NaoShift Portal · Hosting providers and MSPs

Your customers' self-service portal, under your brand.

NaoShift Portal gives each end customer a space in which it manages its own virtual machines, within the limits you set. You manage tenants, quotas, catalog and usage statements from NaoShift Core. A VMware Cloud Director alternative, on Proxmox VE and XCP-ng.

  • White label: domain, logo, colors, language
  • Isolation created on the hypervisor, not only in the interface
  • Exportable usage statements, ready for your billing

Customer portal: a machine, its protection and the operations opened

End customer side

What your customer sees and does

A space limited to its scope, with everyday operations and nothing else.

Its virtual machines

Inventory of its scope, state, allocated resources, HA and backup protection visible machine by machine.

Everyday operations

Start, stop, restart, snapshots, CPU and memory reconfiguration, disks and network cards, within the capabilities you open.

Remote console

noVNC console in the browser, served under your domain, cut immediately on any right revocation.

Deployment from your catalog

New machines created from the templates you publish, with a predefined or custom size, an IP address chosen within the customer's range, cloud-init.

Quotas and usage

vCPU, memory, storage and snapshots consumed against allocated quotas. The customer knows where it stands before asking for more.

Activity and history

Notifications, latest events in its scope and history of its own actions, kept for 13 months.

Hosting provider side

What you manage from NaoShift Core

The portal has no database and no business logic: everything is administered in the console.

Tenants and VDCs

One tenant per customer, one or more virtual datacenters per tenant, each attached to a cluster or pool and to an allocation model, with limits you can change in service.

Quotas and capabilities

Quotas per virtual datacenter, snapshot ceilings, capabilities opened or closed operation by operation (provisioning, power, console, snapshot, network, deletion).

Catalog

Templates published per tenant, size presets, address ranges per customer.

Rate cards

Versioned rate cards, assignment per tenant, specific terms: discount, commitment, trial, minimum. Billing basis on vCPU or memory, your choice.

Usage statements

Usage segments measured continuously, frozen monthly statements exportable as CSV, JSON or signed webhook to your billing tool. NaoShift does not issue invoices.

Brand, language, maintenance

Brand domain, logo, colors checked for accessibility, SSO sign-in screens under your brand, language chosen by the user, maintenance windows with banner or read-only mode.

Isolation

Isolation is created on the hypervisor, not only displayed

For each virtual datacenter, NaoShift creates the isolation primitives on the platform: resource pool, dedicated VLAN or VXLAN network, native account with restricted rights. Every order sent to the hypervisor carries a signed envelope naming the tenant, the virtual datacenter and the identity of the targeted machine.

  • Pool, VLAN and dedicated account created by NaoShift when the site is bootstrapped
  • Private VXLAN networks per customer on Proxmox VE 9, placement policies chosen at deployment
  • Opaque identifiers on the portal side: network, ISO image and storage are resolved server-side
  • Authentication only on the backend: e-mail, SMS, TOTP, or your OpenID Connect provider
  • Per-tenant audit log, exportable to your SIEM
Why now

The customer portal after VMware Cloud Director

An administration plane already in place

NaoShift Portal builds on NaoShift Core: multi-hypervisor agent, locked capabilities, audit, remote console. The portal adds tenancy, quotas and metering, not a second stack.

Proxmox VE and XCP-ng

The platforms hosting providers migrate to after the end of the VCSP program, both available.

A thin front end

The portal is a front end without a database, deployable as one or several instances, one operator per instance. A compromised front end never crosses operators.
