# Omnistrate > Omnistrate is a universal software distribution platform for ISVs. It turns any containerized or Terraform-defined application into a fully managed, multi-tenant SaaS product that can be delivered as Hosted SaaS, BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud), or Air-gapped on-prem — from a single control plane, without building distribution infrastructure in-house. Omnistrate handles provisioning, tenant isolation, upgrades, autoscaling, observability, metering, billing, and cloud-marketplace listings across AWS, GCP, and Azure. It supports Docker Compose, Helm, Kustomize, Operators, and Terraform as product definitions. Key concepts: control plane, deployment cells, deployment models (Hosted / BYOC / Air-gapped), tenancy types, plans, and marketplace fulfillment. ## Product - [Omnistrate](https://omnistrate.com/): Product overview: distribute and operate your software in any environment — Hosted, BYOC, and on-prem — at any scale. - [Pricing](https://omnistrate.com/pricing): Plans by SaaS use case and growth stage, plus a cost calculator for estimating spend and savings. - [The Control Plane, Demystified](https://omnistrate.com/control-plane-demystified): Deep-dive guide on what goes into a modern control plane and how it differs from DevOps tools, IaC platforms, and app hosting platforms. - [Launch Your SaaS on AWS Marketplace](https://omnistrate.com/aws-saas-offer): Build and list a SaaS product on AWS Marketplace with PAYG and Private Offer support. - [Partners](https://omnistrate.com/partners): The Omnistrate partner ecosystem: integrations, co-selling, and multi-cloud SaaS collaboration. ## Documentation - [Documentation home](https://docs.omnistrate.com/): Entry point for all Omnistrate product documentation. - [What is Omnistrate](https://docs.omnistrate.com/what-is-omnistrate/): What the platform does and the problems it solves. - [Architecture](https://docs.omnistrate.com/architecture/): How the control plane, data plane, and deployment cells fit together. - [Getting started](https://docs.omnistrate.com/getting-started/overview/): Zero-to-SaaS walkthroughs from Compose, Helm, Kustomize, Operators, Terraform, or a repo. - [Deployment models](https://docs.omnistrate.com/build-guides/deployment-models/): Hosted SaaS, BYOC, and Air-gapped delivery models compared. - [BYOC overview](https://docs.omnistrate.com/build-guides/byoc-overview/): Running your SaaS product inside the customer's own cloud account. - [Air-gapped overview](https://docs.omnistrate.com/build-guides/air-gapped-overview/): Offline and on-prem distribution, including Air-gapped Helm charts. - [Deployment cells](https://docs.omnistrate.com/build-guides/deployment-cells/): Isolation boundaries for tenants across clouds, accounts, and regions. - [Tenancy types](https://docs.omnistrate.com/build-guides/tenancy-types/): Single-tenant, multi-tenant, and hybrid isolation options. - [DevOps guides](https://docs.omnistrate.com/dev-ops-guides/overview/): Environments, release pipelines, secrets, and upgrades. - [FinOps guides](https://docs.omnistrate.com/fin-ops-guides/overview/): Metering, billing, cost insights, and cloud marketplace integration. - [API reference](https://docs.omnistrate.com/api/api-resources/): REST API resources for programmatic control. - [MCP server](https://docs.omnistrate.com/getting-started/mcp-server/): Model Context Protocol server for driving Omnistrate from AI agents. - [Glossary](https://docs.omnistrate.com/glossary/): Definitions of Omnistrate and software-distribution terminology. - [FAQ](https://docs.omnistrate.com/faq/): Frequently asked questions about the platform. ## Case Studies - [Petabyte-Scale Observability in Customer Clouds](https://omnistrate.com/blog/petabyte-scale-observability-in-customer-clouds): Learn how Axiom leveraged Omnistrate's Control Plane as-a-Service to launch a petabyte-scale Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) offering, overcoming multi-region complexity and data sovereignty challenges while preserving engineering focus on core innovation. - [DataRobot Automates On-Prem and Launches STS](https://omnistrate.com/blog/datarobot-automates-on-prem-and-launches-sts): DataRobot used Omnistrate to reduce on-prem deployment from months to one-step, and launch a global multi-cloud STS (Single-Tenant SaaS) fully-integrated with their existing stack in months as opposed to years. - [TileDB Accelerates Critical Enterprise Deals by Automating Deployment Across Any Cloud with Omnistrate](https://omnistrate.com/blog/tiledb-accelerates-critical-enterprise-deals-by-automating-deployment-across-any-cloud-with-omnistrate): TileDB, a leader in omnimodal data intelligence, partnered with Omnistrate to automate the deployment of its Carrara data platform across any cloud, including Microsoft Azure.
