Manage VMs, Containers and Bare Metal
Why Triton Compute?
Gain Flexibility and Control
The same software that we use to operate the Triton Compute service is open source and can be deployed as a private cloud in less than an hour.
Get Expert Support
In our cloud or yours, or in a private zone or cloud that we manage for you, get unparalleled support from experienced engineers and operators.
Lower Your Costs
Leverage private deployment options and Triton's container-native architecture to optimize the economics of your cloud and cut your cloud bills by 50% or more.
Triton Compute Solution Architecture
What Capabilities Does Triton Compute Provide?
Unified VM + Container Management
Triton provides a single portal and API for managing both containers and VMs. Run Docker and Linux images on VMs or directly on bare metal, with Triton Containers. Run Windows workloads on Triton Virtual Machines.
Simplified Container Operations
Docker-native tools make deploying containers on Triton as easy as running Docker on your laptop. There is no special software to install or configure, and no complex host management is required.
High Performance Options
Docker and Linux images can securely run on Triton Containers on bare metal (without VM hosts), for unmatched peformance and efficiency, and can be dynamically resized with zero down time.
Built-in Container Security
Full isolation per container in a multi-tenant environment. Triton leverages Zones, a hardened container runtime environment for security. Patented resource protections enable multi-tenancy, insulate containers from noisy neighbors and ensure that each container gets its fair share of I/O.
Built-in Container Networking
Each Triton container has its own unique IP address. User-defined networking makes it easy to create private layer 2 and layer 3 networks to connect everything exactly as you want. Integrated, per-instance firewalls make it just as easy to isolate and protect containers and VMs on the network.
Built-in Container Storage
Triton leverages ZFS for high performance storage virtualization. Secure, isolated, resizable filesystems for each container and VM makes storage management easy, and frees container storage from complex VM host dependencies.
Naming and Load Balancing
Triton Container Name Service (CNS) provides universal DNS for your containers and VMs, serving address records (A and AAAA) by instance name & tags. Triton CNS can also be used to address basic load balancing requirements.
Infrastructure Monitoring
Triton Cloud Analytics provides real-time performance monitoring that you can use to uncover bottlenecks in cloud and container infrastructure and accelerate troubleshooting.
Support for any Container Scheduler
Deploy Kubernetes, Mesos or other schedulers on Triton Virtual Machines, or leverage Docker-native tools like Compose with Triton Containers to get the full cost and performance benefits of Triton's container-native architecture.
