Platform9 Datasheet ! ! Solution Overview Summary Platform9 is the simplest way for enterprises to implement a private cloud, with intelligent, self-service provisioning of workloads onto their computing infrastructure. Our cloud service enables the use of existing and new virtualized servers to power private clouds in a minutes, while interoperating seamlessly with existing processes and management products. ! Features at-a-glance • Existing or new virtualized servers can power your private • • • • • cloud within minutes. Based on OpenStack, but delivered with unique IP to simplify the operational experience and reduce costs. Self-service virtual machine provisioning for dev/test users. Seamless integration with existing IT processes and environments. Easy, intuitive user interface and CLIs / REST APIs Support for KVM, with upcoming support for docker containers and VMware vSphere ! Target Audience • IT and dev/test leaders looking to empower their users with agile, self-service provisioning ! • Organizations looking for a private alternative to AWS Diﬀerentiators • 100% Cloud managed: Platform9 is delivered as a cloud • • service to provide the best possible user experience and lowest total cost of ownership. Single Pane of Glass: Our cloud service abstracts the diﬀerent regions that your servers might be located in. Platform9 supports multiple virtualization / container technologies, letting you mix and match workloads.
