Migrate Without the Migraine
Platform9 replaces your entire VMware stack in one product, on the hardware you already own, with minimal downtime.

Everything VMware Charged You Extra For — Included
If you’re like most displaced VCSP’s, you’re managing separate VMware products for virtualization, networking, automation, and identity—each with its own cost and operational overhead. Private Cloud Director consolidates those capabilities into a single product with per-core pricing. This isn’t a downgrade from VMware Cloud Foundation; it’s an upgrade from vSphere.
Built-In Multi-Tenancy
Each customer gets their own tenant with enforced quotas across compute, storage, and network — plus self-service provisioning within the guardrails you define. No additional automation product required.
SaaS Management Plane
Every core in your data center runs customer workloads, not management VMs. The Private Cloud Director management plane runs in Platform9’s cloud, included in the per-core price. More billable cores. Better margins.
Per-Core Pricing, One SKU
Linear cost scaling, predictable margins, no SKU complexity. Your Private Cloud Director cost maps directly to the infrastructure packages you sell to customers. Model it once, forecast it forever.
Built For How MSPs Actually Operate
Migrate your customers without downtime, isolate their environments by default, and run it all on the hardware you already own.
Migrate Customers Without Downtime
vJailbreak handles the full migration path — snapshot, copy, convert, boot — while your source VMs keep running. Warm migration with change block tracking means the actual cutover is minutes, not hours. Your customers never notice.
Tenant Isolation Your Customers Can Trust
Every customer gets a hard-isolated tenant with enforced quotas, self-service provisioning, and their own network boundaries. Delegated ops let your customers manage their own VMs without crossing into anyone else’s environment. No Aria Automation required.
Your Hardware. Your Margins. Your Platform.
Private Cloud Director runs on your existing servers and SAN/NAS storage. Existing NetApp, Pure Storage, Dell, Tintri, Veeam, Rubrik, HPE arrays integrate directly. No forklift. No hyperconverged lock-in. No new procurement cycle before you can start migrating.
Ready to Own Your Platform?
Whether you’re starting to evaluate or ready to scope a migration plan, our MSP team can walk you through how Private Cloud Director fits your provider environment. Your hardware, your customers, your timeline.
What’s Included for Service Providers
Everything you need to run a multi-tenant provider environment — all in a single SKU at a per-core price.
Multi-Tenancy with Enforced Quotas
Hard resource boundaries per customer across compute, storage, and network. Out of the box.
Self-Service Provisioning
Your customers deploy VMs, create networks, and manage security groups — within the guardrails you set.
Built-In SDN (OVS/OVN)
Network isolation per tenant, distributed routing, DHCP, IPAM, microsegmentation. No separate NSX license.
Load Balancer as a Service
L4 load balancing via Octavia with no dedicated LB VMs consuming resources. Near-instant creation.
Enterprise SSO (SAML 2.0)
Federate each customer domain with their own IdP. Okta, Microsoft Entra ID — inherits existing MFA and policies.
DNS as a Service
Multi-tenant DNS management via Designate. Tenants manage their own zones and records through UI, CLI, or API.
The MSP Path Off VMware
Migrate with vJailbreak
Free, open-source, automated. Warm migration with change block tracking. Non-destructive — source VMs stay untouched. In-place host conversion turns ESXi hosts into Private Cloud Director hypervisors. We offer the fastest migration path in the market.
Land on Familiar Ground
Simple Networks let VMs land with the same VLAN-based connectivity they had in vSphere. Transition to managed SDN on your schedule — no forced networking re-architecture on day one.
Deploy Your Way
SaaS-managed, self-hosted, or fully air-gapped. Match the deployment model to the compliance requirements of each customer segment — healthcare, finance, government, or general commercial.
