Civo launches Flexcore, a revolutionary private cloud appliance, to the North American market at Civo Navigate in San Francisco. Flexcore offers businesses a simplified, plug-and-play private cloud deployment experience, ensuring rapid setup and seamless integration with major public cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
FlexCore is developed to bring the advanced functionality of a public cloud and ease of use familiar to Civo’s public cloud customers into a private cloud environment. The solution includes both hardware and software, pre-integrated for a seamless deployment experience. Users can have their private cloud up and running within minutes, with minimal setup required.
Key features of Flexcore include
- Civo Compute: High-performance virtual machines for traditional workloads.

- Managed Databases: Scalable MySQL, PostgreSQL, and document databases.
- GPU Acceleration: Boost performance for compute-intensive applications.

The announcement comes as an increasing number of enterprises are exploring different cloud solutions, according to Civo research. 82% of senior IT leaders indicated they plan to migrate more workloads from public cloud to private cloud within the next 12 months. Looking at future investments, 85% of organizations expect to increase their private cloud expenditure over the next 12–18 months, including 38% anticipating significant investment growth.
“The demand for private cloud solutions has grown over the past year, as enterprises look to balance the demands of sovereignty and security with the scale that cloud can offer. Our research clearly shows that organizations are taking a hard look at their cloud strategies, especially in light of Broadcom's take over of VMWare, and private cloud is stepping into the spotlight. Whether it's the need for greater data security, regulatory compliance, or support for AI workloads, businesses are recognizing the tangible advantages of private cloud solutions. It's no longer just about cost-saving—it's about future-proofing IT infrastructure and gaining more control over operations." - Mark Boost, CEO of Civo
