Cloud

Every cloud your customers use.
One fleet.

Your customers don't live in one place. Some workloads sit in the back room, some in AWS, some in whichever cloud gave them credits. Kantrix puts all of it in one fleet you run from one portal, at one price per node.

01Two ways in

Run on the cloud. See into the cloud.

Cloud nodes

A cloud VM becomes a Kantrix node.

Start a VM in any cloud, paste one block of setup into the provider's own console, and it joins the fleet. It runs VMs, containers and apps like every other node, and it costs the same.

  • No cloud credentials shared with us to add a node
  • Sits beside on-site servers in the same fleet
  • Same price per node, wherever it runs
Cloud accounts

Your customers' cloud accounts, in the same portal.

Connect a customer's AWS account and see what's running there beside their sites. Start, stop, reboot, tag and resize instances without switching consoles.

  • AWS
  • Every customer's accounts kept apart, like everything else
02What it means for you

Five consoles, five bills. Or one.

One portal for the whole customer

Servers, cloud VMs and cloud accounts in one view. Your technicians learn one tool, not five.

One price, wherever it runs

A node in the back room and a node in the cloud cost the same. Your quote stays simple.

A better answer to VMware

Not every customer wants new hardware. Put some workloads on servers, some in the cloud, and run both for them.

03Any hardware. Any cloud.

We don't care what's under a node.

Not in the back room, and not in the cloud. You choose where every workload runs.

  • Buy servers from the vendor you already partner with, and get better pricing on hardware you trust.
  • Use the cloud your customer already has an account with, or the one with the best price this year.
  • You own the hardware, or you rent it. Either way, use all of it. We don't meter it and we don't cap it.
04Add a cloud node

Three steps, in the cloud's own console.

  1. 1Start a VMIn the customer's cloud account, or yours.
  2. 2Paste the Kantrix setupOne block, copied from your portal into the provider's console when you create the VM.
  3. 3Enrol itAssign it to a customer and a site, and run workloads on it from the portal.
05Design partners

Decide which clouds come next.

Which providers we add, and what you can do with them from the portal, is decided with our design partners, on their customers' real accounts.

06Questions

About cloud.

Does a cloud node cost more?

No. A node is a node, wherever it runs.

Who pays the cloud provider?

Whoever owns the account, you or your customer, pays the provider directly. Kantrix charges per node.

Do you need my customers' cloud credentials?

Not to add a cloud node: the setup goes into the provider's own console.

Does my customer's data move to your cloud?

No. Workloads stay on the nodes you choose, in the accounts you choose.

Bring every cloud your customers use into one fleet.

The application takes about five minutes.
