WE SECURE THE ESSENTIAL

Founded by Army & Navy veterans, we design & build tools for critical operations to deliver virtualization and orchestration technology that protects essential systems—from data centers to tactical edge.

MAINSAIL

Essential systems face a paradox: the infrastructure that powers society—energy grids, healthcare systems, defense networks, financial institutions—is more connected than ever. And more vulnerable than ever.

Modernization is essential, but traditional approaches tend to bring unpredictable costs, vendor lock-in, and security models designed for a bygone era. Starlight was created to remove those barriers.

Is it right for you?

A single unified platform for VMs, containers, and AI—from data center to tactical edge

Run Everything

VMs, containers, AI inference on a unified platform.

Operate Anywhere

Data center to edge, connected or disconnected.

Secure by Design

Confidential computing and Zero Trust built in.

Integrate, Don't Replace

Works with Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and existing investments.

A Different Approach

Traditional virtualization platforms weren't designed for today's threats or tomorrow's edge. Cloud-first architectures assume connectivity that contested environments can't guarantee. We built Starlight from the ground up—for disconnected operations, advanced built-in security, and predictable economics.

No per-socket licensing surprises

No dependency on centralized control planes

No vendor lock-in to proprietary ecosystems
