About Us

VanillaCore was founded by Karsten Samaschke, rooted in core principles of open-source, cloud-native efficiency, and vendor independence, addressing a fundamental need: organizations require integrated, vendor-independent technology stacks. VanillaCore delivers comprehensive open-source solutions spanning cloud, AI, and operations that organizations can truly own.

We believe that digital infrastructure should be open, adaptable, and controlled by those who use it. This conviction drives our development of three core technology stacks:

• Cloud infrastructures that organizations can truly own and operate on their premises
• AI systems built on open-source models that run efficiently on standard hardware
• A proactive operations platform that integrates best-in-class open-source tools

Our architecture and development practices follow cloud-native principles, ensuring scalability and resilience while maintaining independence from proprietary platforms.

VanillaCore operates in the EU, UK, Africa, and Middle East, focusing on small and medium enterprises, large corporations, and the public sector. We target organizations seeking technological independence and sustainable digital infrastructure.

We specialize in:

• Private cloud deployments that match public cloud capabilities
• Custom AI solutions that remain under your control
• Operations platforms that enable proactivity through automation and AI
• Cloud-native architecture that scales with your needs

These are the core values that guide our decisions and actions:

• Open Source First: We believe in transparent, community-driven technology
• True Ownership: Your infrastructure should work for you, not the other way around
• Practical Innovation: Advanced technology must solve real problems
• Knowledge Transfer: We help you build internal expertise
