Tiered support packages with SLA-backed response times, dedicated engineers, and custom integrations.

Virtualization that
doesn't hold you hostage.

VMware costs are out of control. QuantaVirt is the way out.

After the Broadcom acquisition, VMware licensing costs have increased 2x to 12x for many organizations. QuantaVirt gives you enterprise-grade virtualization with post-quantum security, no per-socket fees, and no vendor lock-in.

Built on the Linux KVM hypervisor that already runs the majority of the world's cloud workloads, QuantaVirt adds what no other hypervisor offers: native post-quantum cryptographic protection at every layer.

  • No per-socket, per-VM, or per-core licensing
  • Use the hardware you already own
  • V2V migration tooling from VMware ESXi
  • KVM-based with Intel VMX and AMD SVM support
  • Runs Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD guests
  • VirtIO paravirtual drivers for near-native I/O
  • GPU passthrough via VFIO for compute and graphics
  • Web management console included
  • REST API for automation and orchestration
  • Active open-source community on GitHub

How QuantaVirt compares.

Feature-for-feature, QuantaVirt delivers enterprise virtualization with security no competitor can match.

"The quantum threat to encrypted data is not a future problem. Adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today for decryption once cryptographically relevant quantum computers exist. Organizations must begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography now."

NSA, CNSA 2.0 Advisory, 2022

Quantum-safe
at every layer.

Every data path through QuantaVirt is protected with NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. No bolt-on modules, no afterthought patches.

Memory

VM Memory Encryption

All guest memory pages encrypted with ML-KEM-768 derived keys. Per-VM key isolation with hardware-enforced boundaries via AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX.

Storage

Disk Encryption

Virtual disk encryption using ML-KEM key wrapping with AES-256-GCM data encryption. Transparent to guest operating systems.

Boot

Signed Boot Chain

ML-DSA-65 signed boot chain from firmware through hypervisor to guest kernel. Tamper detection at every stage.

Migration

Secure Live Migration

PQC-encrypted live migration between hosts. VM state and memory pages protected in transit with ML-KEM key exchange.

Network

PQC TLS Offload

Hardware-accelerated post-quantum TLS termination for guest network traffic. Transparent to applications.

Entropy

Quantum RNG

100+ Mbps quantum random number generation distributed to all guest VMs via virtio-rng device emulation.

Near-native speeds.
No compromises.

~1M
IOPS for storage. VirtIO-blk and NVMe passthrough.

Built for organizations
that can't afford to wait.

CNSA 2.0 mandates post-quantum cryptography for national security systems by 2030. Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks make the timeline even more urgent.

Defense & Intelligence

Classified Workloads

CNSA 2.0 compliant virtualization for sensitive government and defense environments. Meets NSA quantum-resistant requirements ahead of mandate deadlines.

Financial Services

Trading & Banking

Protect financial data and transactions against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks. Long-lived financial records require quantum-safe encryption today.

Healthcare

Patient Data & Research

HIPAA-regulated patient records and pharmaceutical research data with 20+ year confidentiality requirements need post-quantum protection now.

Critical Infrastructure

Energy & Utilities

SCADA and OT virtualization for power grids, water systems, and industrial control. Long asset lifetimes demand quantum-resistant security.

Open source core.

Type 1 hypervisor.
Zero compromise.

QuantaVirt runs directly on bare metal, with no host OS between the hypervisor and hardware. Every layer is secured with post-quantum cryptography.
