Infrastructure on autopilot. You take over exactly when it matters.
Leo runs backups, health checks and workload placement automatically — and hands you the controls the instant something actually needs a decision.
Enterprise-Grade HardwareGuaranteed Uptime SLAGDPR Compliant100% Open Source StackTier III Data Center
Intelligent Infrastructure
Issues surface before your users notice.
Backups, health checks and workload placement run on autopilot — a human is paged only when something actually needs a decision.
Anomaly Detection
Your servers have a fingerprint. We alert based on that — not a generic threshold.
Each VM builds a sliding behavioral baseline. Alerts fire only when there is a real deviation — not during a scheduled job spike, but when something is actually broken. No false alarms at 3 AM. No missed events.
Sliding baseline comparison
not a static thresholdLive Placement
New VMs land on the host with actual capacity — automatically.
Every host reports CPU and RAM in real time. When you launch a VM, the platform picks the host that can actually handle it — not just the next in line. Hosts under maintenance are skipped automatically.

- Sliding baseline anomaly detection — alerts fire the moment your workload deviates from its own pattern, not at a static 80% threshold.
- The vast majority of incidents are auto-resolved by runbooks before an engineer is paged.

Platform Capabilities
Every layer of your stack. Built in, not bolted on.
No third-party agents, no manual integrations. Every feature below is part of the same platform — managed from one panel, billed on one invoice.
Virtual Machines
Launch, snapshot, scale — without touching the hardware.
AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage ready in under 60 seconds. Snapshot before risky changes, pause without losing RAM state, and convert any running server into a reusable template.
- Start, stop, pause, resume — in-memory state is preserved across pause/resume
- Resize CPU and RAM on the same host — no live migration needed
- Convert any VM into a reusable template for identical copies
Networking
Five network types. One software-defined fabric.
Public, private, VPN, management and DMZ — each with its own CIDR, DNS servers and dedicated gateway/firewall. Per-network and per-NIC bandwidth limits prevent one VM from saturating others.
- Reserve specific IPs that will not be automatically assigned to another resource
- DHCP distributes addresses as VMs start — no static configuration needed
- Per-NIC bandwidth limits enforce fair usage without manual intervention
Storage
Grow the disk. No downtime. No ticket.
Add, detach, resize and clone virtual disks independently of the VM. The platform continuously scans every pool for capacity and health — across HDD, SSD and NVMe tiers.
- Resize virtual disks without recreating or stopping the VM
- Clone any disk to create an independent copy in seconds
- Automatic capacity and health scanning before pools fill up
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Documented RPO and RTO — not just a checkbox.
Every backup job carries an explicit Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective tracked by the platform. Automatic retention cleanup, replication to a secondary location, and one-click restore from any snapshot.
- Schedule by day of week, day of month or fixed time
- Email or webhook notification when each job completes or fails
- Backups outside the retention period are cleaned up automatically
Boot Configuration
Self-healing servers. On every reboot, not just the first.
Hostname, password and disk expansion happen automatically at boot — and on every subsequent reboot. Add a startup script and it runs after setup completes; your server arrives configured and stays that way.
- Disk resize is available inside the VM after reboot — no manual growpart needed
- Configuration is re-applied on every boot — drift is corrected automatically
- Shell or PowerShell scripts run after hostname, disk, environment variables and roles are applied
Service Roles
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Tailscale — pre-installed at boot.
Choose the services you need when creating a VM. Auto-installed by the same trusted boot engine that sets your hostname and SSH keys — no manual login, no extra agent needed.
- Set a root password or auth key per VM — otherwise defaults apply
- Roles are per-VM — enabling MySQL on one server never affects another
- Deprecated catalogue roles drop cleanly; new ones appear without any code change

HIPAA-Compliant Cloud Infrastructure in 2026: What the New Security Rule Actually Requires from Your Servers, Storage, and Backups
The 2026 HIPAA Security Rule overhaul converts previously "addressable" technical safeguards into hard mandatory requirements, directly affecting how covered entities and business associates configure cloud servers, storage encryption, backups, and network segmentation. This guide explains exactly what changed, what each control demands from your infrastructure, and how to achieve audit-ready compliance within 180 days.

What is Co-Location?
In today's digitally driven world, businesses of all sizes face a common challenge: how do you maintain fast, secure, and reliable IT infrastructure without the enormous cost and complexity of building and running your own data center? The answer, for a growing number of organizations, is co-location one of the most strategic infrastructure decisions a modern business can make. So, what is co-location? Co-location is a service where businesses house their own servers and IT equipment in a third-party data center, sharing its power, cooling, and network infrastructure. This article covers everything you need to know about co-location: what it is, how it works, what it includes, who uses it, how it compares to other hosting models, and what to look for when choosing a provider.

What is a Post Boot Script?
The first step after creating a cloud server is usually to establish an SSH connection. Package updates, web server installation, database settings, security configuration... But what if all of these could be done automatically at the very first boot, without ever connecting to the server? Moreover, what if you didn't need an additional license, extra service, or third-party automation tool for this? Post Boot Script provides exactly that.

Do 5-Year-Old Servers Still Work? Server Repair
In recent years, there has been a significant transformation in the server world. Especially in terms of processor (CPU) capacities, we are witnessing a real leap forward. While 16 and 32 core processors were once considered "high performance," today CPUs with 64 cores and above are becoming standard. So, what happens to old hardware in this rapidly changing ecosystem? **Are 5-year-old servers still useful?** Our guide on increasing CPU capacities and the rising second-hand server market provides answers to this critical question.
