Client Success



There is a huge opportunity to leverage container technology for enterprises planning to migrate to the cloud or don’t have the budget to re-write every application to be cloud-native. Powered by Docker and Kubernetes, it enables them to increase the density of their cloud deployments to maximize the utilization of cloud resources. Container technology provides an unopinionated way to host a wide variety of modern and legacy workloads and squeeze every penny out of each VM hour you buy.
Persistent helps enterprises containerize their applications fast and efficiently using automation and tools that can take running workloads and generate Docker images to run the workload as a container. This rapidly eliminates an expansive and under-utilized cloud deployment with a densely populated and highly-utilized set of cloud compute resources.
