Fairwinds offers a Kubernetes enablement platform to help organizations adopt cloud-native infrastructure. Solutions to accelerate the Kubernetes journey include a fully managed service to add capacity to your existing DevOps team; an advisory service for those who need to develop their expertise; and software offerings for those looking to improve security and reduce costs for their cloud-native infrastructure.
The infrastructure, software, and services we provide enable organizations to focus on bringing their applications and services to market faster.
Fairwinds’s differentiators include:
* Trusted infrastructure services & software - Having worked with Kubernetes since its inception in 2015, we have learned how to make it secure, reliable and scalable. We have created open source technologies and software to simplify and streamline infrastructure implementation and ongoing management of hundreds of production-grade clusters including those for Boxed Wholesale and Fandor.
* Enablement of your team - Here at Fairwinds we pride ourselves on “teaching you to fish” by sharing our expertise and best practices developed over the past 5 years. We offer human-to-human support and integrate with your team using Slack instead of slower, more process-heavy ticketing systems. According to Arun Jacob, Senior Vice President of Software at Zonar Systems, “Every step of the way, they’ve trained our team and increased our knowledge base, allowing us to focus on building services instead of maintaining infrastructure. Their support has been invaluable.”
* Open source expertise - Fairwinds has developed six leading open source tools that span deployment, operations and optimization of cloud-native infrastructure. These tools have been embraced by the community, with Fairwinds Polaris having received over a thousand GitHub stars. We create and curate great open source to deliver a proven, production-grade stack in your cloud environment.
