or operating your platform? See the Getting started section for prerequisites, controller installation, node and instance operations.
- Are you managing identities and permissions? See the Security section.
- Are you using Cloud Store (OPCP Admin Console or OPCP Cloud Console)? See the Cloud Store section.
