Big Breaking: Neon Cloud Partners with Virtuozzo
Neon Cloud, the next-generation cloud platform from Progression, has announced a strategic technology partnership with Virtuozzo, a global leader in full-stack cloud technologies. The collaboration aims to deliver scalable, cost-efficient cloud infrastructure and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings tailored for Indian SMBs, startups, and software providers.
Backed by over 30 years of IT expertise through its parent company, Progression Infonet Pvt. Ltd., Neon Cloud combines enterprise-grade reliability with startup agility. Its developer-friendly platform offers a self-service model that simplifies operations, reduces costs, and ensures complete control without vendor lock-in. With a state-of-the-art data center in Gurgaon, Neon Cloud is positioned to offer high-performance, locally supported cloud services for modern businesses.
The partnership will integrate Virtuozzo’s full suite of cloud technologies—including hyperconverged infrastructure, high-performance software-defined storage, and DevOps-ready PaaS—into Neon Cloud’s managed services.
This will enable Indian enterprises to access flexible and scalable solutions across three key areas:
- Hybrid Infrastructure: A production-ready, hyperconverged IaaS platform based on OpenStack, optimized for performance and lower total cost of ownership
- Application Platform: A DevOps-ready PaaS to automate application deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management across multi-cloud environments
- Storage: A scalable software-defined storage solution with S3-compatible object storage, NFS, and iSCSI support
Sarthak Hooda, Founder & CEO, Neon Cloud, said, “Our vision at Neon Cloud is to empower Indian businesses with cloud infrastructure that is powerful, transparent, and built for local needs. This partnership with Virtuozzo allows us to significantly boost our performance and service stack while staying true to our promise of affordability, sovereignty, and reliability.
“This collaboration ensures that businesses of all sizes—from innovative startups to large enterprises—have access to powerful cloud infrastructure with unmatched flexibility, local support, and dramatically improved price-to-performance ratios compared to traditional providers,” Hooda said.
Jan-Jaap Jager, COO and President, Virtuozzo, added, “India is a strategic growth market for Virtuozzo in Asia, with rising demand for sovereign, high-performance, and cost-efficient cloud solutions. The partnership with Progression under the Neon Cloud brand enables us to deliver a powerful alternative to traditional hyperscalers and legacy platforms.
“By combining our advanced cloud technologies with Progression’s proven local expertise, we are empowering India’s service providers and businesses to build scalable, differentiated cloud services with greater control, stronger compliance, and improved economics tailored to local market needs,” Jager said.
Targeting key sectors such as software development, retail, BFSI, education, and AI/ML-driven startups, the partnership promises 2–4x better price-performance compared to traditional hyperscalers. With local hosting across multiple Indian cities and dedicated data centers, the platform ensures low-latency delivery, compliance with data sovereignty laws, and support for on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.
With this alliance, Neon Cloud is poised to lead India’s next phase of cloud transformation—making enterprise-grade cloud accessible to all, while eliminating complexity, vendor lock-in, and premium pricing.
