We build infrastructure software, too
OslonIT owns and develops the Karlonet (KNet) family of products: infrastructure software for IT teams, self-hosted on your own servers.
KNet SAM
One web console for your servers and workstations. A small agent on each Linux, Windows or macOS machine connects out to your own KNet SAM server, so nothing has to be opened inbound on the machines.
KNet SAM on karlonet.comKNet DIR
A private Docker image registry on your own servers, with a web interface to browse and manage your images. You push and pull with the standard Docker CLI.
KNet DIR on karlonet.comKNet IPAM
IP address management for IT teams. It is not released yet; we will announce it on karlonet.com when it is ready.
KNet IPAM on karlonet.comFrom first question to hand-over
Understand
We start with what the network has to do, what it has to protect and what already exists.
Design
We write the design down, so you and your own people can read it, question it and keep it.
Build
We implement hands-on, test against the design and plan the cut-over around your business.
Hand over
We document what we built and make sure the people who run it understand it.
