Genesis Cloud is a software company. We sell Genesis Grid, a general-purpose multi-tenant IaaS and PaaS stack that data centre and neocloud operators license and run themselves. We built it because we ran a public cloud on it — from 2018, for more than 20,000 users, on our own capital and our own on-call rota.
Genesis Grid did not come out of a product plan. It came out of operating a public cloud with our own capital and our own on-call rota, and rebuilding the stack twice when the first two answers stopped scaling. Genesis was also the first non-US company to receive Intel Gaudi. The sources sit on the proof page.

Genesis ran OpenStack in production and outgrew it. The replacement is Kubernetes stripped back until it orchestrates virtual machines instead of containers — the scheduler and the reconciliation loop, without the container assumptions that never fitted accelerator tenancy.
Partition keys enforced on the fabric give each tenant its own domain on shared InfiniBand. When we showed the mechanism to NVIDIA's own engineers, it surprised them. You get it as a shipped feature rather than a research project.
Genesis is an active SONiC contributor and runs switching on white-box Broadcom hardware. You buy switches on price and lead time, and the network software does not expire when a vendor contract does.
VPP for packet processing and SPDK for block I/O, both in user space, carry 200 to 800G per node. You reach line rate without spending the cores your accelerators need on kernel overhead.
No. Genesis operated a public cloud from 2018 and served more than 20,000 users on it. Today Genesis Cloud is a software company: we license Genesis Grid to operators, and we sell no capacity, no hosting and no managed services. The operating years are why the stack exists, not what we sell.

Genesis earns from licensing software, not from reselling accelerator hours at thin margins. Volta licensed Genesis Grid and is building its platform on it. Beyond that, source escrow with NCC Group covers the control plane, the metering layer and the portal, so your fleet does not depend on our balance sheet.
You keep running. The control plane sits in your estate and does not phone home to stay alive, so an outage of ours stops neither your tenants nor the meter. What sits underneath is standard Kubernetes orchestrating virtual machines, not a format only we can read.
No, and there is no longer a mechanism for it. Genesis sells software to operators and holds no end-customer capacity contracts of any kind. Your brand, your rate card and your tenant contracts are the only ones in the deal.
Photoroom selected Genesis for a 256-GPU H100 cluster and wrote publicly about how it made that choice. Volta licensed the stack and built its business on it, and Volta is the licensee we are allowed to name. Genesis was the first non-US company to receive Intel Gaudi and has around 5 PiB of VAST integrated. The proof page carries the sources.
