Speed of innovation has become the tipping point between success and failure in an increasingly fast-paced and competitive market. As a result, IT Development and Operations (DevOps) teams are under pressure to accelerate the delivery of application updates and new services.

However, organisations that have built their business on traditional applications are struggling to keep pace with business demand, which is why an increasing number of your customers are considering 'containerisation' as a means of overcoming the challenges of legacy infrastructure and virtualised environments. Delivered through the cloud, a container platform enables even more flexibility and speed of deliver for IT DevOps, whilst also making it an affordable solution for organisations of any size.
