Organise containers as required, via Kubernetes or OpenShift. Thanks to flexible scalability, the environment grows with your needs.

Equipped for the future with CaaS

Bring your applications into the cloud future with cloud-native approaches. Our container platform provides the required amount of reliability, security and scalability. You can provide clusters and workers automatically via a self-service portal and equip your applications to cope with any demands. Our many years of expertise ensure your private cloud infrastructure is operated in a professional and highly secure manner. The certified Kubernetes services are CNCF-compliant (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) and meet the highest standards.

Thanks to our Container-as-a-Service offer, you can concentrate on the deployment and operation of your applications and therefore offer your customers the desired added value. Regardless of whether you rely on Kubernetes or OpenShift to organise your containers.

When is it the right solution?

Do you want to take advantage of modern PaaS and cloud-native applications and be able to adapt to the needs of the market in a flexible and cost-efficient way? Then you need a container platform that relieves you of the time-consuming administration and reduces the complexity of your infrastructure.

Cost pressure and competition demand short, efficient adjustment cycles for your applications. Kubernetes and OpenShift are ideal platforms for Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) and microservice architectures. At the same time, you want to have the security of the cloud infrastructure under control at all times.

Your benefits:

Automated provisioning for quick adjustments
Highest security and availability for smooth operation of your applications
Flexible scalability to meet changing needs

Application scenarios for Container Services

Deployment of container-based applications

Container Services as an application platform

CaaS forms the basis for applications from third-party manufacturers (ISVs, Independent Software Vendors), which are delivered as container images. This allows business applications to be operated without the need for any time-consuming adjustments to the system configuration.

Lifecycle-Management

Continuous Integration and Deployment

Container Services enable the creation of a secure delivery pipeline for your applications. This makes it easy to implement modern CI/CD concepts with a DevOps/DevSecOps approach, without having to worry about the underlying system architecture.

Modernising the IT infrastructure

Microservices Architectures

Modernisation of the IT infrastructure and efficient new concepts such as CI/CD require a container infrastructure such as that provided by CaaS. This allows applications to be modernised step-by-step and converted from monolithic approaches to microservices.
