Partner with VSHN on Managed OpenShift

You bring the customer relationship and OpenShift expertise: application modernisation, container migration, CI/CD design, developer onboarding. VSHN brings 24/7 managed cluster operations, Swiss data residency, and a 99.99% SLA as Red Hat Premier CCSP. Together you deliver a complete managed OpenShift solution without either side building capabilities you don't have.

Why this works

Operating the cluster is VSHN's business, not the application modernization or migration work that is yours. About 86% of our revenue is that recurring operation, the rest support and change requests, so your CI/CD design and onboarding mandates stay yours to deliver.

• No stake in your project work: we are paid for the cluster running, not for winning your modernization engagement
• Your relationship with the customer stays intact: VSHN operates behind it as Red Hat Premier CCSP
• A structural fact, not a promise: the revenue split is why the protected relationships below hold regardless of goodwill

How we collaborate

Lead Partner model. For each project, one of us is the customer's single point of contact. Who leads depends on the project, agreed per engagement. The Lead Partner drives the project, handles invoicing, and owns first-level support. If you are evaluating VSHN directly as the accountable party, rather than as a delivery partner, see the sovereignty page for how VSHN handles data residency and legal accountability on its own.

Joint delivery. You handle consulting, integration, and project management. VSHN handles infrastructure operations, monitoring, backups, and SLA. Or the other way around, depending on the project. Roles are agreed per engagement, not locked into a rigid structure.

Flexible billing. Invoice the customer together or separately, agreed per project. Both models are supported: each party invoices their share directly, or one party invoices the full amount and redistributes.

Protected relationships. No undercutting. Your customer stays your customer. Existing relationships are respected on both sides, with contractual protections for both parties.

Division of labor for Managed OpenShift

Keep the client relationship. Hand over the cluster.

Some firms never wanted the cluster. You hold the contract for the application, the client wanted it on OpenShift, and the platform became yours to patch, upgrade and answer for at night. Every hour spent on a cluster upgrade is an hour the application contract does not pay for.

In that case you lead and we stay in the background. You remain the client's single point of contact and send the invoice, and VSHN operates the cluster around the clock under a contract with you.

We operate what we know. The cluster has to be set up to the VSHN standard before we can run it around the clock, because the engineer who answers at 03:00 has to know the system. An existing cluster is brought to that standard first.
