+## About US Signal
+
+A leading digital infrastructure provider of cloud, core connectivity, and
data center services
+
+US Signal is a leading digital infrastructure provider offering cloud,
+core connectivity, and data center services. With a portfolio
+including colocation, IT infrastructure, endpoint monitoring, data
+management, disaster recovery, and security services, US Signal’s data
+center solutions can meet even the most unique and complex technical
+requirements.
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+Founded in 2000, US Signal has grown into one of the largest privately
+held data center services providers. Its natural growth strategy has
+allowed US Signal to evolve its solution portfolio based on customer
+demand, emerging technologies, and changing business
+requirements. With two core competencies—internet connectivity and
+data center services—and 10 data centers, US Signal supports a wide
+range of customers and hosts some of the largest healthcare
+organizations and manufacturing companies in the Midwest.
+
+## Ensuring Reliability and Predictability Based on Open Source
+
+Following the challenges arising from Broadcom's acquisition of
+VMware, US Signal sought an additional IaaS solution to offer their
+customers. John White, Chief Operating Officer at US Signal,
+emphasizes the importance of companies controlling their own destinies
+and having full opportunities for cloud consumption.
+
+“We are a Premier VMware partner, among the largest in the U.S., and
+it was going really well for us. However, over the last few years, as
+VMware grew, they focused on just about anything but the service
+provider community. This created some challenges for us and our
+customers and left VMware vulnerable to disruption,” White said.
+
+## The Choice of Apache CloudStack
+
+While some customers continue to use VMware for specific use cases, US
+Signal wanted to offer an alternative IaaS solution that would ensure
+predictability, avoid dependency on a single vendor, and lower
+licensing costs.
+
+“At the end of 2023, we quickly put together an R&D team focused on
+finding alternative cloud solutions,” explained White. “Our Cloud Team
+started working with various technologies, and CloudStack was one of
+them. We thought it would probably take us a few years to figure out
+an alternative, but as we began designing and building, we discovered
+that CloudStack was working pretty well. We were able to get pretty
+good consistency, performance, and availability,” White observed.
+
+“We knew we wanted to do something open, and CloudStack seemed to be
+the right fit for us,” continued White. We wanted the solution to be
+self-service and able to run multiple hypervisors. While we plan to
+use KVM, we wanted to have the ability to run Xen if needed. An
+additional requirement was options for easy migration between VMware
+and the new platform.”
+
+
+__US Signal’s criteria:__
+
+ • Self-service solution
+ • Online portal available
+ • Multi-hypervisor support
+ • Performance and availability
+ • Easy migration from VMware
+ • Simple networking management
+ • Firewalls and load balancing easy management
+ • Same support, performance, and uptime SLAs to match their VMware
environment
+ • Distributed solution between multiple data centers
+ • Integrations with existing tools and technologies
+ • OpenAPI
+
+US Signal chose Apache CloudStack not only for its outstanding
+technical capabilities but also for its supportive open-source
+community. This choice enables the company to control its own destiny
+without being dependent on a single vendor.
+
+“We appreciate that Apache CloudStack is supported by an open
+community. We are going to be contributing, others are contributing,
+we are all driving towards a common goal. This collaboration provides
+long-term support and growth that will meet future technology
+demands,” White added.
+
+
+## Future Roadmap with CloudStack
+
+US Signal is committed to providing outstanding, customer-focused
+services. They hope to leverage Apache CloudStack to enable AI
+workloads, support edge computing (customer premises), and meet
+compliance standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and HITRUST.
+
+“We are proud of what we have been able to achieve with CloudStack in
+a very short timeframe. We're really excited for our launch and
+strongly recommend CloudStack as an alternative IaaS solution to
+VMware or even the hyperscalers,”White concluded.
+
+## US Signal, a Frontrunner in Cloud Services
+
+
+US Signal’s dedication to customer-focused solutions and
+forward-thinking approach positions them as a leader in the cloud
+services industry. Their adoption of Apache CloudStack demonstrates
+their commitment to providing reliable, predictable, and
+cost-effective solutions while supporting AI workloads and future
+technological advancements.
