ICP Industrial Cloud Platform – Open Virtualization Solution by Kontron

The Kontron ICP Industrial Cloud/Virtualization Platform delivers a comprehensive private-cloud and virtualization solution built entirely on open technologies, providing organizations with a credible alternative to proprietary virtualization stacks without vendor lock-in risks. At its core, ICP leverages KVM-based virtualization and Ceph-based scalable storage with separated management, storage, and data networks, while offering optional OpenStack control plane integration for cloud-scale operations. The platform is engineered with sovereignty as a primary design principle, featuring private deployment capabilities, local repositories, validated upgrades, and local support to ensure complete control over infrastructure, data, and lifecycle management without external dependencies. ICP supports three distinct deployment models to accommodate various organizational needs: ICP Virtual Platform provides compact deployment for small and edge environments, ICP Cloud delivers scalable private cloud capabilities ranging from 3 to over 100 nodes, and Kubernetes on ICP serves as a platform for cloud-native functions, AI workloads, and modern containerized applications. The operations and support framework includes automation through Ansible and CLI workflows, comprehensive observability via Prometheus and Grafana integration, along with logging, backup, and full lifecycle support for upgrades and Day-2 operations. This platform has been proven in production across demanding environments including telecom, rail, and industrial deployments, supporting distributed edge-cloud configurations with multiple locations and high-availability requirements. Organizations benefit from reduced dependency on single vendors, maintained governance over infrastructure and operations, and the ability to modernize step-by-step from virtualization to cloud and Kubernetes without disruption.
