TFGrid Low Level Functions = Primitives

The following are the low level constructs which can be deployed on the TFGrid.

The following functionalities allow you to create any solutions on top of the grid. Any application which can run on linux can run on the TFGrid.

Compute (uses CU)

• ZKube
  • kubernetes deployment
• ZMachine
  • the container or virtual machine running inside ZOS
• CoreX
  • process manager (optional), can be used to get remote access to your zmachine

A 3Node is a Zero-OS enabled computer which is hosted by any cloud operator.

There are 4 storage mechanisms which can be used to store your data:

• ZOS FS
  • is our dedupe unique filesystem, replaces docker images
• ZOS Mount

• Quamtum Safe Filesystem
  • this is a super unique storage system, data can never be lost or corrupted. Please be reminded that this storage layer is only meant to be used for secondary storage applications
• ZOS Disk
  • a virtual disk technology, only for TFTech OEM partners

There are 4 ways how networks can be connected to a Z-Machine.

• Planetary network:
  • is a planetary scalable network, we have clients for windows, osx, android and iphone
• ZOS Net:
  • is a fast end2end encrypted network technology, keep your traffic between your z_machines 100% private
• ZOS NIC:
  • connection to a public ipaddress
• WEB GW:
  • web gateway, a secure way to allow internet traffic reach your secure Z-Machine.
