The company revealed that Hitachi Kubernetes Service enables its customers to deploy and govern Kubernetes clusters across major cloud providers and on-premises.
Hitachi Vantara is the digital infrastructure and solutions subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501).
“While our customers love container technology, they are challenged by the complexity to deploy and securely manage containers at scale across multiple cloud environments,” said Bobby Soni, president, Digital Infrastructure, Hitachi Vantara.
“Today, we are helping simplify and solve the multi-cloud Kubernetes challenge for our customers with the introduction of Hitachi Kubernetes Service.
“With this enterprise-grade service, our customers now have the freedom of a true agnostic platform, the flexibility of an extensible self-service catalogue, accompanied with world-class training and Hitachi global support to help their development teams drive business results.”
A recent report by Gartner found that by 2022, more than 75% of global organisations will be running containerized applications in production.
Hitachi Kubernetes Service is used by organisations looking for help in accelerating the adoption of cloud-native applications by streamlining the management of the underlying infrastructure and Kubernetes cluster deployments.
The Hitachi Kubernetes Service is available on AWS, with Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure available early in 2021.
“From skills shortages to code abandonment, consistent processes and even training and support, there are many challenges in deploying and managing enterprise-grade Kubernetes in one or more clouds,” said Scott Sinclair, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).
“While there are many Kubernetes services on the market, Hitachi Vantara offers an open and simple environment helping enterprises achieve success in cloud-native computing.”
