Cloudalize

Cloudalize is a Belgium-based cloud technology company specialising in GPU-accelerated cloud infrastructure and virtual workstations. Its core platform is a full-stack, GPU-powered Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) designed for compute- and graphics-intensive workloads (AI, 3D/CGI, BIM, rendering). The company empowers organisations to run GPU-accelerated applications on any device, enabling high performance with minimal local hardware requirements.

• Cloudalize was founded in 2011 (or around that year) in Ghent, Belgium, by co-founders Benny Willen (CEO) and Jeffrey Meesemaecker (CTO), according to multiple sources. 

   

• Early on, they established a strong partnership with NVIDIA for GPU technology and with content/engine companies like Epic Games for distribution of 3D/engine-based content. 

   

• The company joined the EIT Digital Accelerator programme in 2017 to support international growth. 

   

• Growth appears to have been more measured: recent data show that Cloudalize had ≈ 11 employees in 2024 and revenue around USD 2 m. 

   

• They have built their own data-centre stack (control over hardware, software, hosting) rather than relying purely on third-party clouds. 

The company's recent development is heavily geared toward cutting-edge visualization and machine learning applications:

• Spatial Computing and Digital Twins: Positioning the platform as an Enterprise Cloud powering Generative AI, Digital Twins, and Spatial Computing.

   

• NVIDIA Omniverse Integration: Offering seamless access to NVIDIA Omniverse for real-time ray tracing, AI, and advanced simulation, catering to the collaborative design and engineering space.

   

• AI/LLM Support: Actively integrating support for Open-Source LLMs and RAG Solutions to help enterprises unlock the full potential of their AI initiatives using the GPU-accelerated cloud.

The organizational philosophy revolves around two pillars: Deep Technology and Accessibility.

• Humanizing Cloud: A core stated mission is to "humanise cloud technology," ensuring that powerful, complex concepts like GPU-acceleration are understood and easily utilized by businesses and educational institutions.

   

• Deep Tech Focus: The team is composed of highly skilled engineers and experts across various roles, with a clear organizational DNA rooted in cloud computing and GPU technology.

• The user base spans multiple industry verticals: AEC (architecture, engineering, construction), manufacturing, media/entertainment, education, digital twins, and government. 

   

• Example customer success: Imago VFX used Cloudalize for film-production cloud rendering with software like Autodesk Maya, Nuke, DaVinci Resolve, enabling distributed teams. 

   

• According to Gartner Peer Insights, Cloudalize has a product in the DaaS market (“Cloud Workstations (DaaS)”) with 5 reviews averaging 5.0 stars. 

   

• The company also has a partner programme, an investor list (Horizons Ventures etc.), and appears to be building a community around GPU-cloud and high-performance remote workstations.

   

• They are mentioned in sector-specific reports (e.g., PropTech e-book by PwC) as a key player.
