Cybele delivers virtual apps with the IONOS Cloud

Case Study

Try the IONOS Cloud

Cybele needed a reliable and cost-efficient cloud foundation

A fragmented market and high entry costs

Cybele’s partners, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), needed a simpler and more affordable way to deliver virtual applications. Existing hyperscaler solutions such as Azure Virtual Desktop or AWS AppStream were often too expensive and complex for mid-market clients.

The challenge for MSPs and ISVs

Partners struggled with long setup times, unpredictable costs and thin margins. Cybele saw the gap, a virtualization platform with enterprise-grade performance that was affordable, scalable and compliant with strict European standards.

About Cybele Software

Cybele is a global software company specializing in secure access and virtualization. Their flagship platform enables organizations to deliver Virtual Desktops (VDI) and Application Virtualization with Zero Trust security.

By combining innovative technology with a partner-first approach, Cybele supports MSPs and ISVs worldwide in building new services, scaling profitably and meeting fast-changing customer demands.

From Cloud Server to an Application-as-a-Service

Integrated with the IONOS Cloud infrastructure

Cybele builds its platform directly on the IONOS Cloud. Partners use Cloud Server and APIs to provision environments quickly and at scale. Once the infrastructure is in place, Cybele’s Cloud Manager lets MSPs and ISVs create and scale application servers for their customers.  This ensures multi-tenancy, predictable costs and reliable performance for every deployment.

Faster onboarding and stronger margins

Pilot projects showed that partners could onboard new customers in less than one week compared to four to six weeks on hyperscalers. One MSP in a highly price-sensitive market reported delivering Cybele-based services at 25% lower prices than Azure Virtual Desktop while maintaining higher margins. Another partner used white-label features to strengthen their brand and customer loyalty.
Real value at a glance
  • Onboarding cut from weeks to days
  • 30 to 40% lower TCO compared to hyperscalers
  • Scalable to hundreds of tenants without cost ceilings

“With the IONOS Cloud, we created a one-click provisioning platform that MSPs and ISVs can deliver profitably. It combines enterprise-grade performance with SMB-friendly economics, exactly what the market was missing.”

Key factors behind the decision

IONOS Cloud offers transparent pricing, more than 30% lower than hyperscalers, with no hidden fees for bandwidth or storage. This gave Cybele and its partners the financial clarity to scale sustainably.

IONOS Cloud APIs and seamless integrations made it easy for Cybele to adapt their stack into a one-click platform. This ensures every MSP can provision environments and extend additional services from the IONOS Cloud.

Performance parity with hyperscalers without the complexity or overhead. In addition, hosting in European ISO-certified data centers with strong GDPR compliance reassured partners working in sensitive sectors such as healthcare, government and financial services.
