Platform Overview

Run your whole estate from one console.

Infrastructure today is run from too many windows: compute in one tool, monitoring in another, security somewhere else, storage nowhere at all. Extio SkyVER collapses that sprawl into a single console — provisioning virtual machines on your own hardware while continuously watching the servers, security posture and storage behind them.

SkyVER replaces a patchwork of disconnected tools with one login, one permission model and one source of truth. It is the difference between operating infrastructure and merely reacting to it — built on an on-premise KVM and Ceph foundation, with Kubernetes as the platform layer on top.

P · 01

Unify

Compute, storage, monitoring, security and access behind a single login, one permission model, one source of truth.

P · 02

Observe

Live CPU, memory, disk, security posture and storage health for every host — without five different dashboards.

P · 03

Operate

Provision VMs, deploy Kubernetes clusters, manage firewall rules and rotate certificates — lifecycle actions where you need them.

P · 04

Govern

Role-based access, two-factor auth and a continuous audit trail. 100% on-premises — your hardware, your data, your control.

01 IaaS

KVM Cloud

Run your own cloud, on your own hardware.

SkyVER's KVM module turns owned hardware into self-service compute. Clusters are grouped by data-centre location; each cluster contains bare-metal hosts running virtual machines provisioned from a guided form — CPU, memory, OS, console and networking — with Ceph or local disks attached in the same flow. Every VM, its interfaces and its disks are one list away, with a built-in VNC console for direct access.

  • Guided VM provisioningCPU, memory, OS, console and networking chosen from a single form — no manual libvirt XML.
  • Cluster catalogEvery KVM cluster grouped by data-centre location, with hosts and status at a glance.
  • Ceph or local disksAttach Ceph RBD volumes or local disk paths to any VM, multiple disks per machine.
  • Built-in consoleVNC access to any VM's console without reaching for a separate tool.

Ceph Storage

Distributed storage you can actually see.

Ceph is powerful but operationally opaque. SkyVER surfaces cluster status, monitor and manager quorum, OSD state, CRUSH classes and capacity in one view per cluster — with a Ceph Secret Manager that assigns a separate libvirt Ceph secret to each RBD pool on every KVM host, so storage access stays scoped and auditable.

  • Cluster health at a glanceMonitors, managers and OSD state, capacity and IOPS in one card.
  • OSD & CRUSH visibilityEvery OSD, its host, weight and status, plus CRUSH classes and rules.
  • Ceph Secret ManagerA dedicated libvirt secret per RBD pool per host, applied to selected hosts in one action.
  • Pool & usage trackingCapacity used, available and object counts, without a separate CLI session.

Kubernetes

Deploy and operate clusters your way.

SkyVER's Kube Manager provisions Kubernetes clusters across your own KVM infrastructure from a guided, seven-step wizard — template, configuration, host assignment, VM provisioning, plugins, advanced YAML and review — including ready-made Ceph and Kubernetes node templates. Once live, every cluster gets a full operations panel: add or remove control-plane and worker nodes, upgrade Kubernetes or the container runtime, drain and cordon nodes, rotate certificates, and back up or restore cluster state.

  • Guided cluster deploymentA seven-step wizard from template selection through to review — no manual kubeadm.
  • Ready-made templatesPre-built Ceph and Kubernetes node templates, alongside a configure-from-scratch option.
  • Full node lifecycleAdd worker, add control plane, drain, cordon, remove node — every operation one click away.
  • Cluster maintenanceUpgrade Kubernetes and the container runtime, rotate certificates, back up and restore.

Networking & Traffic

Firewalls, overlays and traffic, per host.

Every KVM host gets a Firewall Manager for zone-based rules — allowed services, open ports and custom rich rules — and a VxLAN Manager for overlay networking: interfaces, bridges and bridge FDB entries, with a guided form for creating new VxLAN interfaces and their underlying bridges. Traffic analytics sit alongside, giving platform teams a live read on backend health and request flow.

  • Per-host firewall zonesAllowed services, open ports and custom rich rules, scoped to each host.
  • VxLAN overlay networkingCreate interfaces and bridges from a guided form, or manage existing ones directly.
  • Bridge & FDB visibilityEvery bridge, its members and STP state, in one list.
  • Live traffic healthBackend status and request flow surfaced alongside the network layer that carries it.

Observability

See problems before your users do.

A colour-coded heatmap shows CPU, memory and disk pressure for every monitored host, refreshed automatically and backed by history charts for on-demand review. Kubernetes and Ceph cluster health render as the same at-a-glance status anyone on the team can read — healthy, degraded or down — so the dashboard answers is anything on fire? before someone has to ask.

  • Colour-coded heatmapCPU, memory and disk for every host, scanned continuously.
  • History & on-demand refreshCharts over time, plus a manual rescan when you need the latest number now.
  • Cluster health rollupsKubernetes and Ceph status summarised the same way, side by side.
  • One dashboard, every layerCompute, storage and cluster health without switching tools.

Access & Automation

The right people, the right access — provably.

Role-based access — Admin, Viewer and Operator — gates every capability in the platform, layered with two-factor authentication and a configurable password policy enforced on both browser and server. For routine operational work, the Automator runs safe, templated actions across many hosts at once, and Bulk VM Operations gives a single history view of every start, shutdown and kill issued across the estate.

  • Role-based accessAdmin, Viewer and Operator roles with fine-grained, per-capability permissions.
  • Two-factor authenticationTOTP enrolment and verification layered on every account.
  • Fleet automationGuided or YAML-defined operations run safely across many hosts at once.
  • Bulk operation historyEvery start, shutdown and kill action logged with its outcome, in one place.

By the numbers

One console for the whole estate.

SkyVER doesn't abstract away infrastructure — it unifies it. Compute, storage, Kubernetes, networking, security and access all get first-class treatment inside one permission model.
