OpenZFS
Data integrity checksums, snapshots, clones, replication, compression and workload-specific dataset and block volume settings.
Extensible open-source technology
A solid core. An adaptable architecture.
Built from illumos, OpenZFS and Debian-oriented userland components, DilOS provides reusable capabilities for infrastructure products tailored to individual business and operational requirements.
Platform architecture

Core capabilities
Technologies that make DilOS extensible
▦
illumos Zones
Lightweight isolation for application environments sharing a common operating system kernel.
◫
bhyve
Hardware-assisted virtual machines for workloads that need a separate guest operating system, subject to compatibility testing.
⌘
Virtual Networking
Networking primitives and isolated subnets to support segmented and virtualized infrastructure.
▣
Debian-Oriented Userland
APT and DPKG-based software management with package availability depending on ports and the supported DilOS version.
↺
ZFS Boot Environments
Keep alternate bootable operating system states available to support reversible system update workflows.
Extend the core
Built for individual business requirements.
New drivers, storage and networking services, package sets, secure management interfaces, automation and specialized integrations can be engineered around the foundation.

Source & documentation
Explore the open platform
Review the project documentation and source repositories to understand DilOS and plan integration work.
DilOS is a technology foundation and integration platform. Production readiness, interoperability, certified security or regulatory compliance are not implied for any particular deployment; these require customer-specific evaluation and validation.
Tailored engineering
Turn core capabilities into a customer solution.
Design, integration, implementation, validation and ongoing maintenance can be defined for each specific project.
