Carina Enterprise

Build on the kernel with production support

Carina Enterprise is the Red Hat layer for Carina: commercial support, services, and SLAs from VERLOX Ltd for teams shipping products on the MIT kernel. The kernel stays free; you pay for expert help, not a license change.

Who it is for

ISVs shipping vertical SaaS with "Powered by Carina" or "Built on Carina" products
Regulated industries (healthcare, finance, public sector) needing guided compliance workflows
Platform teams standardising agents across departments on one kernel upgrade path

Carina Enterprise is a builder and support contract. It is not the same as Carina Cloud hosting or Scout security subscriptions, though contracts can bundle them.

What Enterprise includes

These services are not part of the MIT kernel. They are negotiated commercial contracts with VERLOX Ltd.

Support SLAs

Email support with optional dedicated Slack channel. Response targets by severity are defined in your contract (Custom SLA; specifics negotiated per engagement).

Dedicated instances

Single-tenant Carina Cloud or private deployment on request. Your data boundary, your upgrade window, VERLOX-operated or customer VPC.

Custom domain packs

VERLOX or certified partners build vertical skill packs under contract: RAG corpus, tools, evaluation harness, and Hub publish path.

Compliance assistance

Guidance on GDPR data flows, NHS DSPT alignment for UK health pilots, and audit-ready documentation templates. Not legal advice; engage your counsel for sign-off.

Training

Kernel architecture workshops and domain pack development sessions for your engineering team. Remote or on-site by arrangement.

Upgrade path

Priority access to kernel RFCs, semver migration support, and coordinated Scout integration when you need production governance.
