About Cloudhouse · London · Since 2010

We are
the change
enablers.

Enterprise IT runs on change. Every patch, migration and modernisation carries risk, and most platforms still treat that risk as someone else's problem. We don't. Cloudhouse exists to make change in complex estates visible, safe and reversible, so the apps your business depends on keep running while everything around them evolves.

01 · The thesis

The hardest thing in enterprise IT
isn't the apps. It's the change.

Cloudhouse was built on a simple, awkward truth most vendors will not say out loud.

Modern infrastructure assumes you can rewrite anything, anytime. Real enterprises can't. They run a generation of mission-critical applications on a generation of operating systems, and a regulator who expects evidence either way.

For most organisations, the apps themselves aren't the problem. They work. They've been working for years. The problem is everything around them, the operating systems going end-of-life, the cloud migrations on the roadmap, the licensing models being rewritten by vendors quarterly, the auditors asking sharper questions every year.

Change is constant. The cost of getting it wrong is not. A misconfigured server brings down a trading floor. A failed packaging job stalls a hospital trust's rollout. A Windows EoL deadline slips, and suddenly the choice is a forced rewrite or an unsupported estate.

Cloudhouse exists for that reality. We don't ask enterprises to refactor what already works. We make the change itself, the patch, the migration, the modernisation, into something visible, evidenced, and recoverable. So infrastructure can evolve at the pace the business needs, without the applications breaking on the way.

In one sentence

We make enterprise change safer to ship and easier to defend, on platforms that were never designed to be changed.

02 · How we work

Three principles
that shape every product.

These aren't slogans on a careers page. They're the constraints we apply to every roadmap decision, every customer engagement, every line of code we ship.

/ 01

Make change visible.

You can't manage what you can't see. Every product we build starts with continuous, evidenced visibility, of drift, of dependencies, of every alteration to a running estate. Visibility before action, every time.

Guardian

/ 02

No rewrites required.

Most modernisation projects fail because they ask the impossible: rebuild what already works. We refuse that bargain. Our job is to move applications forward intact, packaged, portable, supported, without forcing engineering teams into a multi-year refactor.

Foundry · Alchemy

/ 03

Reversible by design.

Enterprise change is never one-shot. The right answer is the one you can roll back from, evidence to a regulator, hand to a successor, and run again next quarter. Reversibility is a feature, not a fallback.

03 · The journey

Fifteen years of
enterprise change.

Cloudhouse didn't start with a product. It started with a problem nobody else wanted to solve, and a customer base that wouldn't let it sit still.

2010Founded

Mat Clothier founds Cloudhouse in the South West of England.

A simple bet: enterprises shouldn't have to choose between modern platforms and the apps that pay the bills. The first product takes legacy Windows applications and makes them run, unchanged, on whatever the customer needs to migrate to next.

2014Scale

Banks, governments and airlines start arriving.

Server 2003 end-of-support pulls Cloudhouse into the deep end of regulated industries. The platform becomes a fixture in financial services, public sector and critical infrastructure programmes across the UK and Australasia.

2018Visibility

Guardian launches: continuous configuration intelligence.

A decade of migration work makes one thing obvious: the migration is never the hardest part, the months and years of unmonitored change after it are. Guardian is built to make that drift visible, evidenced, and reconciled, in real time, across hybrid estates.

2022Acceleration

VMware shockwaves and a wave of cloud migrations.

Broadcom's acquisition of VMware rewrites the economics of every enterprise virtual estate overnight. Cloudhouse customers need to package, replatform and modernise faster than their roadmaps allow. Foundry steps up.

2025Platform

Three products. One platform. One thesis.

Guardian, Foundry and Alchemy unify into a single platform for enterprise change, configuration visibility, application packaging at scale, and legacy modernisation, sold and run as one. Headquartered at Venture X White City, London.

2026Now

New solutions for infrastructure modernisation.

Cloudhouse releases a new wave of solutions targeting infrastructure modernisation, reimagining the packaging and deployment experience for applications, and bringing unparalleled visibility, context and understanding of Change across complex technology landscapes. Cloudhouse transforms how businesses view, manage and evolve through Change in the new economy.

06 · Where we work

London headquarters.
Global change.

Cloudhouse runs out of one office and one engineering organisation, deliberately. Customers in Sydney, Toronto, Stockholm and the City of London talk to the same product team. Our belief is simple: enterprise change is too important to outsource to a regional reseller and forget about.
