Products
Megam and Rio/OS were two phases of the same technical bet. Megam v1 sold a cloud management platform (CMP) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer to operators. Rio/OS tried to turn the private cloud itself into the product.
Megam
Megam's v1 product surface was Vertice, Cloud-in-a-Box, and Nilavu. Nilavu was the browser UI. Vertice was the core scheduler. The API gateway sat between the UI, clients, and the backing control-plane services.
The public docs described MegamVertice as a system for virtual machines, apps, and containers. Its vocabulary included OpenNebula, OpenVZ, Docker, Ceph, WHMCS (Web Host Manager Complete Solution, a billing and client-management platform for hosting providers), Route53, Bitnami apps, Docker registry search, snapshots, block storage, monitoring, logging, and custom application flows.
The 2014 OpenNebula deck described support for Java, Play, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and Akka, with GitHub, Bitbucket, and CloudForge as source-cloud integrations. It also positioned Cloud-in-a-Box and OpenNebula integration as part of the product story.

Rio/OS
Rio/OS was the second phase: a private-cloud operating-system direction rather than the original Megam PaaS / CMP framing. Its public source of record is github.com/rioos2, because the Rio Advancement GitLab source is private and unavailable.
The public Rio/OS GitHub organization includes primary links such as rioos, commandcenter, autorio, aran, beedi, and ottavada. Libraries such as metgroup, nalperion_rust, and openio-sdk-rust support the story but are not the main product surface. Some later repository timestamps reflect synchronization or restoration rather than original product development.
Rio/OS had CogMob as an enterprise pilot and ServerNet as a pilot enterprise customer. Intergrid belonged to the Megam-era SMB pilot/customer story. DET.io was associated with Megam only: a Megam partner, not a customer and not a Rio/OS partner.
DET.io / VirtEngine belongs in the story because it shows downstream commercial integration built on the Megam lineage. Jonathan Philipos is listed as a downstream commercial integrator and Megam partner, not as a Megam employee or Rio/OS partner.
Pivot
Megam Systems was acquired by Rio Advancement Inc., the seed funding to extend Rio/OS did not fully materialize, and in October 2018 the team relocated to Lendsmart / Getattune. Full dates and the relationship chain are on the timeline.
DET.io was a Megam partner, not a customer. Megam is grateful.
