Description

Control Plane is the platform for running unbreakable apps and agents. It combines any cloud, neocloud, and bare metal, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and your own Kubernetes clusters, into one Global Virtual Cloud. Every workload runs active-active across the locations you choose, and a global endpoint sends each request to the nearest healthy location, so a zone, region, or provider outage does not take your service down. It runs serverless, standard, stateful, cron, and VM workloads with no application changes. Workloads reach 600+ AWS, GCP, and Azure services through Universal Cloud Identity, with no long-lived cloud keys in code, and Cloud Wormhole connects them to private VPCs and data centers. Autoscaling, observability, mutual TLS, secrets, and an audit trail are built in, with no Kubernetes cluster to operate. Customers typically cut compute costs 30 to 50 percent compared with running directly on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Description

Platform9 Private Cloud Director turns existing servers and storage into a fully featured private cloud. It provides a fast and efficient method for organizations to migrate away from VMware, with minimal disruption. Enterprise IT teams get a familiar virtualization management experience and a true drop-in replacement for VMware vSphere features, offering all critical enterprise features out of the box: Virtual Machine (VM) High Availability, live migration (vMotion equivalent), Dynamic Resource Rebalancing (VMware DRS equivalent), VM cloning, snapshots, templates, software-defined networking, and secure multi-tenancy. Unlike other solutions that may require proprietary hyperconverged infrastructure or re-platforming to Kubernetes, Private Cloud Director works with existing environments—including servers from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and storage systems from NetApp, Tintri, Pure Storage, and more. Private Cloud Director can be deployed as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments, giving IT teams complete control over their operating model. With Platform9’s free vJailbreak tool, enterprises can perform automated migrations of entire VMware vSphere clusters to Private Cloud Director—including complex VM configurations, multiple datastores, and advanced network policies—at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional approaches. Private Cloud Director supports both VMs and container workloads on a single unified platform, enabling a gradual transition to cloud-native architecture without disrupting current operations. Private Cloud Director can be deployed flexibly as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments.
