AethOS: Federated cloud & edge orchestrator

Status: Closed beta / internal release

AethOS: The Operating System for a Distributed World

The modern infrastructure landscape is currently defined by a profound lack of agency. Enterprises find themselves caught between predatory licensing shifts from legacy virtualization monopolies and the opaque, proprietary silos of the major cloud providers. This infrastructure hostage situation forces companies to pay a heavy tax on their own compute power while struggling to manage the fragmented gap between their cloud instances and their physical edge hardware.

AethOS is a federated cloud and edge orchestrator designed to reclaim that agency. It acts as the unified fabric that treats your entire infrastructure—whether it sits in a public cloud, a private data center, or a warehouse floor—as a single, logical, and verifiable environment.

The Core Problem: The Hypervisor Tax

For decades, the industry relied on a few dominant virtualization players to manage their metal. Recent market shifts have transformed these essential tools into predatory overhead, with licensing costs skyrocketing even as the underlying technology stagnates. This has created a massive demand for an infrastructure exodus toward open, AI-native alternatives.

The AethOS Approach

We provide a modern destination for those migrating away from legacy hypervisors. AethOS is built to be lightweight and federated from day one. It doesn’t just virtualize your hardware; it orchestrates your logic across disparate clusters without the bloat or the restrictive licensing of the past.

Federated Multi-Cloud Management

AethOS eliminates the need to learn and manage three different proprietary cloud stacks. It provides a cloud-agnostic management layer that allows you to define tenants and spin up clusters across AWS, GCP, Azure, or private bare metal through a single interface.

  • Unified Fabric: Manage multi-cloud and on-prem assets as one coherent system.
  • Outbound-Only Connectivity: By leveraging the same NATS technology found in Kanshin, AethOS maintains secure control of your clusters without requiring dangerous inbound firewall holes.
  • Determinism at Scale: Deployments are governed by the same verifiable logic synthesized in the Mushin Workbench, ensuring that your ops environment matches your design intent perfectly.

The Physical World OS: Edge and IoT

While traditional orchestrators struggle with the last mile, AethOS was built for the physical world. It is the core engine for Software Defined Buildings (SDB), industrial automation, and smart warehouses.

  • Edge Native: AethOS is designed to run on the constrained hardware found in factories and IoT gateways.
  • Resilient Execution: If a site loses its cloud connection, the local AethOS node continues to manage the facility’s mission-critical logic based on the last known verified state.
  • FDIR Integration: In Phase 2, AethOS will natively execute the Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery patterns synthesized by the Mushin Engine, allowing for self-healing industrial infrastructure.

Product Features

  1. Federated Cluster Management (Available Now)

    • Our core orchestration layer allows you to manage disparate clusters across public and private clouds as a single logical entity.
  2. Hybrid Edge Control (Available Now)

    • Extend your cloud logic to physical locations. Manage on-prem servers and IoT gateways with the same ease as a cloud instance.
  3. Visual IoT Logic Orchestration (V2 / Coming Soon)

    • A modern, flow-based visual node editor allows you to manage your IoT logic directly from the cloud. This environment enables the creation of custom schedules and complex automation sequences that are deployed and executed at the edge.
  4. Protocol Adapters and Device Organization (V2 / Coming Soon)

    • AethOS will feature native support for essential industrial protocols including ModBus, BACnet, and OPC-UA. Devices can be organized using the ISA-95 industry standard, providing a hierarchical asset model that ensures your digital infrastructure mirrors your physical reality.
  5. Automated Migration Pipelines (Coming Soon / V2)

    • Integrated tools for converting legacy virtual machine images into AethOS-native containers and micro-services.

Pricing: Transparent and Predictable

We have rejected the industry standard of per-core or per-RAM taxes that penalize you for scaling.

  • Minimal Cluster Entry: Generally starts at $750 per month. This provides the foundational, managed orchestration layer required for enterprise-grade federated environments.
  • Usage-Based Compute: You pay only for the actual compute scaling you use, with no hidden overhead or predatory licensing tiers.
  • Custom Estimates: Since every infrastructure is unique, please contact us for a comprehensive estimate tailored to your specific scale and performance requirements.
