D2iQ
Today marks an important day for D2iQ as we usher in the next phase of maturity for our company with exciting updates to our product portfolio and an evolution of our corporate identity.
As early explorers in the cloud-native ecosystem, we’ve observed one constant in the last seven years: change. From small rooms of pioneers at DockerCon, to hundreds of experienced cloud operators at MesosCon and now tens of thousands of technologists from around the world at KubeCon, the industry continues to gain momentum at a rapid clip. As a result of this growth, there are 600+ projects and products across the cloud-native landscape with complexity and heterogeneity accelerating by the day. We are proud to be part of this community and hope to bring some order to the chaos for our customers, partners and users at large by serving as partner to enterprises in their cloud-native journey.
Cloud-native represents a seismic shift in the computing landscape and we are building D2iQ to help facilitate this change for enterprises worldwide. While we’ve historically positioned ourselves as a platform and infrastructure provider, we aspire to extend that definition with our latest announcements. Our goal is to elevate our value proposition above any single individual technology or industry shift and become a conduit for cloud-native adoption as a whole.
To do this, we need to bring partners along for the ride. Operating in a vibrant ecosystem of open source and vendor-built tech means that customers innovating in their own businesses can utilize best-of-breed building blocks as they progress on their cloud-native journey. At D2iQ, we see one of our core missions as delivering freedom of choice amongst these building blocks and key components with an enterprise-grade posture. This has not changed since our company was founded at the outset of the cloud renaissance and we are fortunate to have long standing partners working with us pretty much since day one.
With new friends and old, we are ecstatic to be launching into our next chapter with support from over 20+ technology partners throughout ecosystem. We’ve been hard at work briefing folks on the next leg of our development and preparing product integrations for launch. That said, we can’t wait to bring these joint solutions to our customers and expand what’s possible in the cloud-native landscape.
We are only scratching the surface of what we believe we can accomplish with our collective universe of current and future partners. We hope you’ll join us.
