QBO, a New Approach to Cloud Computing
Zero Virtualization. Pure Containers. Unparalleled Metal Performance with QBO
Apps
Supports any application running on Linux or Kubernetes, including
Linux and Windows workstations. Ideal for resource-intensive or
real-time workloads that demand direct access to GPU, CPU, RAM,
and disk — delivering bare-metal performance without virtualization
overhead.
From 3D design and video editing to AI/ML, gaming, and data
processing, QBO ensures optimal performance across diverse use
cases.
QBO AsyncAPI
Transforms bare-metal servers into a full-featured cloud computing platform by orchestrating containers, workloads, and infrastructure services through an event-driven architecture. QBO AsyncAPI enables dynamic compute provisioning, real-time API communication, and seamless scaling across distributed environments — all without relying on external cloud dependencies.
QBO GPU Cloud
A high-performance cloud environment built for GPU-accelerated
workloads.
Kubernetes-in-Docker (KinD) Kubernetes Engine: Deploy full
Kubernetes clusters inside containers for isolated, reproducible
environments.
Docker-in-Docker (DinD) Container Engine: Launch
containerized compute instances with GPU support, ideal for
standalone tasks or lightweight virtual workstations.
Self-contained infrastructure dependencies: Includes
integrated Networking, Security, Storage, and Observability — no
external cloud services required.
Bare Metal Servers
Hardware and architecture-agnostic: QBO runs on any x86 or ARM server, regardless of vendor or configuration. No specialized hardware or virtualization layer is required — just Linux.
Designed for AI workloads at the edge
Accelerate AI Infrastructure
10–15x
QBO accelerates AI infrastructure by up to 96% compared to virtualized clouds. Deploy a 3-node cluster in 70 seconds vs. 15 minutes with hyperscalers.
Launch compute instances in sub-seconds, and scale infrastructure 10× faster — all with dramatically simpler management.
With QBO, you deploy, scale, and adapt faster than ever — leaving traditional hyperscalers behind.
Save on Cost Compared to Any Hyperscaler
75%+
QBO reduces cloud costs by up to 75% compared to traditional hyperscalers — without sacrificing performance.
Benefit from built-in services like DNS, load balancing, networking, and core infrastructure, all included by default.
There are no hidden fees, no premium charges for basic services, and no billing surprises — just predictable, efficient infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.
Do More with Less Hardware
10x
QBO delivers up to 10Ă— greater Kubernetes density by running clusters in lightweight containers rather than full virtual machines.
Where traditional setups may fit 15 Kubernetes VMs on a server, QBO can host 150 KinD-based clusters on the same hardware — with full isolation, native performance, and zero virtualization overhead.
Streamline Deployments
5 Minutes
All infrastructure dependencies are fully self-contained within QBO, allowing you to spin up a complete cloud environment in minutes — without relying on any external services.
This includes critical components such as Firewall, Load Balancer, DNS, User Management, Authentication, ACME, and more — all integrated and ready out of the box.
With QBO, deployment is no longer a complex assembly of third-party tools — it’s a single, unified platform built for speed and simplicity.
Bring Your Own Cloud
100%
With QBO, you can deploy your infrastructure anywhere — on-premises, in the public cloud, at the edge, or even in air-gapped environments — with complete mobility and control.
This flexibility ensures data sovereignty, simplifies compliance with regulatory requirements, and enhances security by letting you choose where and how your data and workloads are deployed.
Whether for enterprise, government, or regulated industries, QBO gives you the freedom to build your cloud on your terms.
Maximum Performance for AI/ML, Real-Time, and High I/O Workloads
100%
QBO delivers bare-metal speed for AI/ML training, inference, real-time processing, and data-intensive workloads — with zero virtualization overhead.
Achieve native-level performance for the most demanding applications, including GPU-accelerated compute, low-latency inference, and high-throughput I/O pipelines.
With QBO, you get direct access to hardware, maximizing resource efficiency and ensuring deterministic performance where it matters most.

Leading AI Innovators Trust QBO
“QBO exhibits metal performance across the board with all our ML/AI workloads.”
Simon McCormackVP Product, Drut
“With QBO, we took our Kubernetes cluster build-time down from 9 minutes to 70 seconds. It’s mind-blowing; I’ve never seen anything like it!”
Graham McGuinessJigsaw24
“I don’t understand it cause in theory, it (a 60-second deployment) shouldn’t be possible!”
Riccardo BerardoneMobiliti Group
“To be able to deliver on our GTM strategy, we needed a lower and predictable infrastructure cost model, like QBO’s.”
