About Pharos Cloud

A cloud-native print management platform that eliminates print servers, strengthens security, and provides centralized visibility and control over enterprise print fleets.

Pharos Cloud is a modern, cloud-native print management platform designed to replace legacy print servers with a secure, scalable, and centralized service. Built for enterprise IT teams, it focuses on the 'PrintOps' approach, emphasizing automation, visibility, and security. The platform excels in multi-vendor environments, allowing organizations to manage diverse printer fleets from a single web-based console. Key capabilities include secure release printing, which prevents sensitive documents from sitting on output trays, and robust analytics that help IT leaders identify cost-saving opportunities and optimize device utilization. While the platform is highly capable, it is specifically architected for enterprise-scale complexity, making it a strong choice for organizations looking to modernize their infrastructure as part of a cloud-first strategy. Pricing is customized based on organizational needs, with a starting point for cloud-native foundations, and the vendor provides extensive support resources, including a knowledge center and dedicated account management.
