Platform

One platform for every site.
Simple to run.

Virtual machines, containers, storage and networking on servers you already own, or in the cloud you already use. Every site, every node and every workload, from one portal.

01What runs on it

Everything a site needs, on one fabric.

No separate hypervisor, storage array, container platform and network tool to buy, license and patch. Kantrix runs all of it on the same nodes.

Virtual machines

Windows and Linux, side by side

Start from a built-in image or your own ISO. VMs boot with UEFI, Secure Boot and a virtual TPM, and Windows installs need no extra drivers.

Containers and apps

Apps from Hub, or your own

Deploy ready-made apps from Hub, or your own containers and apps, to any node, on the same hardware as your VMs.

Storage

Two copies or three, on separate nodes

In a cluster, each VM's disk is copied to a second node by default (RF2). Choose three copies on three nodes (RF3) for the workloads that matter most, so a failed server doesn't take its data with it.

Networking

Sites joined, nothing exposed

Nodes connect out over encrypted links. You don't open inbound ports or put anything on the public internet.

Security

Every login and change on record

Authenticator apps and passkeys for every user, roles for each person, and an audit trail of every change that no one can edit or delete, not even us.

Hardware passthrough

Give a VM the whole GPU

Assign a node's GPU directly to a VM, so AI workloads run on hardware you own. How it works ↓

02Talk to your infrastructure

Say what you need. Kantrix builds it.

Describe it in plain words in the portal: a file server for the new office, a test copy of the accounting VM, room for a new app. Kantrix works out the VMs, storage and networking, and builds it on your nodes.

  • You see the plan before anything is created
  • It can only do what your role allows
  • Every change it makes goes in the audit trail, like any other

03Hardware passthrough

AI workloads, on your own hardware.

Pass a node's GPU straight through to a VM. The VM gets the card itself, with its own driver and its full memory, so training and inference run at the speed of the hardware. Your data stays on servers you own, at the site you choose.

  • Choose the device and the VM from the node's page
  • Install the vendor's own driver inside the VM
  • No extra charge. A node with a GPU costs the same as any other node

Needs a server with IOMMU turned on in its firmware (Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi). Your partner can check yours.

04How it works

Install, enrol, run.

  1. 1

    Install

    Boot a server from the Kantrix installer, or start a VM in your cloud. One install, no separate hypervisor.

  2. 2

    Enrol

    Scan the code on the node's screen with your phone, and it joins your fleet at the right site.

  3. 3

    Run

    Create VMs, deploy apps and add nodes to a cluster from the portal, for one site or a hundred.

Nodes need wired Ethernet with DHCP and outbound internet access.

05Built for real sites

For the back room, not the data center.

Most businesses don't have a server room, a storage team or a spare rack. Kantrix is built for two servers in a closet as much as for twenty.

Start with two nodes

A two-node cluster with a witness keeps a copy of every disk on each server. No third box to buy.

When the internet drops

VMs on replicated storage keep running if the site loses its internet link.

Bring your own backup

Keep the backup product you trust inside each VM. Kantrix works alongside it.

06Any hardware. Any cloud.

We don't care what it runs on.

A server in the back room and a VM in a public cloud are both nodes in one fleet. No hardware list to buy from, and no capacity to license.

Your vendor, your pricingBuy servers from whoever you already buy from. Kantrix runs on any x86 machine.
You own it. Use all of it.Every core, every gigabyte, every terabyte. We don't meter it and we don't cap it.
Cloud in the same fleetCloud VMs join as nodes beside your on-site servers, at the same price per node.
07Questions

About the platform.

What hardware do I need?

Any x86 server with wired Ethernet. For GPU passthrough, the server also needs IOMMU turned on in its firmware.

What does it cost?

Two nodes are free. Beyond that, your partner quotes you. The MSRP is $150 USD per node, per month, for the whole platform, on any hardware or in any cloud.

Does a node with a GPU cost more?

No. A node is a node, whatever is in it.

Can I keep my backup product?

Yes. Run its agent inside each VM, as you do today.

Where is the portal hosted?

Your workloads and their data stay on your nodes. Read the security overview.

See it on your own hardware.

A partner near you can run Kantrix on one of your servers and show you.
