Democratizing Cloud Computing

With an open, distributed architecture and 100% open-source components

Platform9 delivers upstream, open-source technologies as easily consumable SaaS.

Service endpoints offered by Platform9 are 100% open source without any proprietary lock-in. Platform9 fully manages them via a SaaS control plane, guaranteeing a 99.9% uptime SLA with world-class support.

A Fully Managed Distributed Cloud Service

Delivering centrally managed, open-source, cloud-native services to distributed infrastructure via a SaaS control plane

DIY open-source deployments for mission-critical applications are challenging to manage and support at scale. With Platform9, you simply consume the service on any infrastructure of your choice without worrying about management tasks such as upgrades, patches, backup, and scaling.

To ensure reliability, Platform9 works with mature and de-facto open-source frameworks such as:

Kubernetes for container management
OpenStack and KubeVirt for VM management
Metal3 for bare metal host provisioning
Calico for networking
Prometheus for monitoring

Why Consume Open-Source Software as SaaS?

Leverage the latest and greatest innovations from vibrant open-source communities without the risk and complexity.

Future-proof your solution so you can just as easily consume the next open-source revolution with a SaaS delivery model.

Avoid lock-in and be portable and interoperable across any environment or cloud provider.

Save costs with SaaS and open-source solutions vs. DlY staffing costs and vendor licensing fees.
