> The 60-Day Production Guarantee lets you define your first production milestone and reach it within 60 days, with no payment due at signing. If we miss it, you de-book with no penalty and no invoice. The private cloud experience that removes Linux administration from the operator’s job. Deploy, operate, and upgrade an enterprise-grade KVM private cloud from a single bootable ISO. No Linux shell required.
