Greenqloud is acloud computing software company with headquarters inReykjavik,Iceland, and office inSeattle,Washington, offering cloud computing software and services. Greenqloud develops and sells the cloud andinfrastructure management softwareQstack for the global market.
Founded in 2010, the company initially sold public cloud computing services, such as web hosting and data storage, marketed asinfrastructure as a service (IaaS), powered bydata centers using100% renewable energy in Iceland. Most hosting companies buycarbon offset credits as agreen marketing measure,[3] and host data at multiple data centers on different continents as the solution for international sites.
Early on, Greenqloud began building upon the software startupcloud.com,[4] which later becameApache CloudStack.[5] When Jonsi Stefansson joined as CEO in 2014 the company was pivoted to a pure software company with 100% focus on building and developing the cloud management platform Qstack. In 2015 the company releasedQstack, to be deployed on private and hybrid environments.[6]
In 2016, Qstack already supported leading hypervisors, includingVMware,KVM andHyper-V andbare metal provisioning. In early 2017, Qstack will add container-based Application Orchestration support with an integratedKubernetes server, allowing its users the ability deploymicroservices and workloads on scalable clusters.[7]
In 2017, GreenQloud was acquired by NetApp.[8]
