Features
Pantheon is a combination of web development tools in the cloud and web hosting and management services. It is based in the cloud, and the service is free for developers. Developers have a choice between Drupal 6, Drupal 7 and installation of profiles like Open Atrium. Data can be imported onto Pantheon automatically if the business has an existing Drupal-based website. Pantheon Multidev does for a company's website what software-defined data centers do for its infrastructure. Each member of a team can use all the services that power a site on demand, developing on a single platform. As a result, large websites launch faster and cost less to manage over time.
Based on Pantheon's multi-tenant containerized architecture, Multidev spins up in seconds, with no need for additional infrastructure or virtual servers.
Pantheon makes it easy to deploy different versions of a site on test servers and the live site, as well as backup servers.
