About

We built it for
ourselves first.

Oasis Stack is CloudHost’s platform initiative. CloudHost runs YallaCloud, its own public cloud, on it in production — the same portals, catalogue, billing, operations and governance any operator would run. We are not a software company selling to cloud operators. We are an operator who built the platform we needed.

An operator, not a vendor
We run a cloud on this platform. Every claim on this site is one we live with.
Built where it is needed
For the Middle East and Gulf first, where the sovereignty question is not theoretical.
The customer stays yours
We designed ourselves out of the relationship between an operator and their customer.
Fees, not a share
We do not take a percentage of what our partners build.
Why we exist

The industry settled on one assumption: that a real cloud takes capital only a handful of global companies can raise. Every offer that followed is the same trade — you can have a cloud that works, or a cloud that’s yours.

We believe sovereignty should not cost you scale.

A cloud can be wholly owned, wholly governed and wholly yours, and still have the depth, the reach and the economics of a global one. Not by becoming a hyperscaler — by connecting to other clouds that made the same choice. That is the whole reason this company exists, and every decision below follows from it.

How we work

Four decisions that cost us something.

A belief is only credible if it shows up where it is expensive. Each of these is visible elsewhere on this site — they are not aspirations.

The operator owns the customer
We gave away the most valuable asset in the business model. Your customers, your pricing, your margins, your invoice — we take no share of them. CloudHost sits in the invoice chain only for a federated purchase: the delivering partner invoices CloudHost, and CloudHost invoices you.
A flat fee, not a cut of growth
We declined the revenue model that would have made us a tax on our partners’ success. Federation is a flat participation fee.
We take our own medicine
CloudHost runs its public cloud on this platform. When something is wrong with it, it is wrong for us too.
We claim only what we can show
No invented metrics, no borrowed logos, and no certification asserted that an operator has not actually earned.
Where it started

One question started Oasis Stack.

It was a question created by our own expansion, and the answer had to work for CloudHost, for partners and for clouds built around a single industry.

“How do we turn distributed infrastructure, partners and jurisdictions into one cloud operating experience?”
Nikhil Katara, Co-Founder & COO, CloudHost Technology

What execution taught us. Building the technology was only half the job. The biggest lesson was that a cloud platform cannot stop at the hypervisor: the customer experiences the whole operating system around the infrastructure. Five principles came out of it, and they still guide how Oasis Stack is designed and deployed.

Sovereignty is architectural
Location matters, but control, identity, policy and operations complete the model.
Operations must be a product
Provisioning, monitoring, support, governance and billing have to work together.
Federation needs commerce
Partners need margins, catalogues and customer ownership, not only APIs.
Standardise the platform
Not the customer. Different markets consume the same foundation in different ways.
Ecosystems grow by taking part
Operators, ISVs and service partners expand what the infrastructure can become.
The company behind it

A company that has run cloud for a decade.

Oasis Stack is new. The operation behind it is not.

Built in the UAE

From service provider to platform.

CloudHost Technology grew up in the UAE running cloud for its customers, then built the platform it needed to run its own.

What we are building

Not one cloud. A federation of them.

A single sovereign cloud solves one country’s problem and inherits a new one: it is alone, so its catalogue is only what it can build itself. The thing worth building is the layer between independently owned clouds — the Oasis Federation Core, which carries only the financial and contractual transactions that let them trade services without any of them giving up what makes them sovereign.

How the federation model works
Operators first
The people closest to a market should own the cloud that serves it.
Connected by agreement
Never by default. Nothing crosses a boundary that the operator has not published.
Regional, then wider
The Middle East and Gulf first, because that is where we operate and are held to account.
Open where it counts
Above any infrastructure, integrating what you run rather than replacing it.
The particulars

The rest arrives with the paperwork.

Entity details, registrations, insurances and the compliance pack belong to a deal, not a web page. They come out when there is something to sign.

What you get at NDA
Registered entity and jurisdiction, the compliance pack, reference architectures, and the commercial terms behind a quote — with a named person on the other side of them.
What you get on this site
Everything you need to decide whether the conversation is worth having: how the platform works, what it enforces, how it is priced, and the one cloud we run on it ourselves.
