About Platon

Platon Tecnologia em Nuvem, operating as platon.com.br, is a Brazilian infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) firm established on July 27, 2012, in Lages, Santa Catarina. The company was conceptualized as a tribute to the Greek philosopher Plato, aiming to rethink existing technology solutions to foster constant development.

The firm targets a diverse client base, from small businesses to large enterprises, offering an alternative to global cloud providers. Its business model centers on providing flexible, high-performance cloud infrastructure services without mandatory long-term contracts, with pricing in Brazilian Reais for cost predictability. Revenue is generated directly from the sale of its hosting and infrastructure services.

Platon’s service portfolio includes a suite of cloud solutions built on servers located in Brazil to ensure low latency for local clients. Key offerings are Platon Cloud, a scalable and secure cloud computing environment; Platon Bare Metal, which provides dedicated physical servers for clients requiring high performance and complete control; and Platon Colocation, allowing businesses to house their own server hardware within Platon's modern data centers. The company also provides robust backup solutions, including a white-label option for resellers. The technical infrastructure utilizes KVM hypervisors, IBM storage with SSDs for performance, and includes features like daily backups and high availability as standard.
