Piston Enterprise OS, or pentOS™, is cloud operating software built on OpenStack™.
Overview:
- Quickly scale compute and storage capacity by simply adding more servers
- Automatically receive rigorously tested and validated security updates across your cloud
- Depend on enterprise level support with engineers on hand 24x7x365
- Gain interoperability with other OpenStack™ powered public and private cloud solutions
Additional Benefits:
Easy to Use: The pentOS™ CloudKey™ enables enterprises to build a fully functional, secure private cloud in under 10 minutes using off-the-shelf hardware. Simply plug in your physical servers, configure and insert your pentOS CloudKey into an appropriate switch, turn it on, and go!
Secure: pentOS is designed to be secure, beginning with installation by minimizing employee interaction with unsecured servers and potential tampering during configuration. pentOS itself runs atop a custom-built Linux distribution designed to minimize security exposure.
Avoid Vendor Lock-In: With pentOS, there are no specialized appliances placing demands on your cloud hosting infrastructure, and open source means you are not locked into a proprietary vendor.
Flexible: A selection of commodity hardware from partners allows you to grow your cloud according to your unique needs. You choose the configuration that’s right for your business, and how much or how little of your cloud is exposed to the world.
Open and Modular Architecture: The modular architecture integrates with a wide range of legacy and third-party technologies. And since pentOS is compatible with public OpenStack, you will be able to easily migrate data and applications to public clouds.
