Geo-Aware Cloud Architecture

Distributed IT Capacity Architecture

Zero-OS implements a distributed architecture for generating compute, storage, and network capacity resources.

ZKube
- Kubernetes deployment architecture
Zero VM
- Container or virtual machine runtime environment within Zero-OS
CoreX
- Process management system (optional implementation) providing remote access to Zero VM instances

A node in this architecture consists of Zero-OS deployed on compatible hardware hosted by various infrastructure providers.

The architecture implements four distinct storage mechanisms for data management:

Zero-OS Filesystem
- Deduplication-enabled filesystem architecture replacing traditional container images
Zero-OS Mount
- SSD-based mounted storage location optimized for high-performance I/O operations
Quantum Safe Filesystem
- Distributed storage architecture implementing data integrity protection against loss or corruption, designed for secondary storage applications
Zero-OS Disk
- Virtual disk technology implementation (available to OEM integration partners)

The system implements three network connectivity models for virtual machine instances:

Mycelium Network
- Globally distributed overlay network architecture
- Client implementations available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS platforms
ZOS Router
- Direct connection to public IP address space
Web Gateway
- Secure proxy architecture enabling controlled internet traffic routing to isolated virtual machine instances
