Overview
What is Platform9 Managed OpenStack (PMO)
Platform9 Managed OpenStack (PMO) is a SaaS-Managed OpenStack offering that enables you to create an agile private cloud deployment on your infrastructure that is fully automated and highly scalable. PMO deploys, manages, upgrades, and monitors your OpenStack cloud on your infrastructure located on-premises, in colocations or at the edge. PMO simplifies all aspects of operating a virtualized private cloud environment at scale by remotely managing and monitoring every component of your private cloud deployment.
PMO is deployed using a unique and powerful Software-as-a-Service model, where a cloud hosted management plane remotely deploys, manages, monitors and upgrades your OpenStack private cloud environment on your on-premises infrastructure, including your servers, storage, networking. This deployment model enables us to guarantee 24x7x365 SLA for your virtualized environment.
PMO is made up of core OpenStack components including: Nova, Neutron, Ironic, Glance, Cinder, Heat and Keystone, building the foundation to run an effective private cloud.
As a cloud administrator or a self-service user, you can set up and interact with various components of PMO through the Clarity SaaS portal, with zero knowledge of OpenStack, or OpenStack CLI commands. With a few simple clicks, your Platform9 dashboard starts offering visibility into your infrastructure across compute, storage, network, and existing workloads — and your OpenStack cloud is live. And as a Platform9 cloud administrator, you can configure and manage OpenStack resources that are to be used by self-service users, with Clarity.
