Platform9: Private Clouds Made Easy
Platform9 is the leader in simplifying enterprise private clouds.
Enterprises are struggling to find a better way to run their cloud infrastructure: on the one hand, they have woken up to the staggering true cost of public cloud providers, and on the other hand, they are also painfully aware of the daunting virtualization costs and engineering complexity of running a private cloud. Platform9 provides the solution: a better way to deploy, operate, and scale private clouds.
The company’s flagship product, Private Cloud Director, delivers an open, comprehensive private cloud platform that is developer-friendly and cost-effective while enabling enterprise IT teams with critical capabilities they need to modernize their legacy virtualized infrastructure.
Platform9 was founded by a team of VMware cloud pioneers and has over 20,000 nodes in production at some of the world's largest enterprises, including Cloudera, EBSCO, Juniper Networks, and Rackspace. Platform9 is an inclusive, globally distributed company backed by prominent investors, committed to driving private cloud innovation and efficiency.
All this means that the future for Platform9, for our customers, and for our team is bright and exciting. We’re big enough that we have survived many market shifts and economic climates, and we are small enough that we retain a high-energy start-up culture. We value customer obsession, innovation, openness, bias towards action, and speed. And we are looking to add a seasoned cloud talent to our tight-knit team.
