Tectonic, by CoreOS, Now Generally Available to Help Enterprises Deploy, Manage and Secure Containers Anywhere
November 4, 2015Today, CoreOS, the leader in container infrastructure, is launching the general availability of Tectonic to provide a software solution to enterprise companies looking to deploy, manage and secure containers anywhere. Tectonic is available today to enterprises looking to move applications seamlessly between cloud and data center, as well as ensure a consistent environment to deploy applications from dev to cloud to data center.
Colm Keegan, cloud analyst from ESG states: "Many organizations are interested in leveraging container technology to enable continuous application innovation, faster time to market and improved operational efficiencies across hybrid cloud environments. But the lack of manageability, security and isolation often serves as an obstacle towards container adoption. CoreOS’ Tectonic offering addresses these concerns by providing a consistent and simplified operational framework that can be utilized to securely and more easily manage containers across hybrid cloud infrastructure. This can potentially enable businesses to reduce costs, enhance their Dev/Ops capabilities and gain a competitive edge through more rapid application development and deployment."
"With the general availability of Tectonic we are continuing to lead and bring the industry forward, providing a simple way for enterprises to begin experiencing Google-like infrastructure," said Alex Polvi, CEO of CoreOS. "As seen in working with our early users, this powerful stack enables a new, consistent way of running applications anywhere, in production. With a stable and enterprise-ready Tectonic, the CoreOS stack with Google’s Kubernetes, companies can trust their containers in production and focus on propelling their innovations forward."
