About Platform9
Platform9 is a platform for building and managing Kubernetes clusters anywhere—on-prem, public clouds, or edge—to give enterprises a familiar private cloud experience with Kubernetes built in. It supports in-place cluster conversion to reduce migration costs and helps teams move off VMware with minimal disruption.
Key Features
When moving off VMware, teams rely on Platform9 to run both VMs and Kubernetes from a single control plane across locations:
Unified management plane
Manage VMs and containers in a single control surface, with built-in Kubernetes and a familiar UI.
Automated VMware migration tooling (vJailbreak)
In-place conversion from VMware environments to Platform9, reducing migration costs and downtime.
VMware-like core capabilities
High availability, live migration (vMotion), and dynamic resource rebalancing (DRS-like) without vendor lock.
Hardware and storage compatibility
Works with Dell EMC, NetApp, Pure Storage, HPE, and other infrastructure so you don’t have to re-platform.
Summary
Best for platform teams, IT operations migrating from VMware, and enterprise private-cloud admins.
