FluidCloud, a leader in portable cloud infrastructure, has launched with $8.1 million in seed funding from Unusual Ventures and U First Capital. The platform helps enterprises avoid vendor lock-in by providing infrastructure that can be quickly transitioned and is resilient by design.
Many companies face challenges when tied to a single cloud provider, making switching costly and slow. FluidCloud solves this by reverse-engineering existing environments into a standardized infrastructure definition, allowing easy cloning and migration across various cloud ecosystems.
With a focus on Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles, it emphasizes portability, resilience, and unified governance.
Some of the key features include:
- Rapid Portability: Move workloads across regions and cloud providers quickly with automated infrastructure mapping.
-
Built-in Resiliency: Deploy backup environments quickly during outages with redundancy.
-
Real-time Governance: Access insights into compliance and cost efficiency with AI-powered tools.
FluidCloud is tailored for enterprise IT leaders managing complex hybrid environments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and VMware, enabling greater operational agility.
KEY QUOTES:
“Customers don’t want to accept the risk of a multi-region outage at a single vendor taking mission-critical services offline. Vendor resiliency must be built-in.”
Ashish Suri, Global Head of Cyber GRC & Enterprise Risk, Atlassian
“We believe that multi‑cloud isn’t just possible—it’s essential. Businesses deserve the freedom to choose the best vendor for each workload, tailored to their governance, performance, innovation and cost needs. We built FluidCloud to help teams move fast, build smart and negotiate from a position of strength. Innovation starts with freeing your infrastructure.”
Sharad Kumar, CEO and Co-Founder, FluidCloud
“Cloud lock-in has been the nemesis for enterprises since the start of cloud, and they have not been able to easily and successfully migrate to other cloud platforms, making cloud lock-in practically a new emerging form of technical debt. It’s good to see this challenge now being tackled by FluidCloud. By emerging from stealth with working software already in the hands of early customers, FluidCloud is positioned to give enterprises the freedom to innovate across whichever clouds best meet their needs.”
Holger Mueller, Principal Analyst and VP, Constellation Research
“This has transformed our approach to cloud portability—cutting migration effort and resource needs by 90% This empowers our customers with the freedom to innovate across their preferred platforms.”
Amit Rai, Vice President and GM of AI and Enterprise Cloud, Vultr
“Game-changing. What once took months of planning can now be done in minutes. Build your migration strategy with infrastructure-as-code to instantly migrate and unlock the full benefits of OVHcloud—including zero charges for ingress or egress bandwidth on compute instances.”
Jeffery Gregor, General Manager, OVHcloud US
“The world class founders of FluidCloud are bringing AI to a problem engineering leaders have been desperate to solve for years; true infrastructure portability that doesn’t require a year of professional services. Their early customers are reaping the cost and performance benefits that are only accessible when developers have the instant flexibility to innovate wherever they want.”
