Platform9 is an enterprise private cloud company whose flagship Private Cloud Director is a full-featured VMware alternative for running virtual machines and containers on your own hardware. Built on a hardened OpenStack and Kubernetes foundation, it delivers high availability, live migration, dynamic resource rebalancing, and multi-tenancy, and exposes an OpenStack-compatible REST API (Keystone identity, Nova compute, Cinder block storage, Neutron networking, Glance images, and a Kubernetes service) together with the unified pcdctl CLI so teams can automate compute, storage, networking, and cluster operations programmatically at scale. Platform9 also offers Managed OpenStack, Managed Kubernetes, a free Community Edition, and the vJailbreak VMware migration tool.
