ABOUT Carbon60
We’re on a mission to bring digital transformation to more Canadian businesses.
We’ve helped public and private-sector organizations securely leverage cloud connectivity, and we’ve seen — and helped mitigate — every type of challenge. Our cloud services have evolved through countless implementations, and our team has developed defined processes that ensure our customers are on the right track.
Our end-to-end approach to cloud
The growth in adoption of public cloud has been formidable. Cloud planning and strategy is critical, and making good choices for today — and tomorrow — is equally important. It takes the right strategy and technical talent to execute digital transformation using cloud. But strong talent is hard to find and retain. That’s where we come in.
We help businesses from startups, ISVs, agencies and enterprises to public-sector organizations with the planning, design, migration and Day 2 operations or specific cloud projects. We can do some or all of this based on your cloud capabilities as the pilot or co-pilot for your cloud journey.
All-in cloud support – for the win.
Our experience has shown us that how you approach transformation is critical — small choices can make the difference between success and costly wheel-spinning. We’re here to help our customers evolve with confidence.
We have roots in managed services to offer end-to-end multi-cloud design, migration and management to help more Canadian companies operate successfully in the cloud.
We have expertise across cloud platforms. In our view, the right platform — or combination of platforms — is the one that’s right for your business. In fact, we’re an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, Microsoft Azure Gold Partner and Google Cloud Premier Partner, and one of VMware’s largest Canadian service provider partners, supported by more than 75 certifications.
In simple terms, we can be the architect of your ‘cloud house,’ while also taking care of the framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, painting and landscaping — so you can focus on building applications and growing your business.

Our story
Carbon60 started out in 1999 as an infrastructure and security consulting company in Toronto, evolving into a managed hosting service provider. In 2019, we joined forces with GT.net in Vancouver and Cirrus9 in Saint John, N.B., both of which are managed hosting service providers with similar roots — deepening our regional and national coverage to serve Canadian enterprises.
In 2021, we acquired OpsGuru, an award-winning multi-cloud consultancy, to help our customers adopt cloud technologies, modernize their workflows to cloud-native designs and secure and optimize their systems. And with OpsGuru’s pre-built infrastructure-as-code templates using the signature Cloud Launchpad service, we can expedite your cloud migration from months to weeks.
We now employ more than 160 people, including certified cloud consultants and engineers across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, as well as a team of experts in Kubernetes — to help clients at any point on their cloud transformation journey.
What’s in a name? A lot.
The discovery of the Carbon60 molecule, or C60, was a scientific landmark opening up new fields of research into carbon nano-structures with extraordinary strength and conductive properties. Three remarkable properties of C60, a geodesic sphere known as a “Buckyball,” are its stability, flexibility and efficiency.
Due to its shape and the strength of the bonds between carbon atoms, the C60 molecule is the strongest and most stable molecule in the universe, along with diamonds. But, unlike diamonds, C60 is flexible like a soccer ball. There’s also an efficiency to its shape — analogous to the elegant architecture of geodesic domes popularized by Buckminster Fuller and from which the term “Buckyball” is derived.
These characteristics are equally important to the successful delivery of enterprise-class IT services: an ultra-reliable service with the flexibility to remain agile and secure.
We take a holistic approach to supporting our customers in industries including: ecommerce, retail, healthcare, financial services and the public sector.
