Zadara has partnered with
Micro Support Group (MSG) to bring multi-tenant AI and sovereign cloud solutions to enterprises across the Northeastern United States. The collaboration combines MSG’s four decades of IT expertise with Zadara’s distributed cloud platform, giving organizations a modern and secure way to run AI workloads, modernize infrastructure, and lower costs.
A Clear VMware Alternative for Enterprises
Through the partnership, MSG customers gain access to Zadara-powered sovereign and multi-tenant AI clouds built on NVIDIA GPUs. The setup supports a broad mix of workloads—including those requiring strict jurisdictional data control - while maintaining the simplicity of a fully managed model. It also provides a practical option for organizations evaluating alternatives to VMware amid shifting licensing and platform models.
Yoram Novick, CEO of Zadara, told ChannelE2E, “Customers looking for a robust VMware alternative can leverage this partnership through engaging with MSG, which now offers a proven, fully integrated solution for seamlessly migrating VMware workloads to Zadara’s resilient cloud infrastructure.
Zadara’s edge cloud architecture spans more than 500 global locations and offers consumption-based pricing with no egress fees. But its design goes beyond convenience - it’s built for sovereignty and control.
“Unlike public clouds that host AI workloads on their own infrastructure, Zadara AI delivers a true on-premises AI cloud giving you complete digital sovereignty across every dimension: Legal Control, Data Residency, and Access Sovereignty,” Novick explained. “With Zadara AI, customers maintain full physical control of their data and can even operate completely offline, ensuring unmatched security, compliance, and independence.”
Enabling AI Cloud Growth for MSPs and Regional Providers
The partnership also makes it easier for MSPs and regional IT providers to deliver AI-enabled cloud services without major upfront investment. “Through this partnership, Zadara is accelerating the growth of its partner ecosystem, making it easier and faster for MSPs and regional IT providers to join the ecosystem, deploy, and deliver high-value cloud solutions, cutting both time to value and total cost of ownership,” Novick said.
In a crowded cloud market, Novick said Zadara’s distinction lies in offering a complete, purpose-built sovereign AI platform. “Zadara stands out by delivering a comprehensive, end-to-end sovereign cloud solution with no compromises on simplicity, agility, features, or performance,” he said.
“The platform is fully aligned with all the requirements of Sovereign AI, ensuring complete control and compliance without sacrificing innovation. Zadara IaaS is purpose-built for NVIDIA’s reference architecture, seamlessly integrating NVIDIA GPU, Networking, and DPU technologies, along with AI frameworks such as NIM and NeMo, to deliver optimized performance for next-generation AI workloads.”
For MSG, integrating Zadara’s sovereign AI cloud platform strengthens its mission to deliver secure, high-performance IT solutions tailored to each client’s needs. Together, the two companies are giving enterprises and MSPs a clear, cost-aligned path beyond VMware - one that combines sovereignty, AI readiness, and operational simplicity in a single platform.
