Virtualisation standard
Every image runs on KVM/QEMU
Every Data Sole® image is built, optimised, and tested for KVM/QEMU, our cloud standard virtualisation environment.
This provides a consistent, well-understood virtual machine foundation designed for reliable deployment across compatible KVM/QEMU infrastructure. Whether you are running your workload on Data Sole or another supported KVM-based environment, our images are prepared with portability, performance, and straightforward deployment in mind.
Use standard KVM/QEMU tooling and compatible image formats to deploy, manage, migrate, and operate your virtual machines.
For local or independent deployments, you can obtain the required KVM/QEMU components and documentation directly from the official Linux KVM and QEMU projects.
Compatibility disclaimer
Our images are built for KVM/QEMU. If you use a different virtualisation platform — such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon (AWS), Microsoft Azure or VMware — you may be able to convert and install them, but compatibility isn't guaranteed and falls outside toolkits support.

Data Sole PenTest Cloud Super+
x86_64 · QCOW2 · 13.87
Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ is a ready-to-deploy, preconfigured Kali Linux virtual machine image designed for cybersecurity professionals, authorized penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, security laboratories, network analysis, software development, DevSecOps and cloud administration. It provides a comprehensive working environment combining Kali Linux security applications with development tools, container platforms, networking utilities, database clients and everyday desktop software. The image includes security tooling for information gathering, vulnerability assessment, web application testing, network analysis, packet inspection, password auditing, digital forensics and reverse engineering. Popular security applications and utilities include Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite and Metasploit, together with specialist Kali Linux security packages. The development environment supports Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Git, CMake and GCC, allowing the same virtual machine to be used for security research, scripting, automation, DevSecOps and application development. Docker, Docker Compose and Podman are also available for running isolated applications, development environments, databases and laboratory services. For network and cloud administration, the image includes OpenSSH, tcpdump, Wireshark, Nmap, iperf3, MTR, DNS utilities, curl, wget, rsync, tmux, htop and additional Linux administration tools. Database utilities provide support for PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL-compatible systems, Redis and SQLite, while additional database environments can be deployed through containers. Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ also functions as a complete desktop workstation, with applications such as Firefox ESR, Chromium, LibreOffice, VLC, GIMP, FileZilla, Remmina, KeePassXC and other productivity utilities. The image is designed primarily for KVM/QEMU and compatible cloud virtual machine infrastructure and provides both a graphical Kali Linux desktop and full terminal environment. Data Sole Kali PenTest Cloud Super+ provides one environment for cybersecurity, authorized penetration testing, development, DevSecOps, networking, containers, cloud administration and security laboratories. Deploy the virtual machine, update Kali Linux and start working. Cybersecurity and penetration-testing tools must only be used on infrastructure that you own or have explicit authorization to assess. Software versions and package availability may change as Kali Linux repositories and included third-party projects are updated.
Data Sole Super Sol Cloud Construction+
x86_64 · QCOW2 ·
Data Sole SuperSol Cloud Construction+ (2027 v2) is a comprehensive Windows 11 Pro 64-bit virtual engineering workstation built to bring civil engineering, structural analysis, BIM, infrastructure design, construction coordination, GIS and Python-based engineering computing together in a single cloud environment. Designed for engineers, structural designers, BIM professionals, construction teams, researchers and engineering students, it provides a ready-to-use software environment intended to cut down on workstation setup time and give teams a centralized platform for demanding engineering workflows, all running on a Windows 11 Pro 64-bit foundation with the Microsoft Visual C++ and .NET runtime components required to support CAD, BIM, analysis and development applications. The workstation includes a full Autodesk engineering and BIM suite: AutoCAD 2027 for 2D drafting, technical documentation and 3D CAD; Civil 3D 2027 for terrain and surface modelling, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, drainage and infrastructure documentation; Revit 2027 for multidisciplinary building information modelling, structural modelling, documentation and coordinated BIM workflows; Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2027 for structural modelling, finite-element analysis, load analysis and engineering design; Navisworks Manage 2027 for multidisciplinary model aggregation, BIM coordination, project review, simulation and clash detection; InfraWorks 2027 for conceptual infrastructure planning and large-scale contextual modelling of roads, bridges and transportation projects; Advance Steel 2027 for structural-steel modelling, detailing and fabrication documentation; ReCap Pro 2027 for reality-capture and point-cloud work in laser scanning, surveying and existing-condition modelling; 3ds Max 2027 for professional 3D modelling, rendering and visualization; and Autodesk Construction Cloud tools for cloud-based document management, BIM collaboration and construction coordination, subject to the user's own Autodesk services and entitlements. Beyond Autodesk, the machine brings together several major structural engineering ecosystems, including CSI ETABS for integrated analysis and design of buildings and multistorey structures, CSI SAFE for concrete floor systems, slabs and foundations, CSI SAP2000 for general-purpose structural and finite-element analysis across buildings, bridges and industrial structures, Tekla Structures for detailed structural BIM modelling in steel, concrete and reinforcement, Tekla Structural Designer for integrated structural analysis and design, and Bentley STAAD.Pro for structural analysis and design across a wide range of materials and geometries. For geospatial work, QGIS delivers a professional open-source GIS for spatial analysis, mapping and coordinate systems, and pairs naturally with Civil 3D and InfraWorks to move smoothly between GIS data, civil design and visualization. MATLAB is also included as a numerical computing environment for engineering mathematics, modelling, data processing and research, with available toolboxes depending on the user's own MathWorks licence and entitlements. A full Python engineering and scientific-computing stack rounds out the environment, with NumPy, SciPy and SymPy for numerical and symbolic computation, pandas for structured data processing, Matplotlib and Plotly for visualization, JupyterLab for interactive notebooks and reproducible workflows, OpenSeesPy and PyNite for structural and earthquake-engineering simulation, anaStruct for 2D structural analysis, sectionproperties for cross-section analysis, GeoPandas, Shapely and Rasterio for geospatial data and geometry, scikit-learn for machine learning on engineering data, and Visual Studio Code as the development environment for scripting and automation. Together these tools mean that instead of preparing separate workstations for CAD, BIM, structural analysis, GIS and engineering programming, Construction+ delivers civil engineering, structural engineering, BIM, construction engineering, infrastructure design, finite element analysis, steel detailing, concrete design, GIS, survey and point cloud work, engineering visualization, numerical computing, engineering data science and Python automation from within a single Windows cloud workstation. Data Sole SuperSol Cloud Construction+ provides the configured workstation environment and its installed software components, but commercial third-party software may require the customer to provide, activate or sign in with their own valid licence, subscription, educational entitlement or trial account, and availability and use of Autodesk, CSI, Tekla, Bentley, MATLAB and other third-party commercial products remain subject to the respective vendors' own licensing terms; Data Sole does not represent any third-party commercial software licence as included unless this is expressly stated in the applicable product offering.
