What ERA Provision is
ERA Provision deploys operating systems to bare-metal hardware through PXE networking and other provisioning methods. It supports locally stored Windows and Linux images, including in air-gapped environments, and automated installation scenarios. After installation, it can register an ERA agent automatically, connecting hardware deployment with management setup without cloud imaging services. ERA One identifies data centers, branch offices, and new fleet deployment projects as intended uses. The product requires a separate license, and pricing is available on request. Listed platforms include API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. The broader ERA Control platform context includes a web console and Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts, and is described as deployable on-premises or in air-gapped environments. ERA Control also describes sovereign air-gap and hybrid profiles that keep data, AI, and investigations within the customer perimeter. Related platform capabilities include offline Ed25519 licensing, agent-side PII redaction, and integrations with AD/LDAP, REST API, SIEM, STIX/TAXII, and NGFW. ERA One lists Geneva, Switzerland as its head office and Warsaw, Poland as its engineering center.
