We partner with OEM hardware vendors to\nprovide customers with the latest, best-in-class enterprise equipment that is\nbacked by comprehensive services and support.\n\n\nDistributed Cloud can run on minimal hardware to provide flexibility,\navailability, and\nperformance.\n\n### Software\n\nIn an isolated environment, you cannot download Distributed Cloud\nbinaries directly to a\nnetwork.\nBefore deploying Distributed Cloud on an air-gapped system, it\nis important to have:\n\n- Internet access to Google Cloud to download the Distributed Cloud distribution.\n- A portable storage device to transfer the distribution to the air-gapped environment, for example, an external hard drive or a thumb drive.\n- On-premise hardware to upload the downloaded files to.\n- SHA256 or MD5 checksum to verify the integrity of the downloaded Distributed Cloud software in the air-gapped environment.\n- Nodes and clusters with enough CPU, RAM, and storage resources to meet the needs of clusters and workloads you are running regardless of your Distributed Cloud configuration.\n- Downloaded Distributed Cloud documentation to use offline.\n\nDistributed Cloud provides a FIPS 140-2 certified Ubuntu 20.04\nlong-term support (LTS) operating system (OS) image that runs on\nDistributed Cloud bare metal servers and virtual machines. The\ncertified OS image meets all security and compliance requirements.\n\nMajor technical features\n------------------------\n\nDistributed Cloud delivers a multitude of features\nthat let enterprises use the full functionality of a private isolated\nenvironment with no internet access.\n\n### Services\n\nThe extensive collection of Distributed Cloud services includes data\nmanagement,\nartificial intelligence, machine learning, security, observability, and\ncomputing services.\nDistributed Cloud supports both Kubernetes and virtual machine-based\nworkloads.\n\n### Storage\n\nTo build a robust infrastructure and store data across an air-gapped cloud\nenvironment, Distributed Cloud provides block and object\nstorage services.\nThe underlying storage hardware includes high-performing all-flash solutions for\nblock and more cost-efficient solutions for object storage.\n\n### High availability and data backup\n\nTo conform to the data sovereignty requirements, Distributed Cloud\ndelivers an\nintegrated backup solution for data recovery and the ability to control data\nresidency either in a local or remote data center.\n\nDeploying resources across multiple data centers with\n[Multi-zone](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/resources/multi-zone/mz-overview) lets you run\ndisconnected, mission critical workloads on Distributed Cloud by\ndelivering high availability (HA) and disaster recovery\n(DR) capabilities similar to public hyperscale cloud providers.\n\nDistributed Cloud enables enterprises to perform rolling\nnon-disruptive hardware and software upgrades.\n\n### Networking\n\nDistributed Cloud provides secure networking and high-speed\nperformance to support your mission critical services.\n\nData plane and management plane networks connect all cloud components hosted in\nan on-premises environment to ensure data sovereignty. The networks secure data\nand enable customers to scale and optimize their infrastructure.\n\nThe network load balancing service distributes TCP and UDP traffic among\nclusters and gives absolute control over handling traffic in the Distributed Cloud environment.\n\nSupport\n-------\n\nThe Cloud Support API might not be available for use with Distributed Cloud. Consult your account manager for details.\n\nThird-party notices and source code\n-----------------------------------\n\nThird-party notices are provided with each release of\nGDC. They are provided using a tar file\nstored in the same Cloud Storage location under a matching tar file that includes\n`notice` in the name. Alternatively, third-party notices are provided directly in the images\nincluded in GDC.\n\nFor some of these third-party sources, we also provide copies of the source code.\nThird-party sources can also be found either in the images or in the following\nGoogle-hosted repositories:\n\n- \u003chttps://gdch-oss.googlesource.com\u003e\n- \u003chttps://third-party-mirror.googlesource.com\u003e\n\nFor our Ubuntu mirror, we have not modified the packages.
