Kubernetes

You take care of your business applications—we'll take care of your Kubernetes platform.

We offer managed Kubernetes services and support financial services providers and other companies in highly regulated industries in planning, setting up, and operating secure, highly available clusters in our data centers or in hybrid environments across private and public clouds.

We support our customers in migrating existing applications and integrating new internal and external software solutions into Kubernetes environments. In doing so, we take into account industry-specific requirements, security and compliance specifications, and ensure that applications are optimally integrated into the existing IT landscape

Our range of services extends from analysis and planning to technical implementation, ongoing monitoring, and the automation of operational processes. Through proactive testing, continuous updates, and comprehensive incident and problem management, we guarantee reliable 24/7 operation, ensuring stability, scalability, and maximum availability.
