Hitachi Vantara, wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, announced the acquisition of the assets of Containership, a privately held vendor of software for managing and orchestrating containerized business software applications.
Containership is a Pittsburgh based startup that builds tools to help organizations solve challenges building modern, cloud native infrastructure.
Hitachi Vantara said that it already delivers infrastructure solutions that leverage the Kubernetes technology. However, container orchestration is a rapidly evolving market and the company continues to invest in solutions that help IT and DevOps teams maximize their infrastructure advantage. The software addresses critical cloud native application issues facing customers working with Kubernetes such as persistent storage support, centralized authentication, access control, audit logging, continuous deployment, workload portability, cost analysis, autoscaling, upgrades, and more.
