Architecture · Platform layers

Seven layers.
One operating model.

From the infrastructure you already own to the ecosystem around it. Each layer has a job, a set of capabilities and a boundary with the layer above and below.

What lives in each layer.

Listed from the market down to the metal, the way the platform stacks.

07
Ecosystem
The market around the cloud, and the clouds around it.
The layer that turns a cloud into a market: partners publish, customers discover, and clouds trade services with each other by agreement.
Partners

Technology Alliances
Federation
Shared Services
06
Experience
Seamless experiences for customers, partners and operators.
Every audience gets its own front door onto the same platform — customers, partners, operators and administrators, plus the APIs behind them.
Customer Portal
Partner Portal
Operations
Administration
Developer APIs
05
Commercial
From opportunity to revenue, built for the cloud economy.
The cloud business, not just the cloud: the path from a first estimate to a settled invoice runs inside the platform.
Onboarding

Quoting (CPQ)
Contracts

04
Cloud Services
A comprehensive portfolio of cloud and platform services.
What customers actually order. Each service is catalogued, priced, provisioned, metered and governed the same way.

Operations
Intelligent operations for performance and reliability.
How the cloud is run day to day, with Amin watching health, capacity and cost across every zone.

Governance
Control, compliance and trust by design.
Who can do what, and the proof of it. Policy is enforced before provisioning and evidenced continuously.

Where the modules sit

Layers are the anatomy. Modules are how you buy it.

The seven layers describe what the platform does. The seven modules are how it is packaged: Oasis Core spans experience, commercial and operations and holds the tenancy; Cloud Foundation delivers the cloud services layer; Infrastructure for AI adds GPU and AI services to it; Governance, Security & Compliance covers policy and evidence across every layer; Digital Transformation lands modernisation work on the platform; and CloudSouq is the ecosystem layer’s storefront.

The modules
Oasis Core
Experience, commercial, operations and tenancy — the administration module and the federation link.
Cloud Foundation
The cloud services layer: compute, storage, network, Kubernetes, databases and backup.
Governance, Security & Compliance
The governance layer, applied across every service and evidenced continuously.
CloudSouq
The ecosystem layer’s marketplace: partner services and ISV listings, white-labelled per operator.
Infrastructure for AI
GPU and AI services, added to the cloud services layer.
Digital Transformation
Modernisation, automation and workspaces, landed on the cloud services layer.
Oasis Multi-Cloud
Public clouds, managed in the same platform from the infrastructure layer.

Amin and Noura work across every layer. Each module is explained on its own Platform page.

The modules
The contract between layers

What each layer guarantees to the one above it.

Layers are only useful if the boundary between them holds. Each one presents a contract upward and depends on a contract below — which is what lets a technology change without the layers above it noticing.

Ecosystem
depends on
Commercial, for settlement, and Experience, for the storefront. It cannot exist without a catalogue that is already priced and billable.
Experience
guarantees
One identity and one tenancy view across every audience. It depends on Governance for who may see what.
Commercial
guarantees
That anything in the catalogue can be quoted, contracted, metered and invoiced. It depends on Operations telling it what was actually consumed.
Cloud Services
guarantees
That a catalogue item can be provisioned and measured. It depends on Infrastructure exposing capacity it can claim.
Operations
guarantees
That a provisioned thing stays healthy and its usage is recorded. It depends on Governance for what it is permitted to do automatically.
Governance
guarantees
That policy is evaluated before an action, and that the action leaves a record. It depends on Identity being authoritative.
Infrastructure
guarantees
Capacity, and an API to claim it. It guarantees nothing about how that capacity is sold — which is the point of the six layers above it.
Who builds what

Built in-house. Extended with alliances.

Five of the seven layers are the platform itself. Alliances supply the infrastructure beneath, the technology inside cloud services, and applications in the marketplace.

Built in-house
  • Experience: the portals and APIs every user works through
  • Commercial: catalogue, pricing, metering and billing
  • Operations: provisioning, monitoring and the lifecycle
  • Governance: identity, policy and the audit trail
  • Ecosystem: CloudSouq and the federation link
Built with alliances
  • Infrastructure: compute, storage and network from technology alliances
  • Cloud services: built on open-source and alliance technology, published through the in-house catalogue
  • Applications and connectors in the ecosystem, from marketplace and integration alliances
How alliances join
One platform. The entire cloud lifecycle.
