The notion of the traditional systems administrator is going away — but traditional systems administration work isn’t.
The major public cloud providers have automated the process of provisioning servers and configuring networks at a massive scale. Who is going to do that work in the private cloud?
Platina is filling the gap.
The Private Cloud Roadblock
There are many reasons to consider migrating to private cloud these days, including:
- more control;
- better data and workload placement;
- Increased security; and
- lower costs.
Complexity, however, has held many organizations back from making the move. Although much of the vendor-specific hardware once common in the enterprise data center now comes in a virtual machine (VM) or a container, those VMs and containers still need to run on a server connected to the network. And someone still needs to set that up.
Even the major components of modern cloud native infrastructure that aim to reduce complexity and help manage resources, such as Kubernetes and Ceph, assume that basic infrastructure and infrastructure management capabilities are already in place.
Public cloud providers have gone to great lengths to streamline and automate the provisioning and management of servers, storage and networking at scale through the use of APIs and Infrastructure as Code. At sub-rack or sub-megawatt deployment scale, however, this level of streamlined automation simply doesn't exist, leaving IT to go it alone — with a staff of DevOps engineers and site reliability engineers (SREs) who are focused on doing higher-value work.

A Simple Infrastructure Layer
What if you could manage your infrastructure just like the hyperscale public cloud providers do, but at private cloud scale?
That’s the vision Platina was founded on.
Platina Command Center enables on-premises orchestration of network, servers and storage within a single private portal. And because Platina makes this infrastructure layer so simple, the manual provisioning and configuration work that a traditional systems or network administrator would do can now be done by your remote hands staff in the data center or by a managed services provider.
That in turn frees up developers, SREs and security teams to focus on unlocking the value of their enterprise data.
Want to run your applications anywhere you choose — on-premises, colocation, at the edge — and eliminate the complexity of managing foundational infrastructure at scale?
