Platform9 Freedom. iShift Reliability.
Run Kubernetes everywhere with zero friction. iShift combines Platform9’s SaaS-managed control plane with our implementation expertise to give you an “always-on” cloud experience on any infrastructure.
Why iShift for Platform9?
As a Platform9 Premier Partner, iShift delivers the freedom of open source cloud infrastructure with the simplicity of a managed service plus intelligent automation that takes operations to the next level. We help organizations break free from proprietary platforms and maintain enterprise-grade reliability and security.
Platform9’s SaaS-managed approach already eliminates 80% of traditional infrastructure overhead. iShift amplifies this by layering AI-driven automation on top, creating truly autonomous Kubernetes and private cloud environments.
Whether you are modernizing applications, escaping VMware, or building a cloud-native infrastructure, we architect solutions that give you complete control without operational burden.
Organizations working with iShift and Platform9 achieve production Kubernetes in weeks (not months), reduce infrastructure costs by 40-60%, and free DevOps teams to focus on innovation not platform management.
