Portainer.io Launches Portainer Business Edition, Bringing Simplified Container Management Platform to Enterprise Scale
Summary
Growing to 500,000 open source users in just two years, Portainer.io is anticipating rapid uptake of its business offering, particularly given the recent introduction of support for Kubernetes. Portainer Business is built on top of Portainer.ios beloved open source platform, which simplifies container management and orchestration without compromising functionality. The new product also incorporates the rigorous pre-release testing and comprehensive support business users need for an annual license fee, while continuing to decrease complexity and humanize container management. "We are thrilled to launch Portainer Business today because it will enable Portainer.io to remain true to our open source roots," said Portainer.io CEO and Co-Founder Neil Cresswell. Earlier in the year, the company attracted an initial seed funding round of US$1.2 million to fast-track its growth plans and is looking to rapidly convert its open source success into global revenue generation.
