Managed Container Platforms

Container solutions help to implement a lean form of virtualization, offering simple scalability, flexibility, and efficiency for your cloud applications. At Phoenix, we offer three types of Managed Container Services with Red Hat OpenShift, Plain Vanilla Kubernetes and Managed Container Platform on Mainframe. In Addition, customers can decide whether they want a Managed Container service within their own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), or Fully Managed Containerized services option, which offloads the complexity of infrastructure management to kvant.

Managed Container Platform in Customer VPC or Fully Managed Containerized Services

The kvant Managed Container Platform offers a Managed Kubernetes service within the customer's own VPC, providing them with the advantage of direct control over the Kubernetes environment, enhanced security customization, and compliance with specific corporate or regulatory requirements.

The fully managed containerized services option offloads the complexity of infrastructure management to kvant, including comprehensive management of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift, supplemented with developer tools and an Enterprise Service Level Agreements (SLAs), thereby allowing customers to concentrate on application development rather than system operations.

Both options leverage the kvant Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure, ensuring high-performance computing resources with CPU/GPU capabilities, but the choice between them allows customers to balance between autonomy in a controlled VPC setting and the convenience of a fully managed service.

Managed Kubernetes in Customer VPC

The kvant Managed Container Platform offers a Managed Kubernetes service within the customer's own VPC, providing them with the advantage of direct control over their Kubernetes environment, enhanced security customization, and compliance with specific corporate or regulatory requirements.

Customizable and gives the customer control over their VPC environment.

Allows the deployment and scaling of containerized services within the customer's own VPC infrastructure.

Customers can leverage their own security and network configurations, which may be required for compliance or governance.

Typically, this would be chosen by organizations that have specific requirements that dictate the need for maintaining their services within their own VPC.

Fully Managed Containerized Services

The Fully Managed Containerized Services option offloads the complexity of infrastructure management to kvant, including comprehensive management of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift, supplemented with developer tools and an enterprise SLA, thereby allowing customers to concentrate on application development rather than system operations.

Services, such as Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift, are fully managed by the Phoenix.

Provides ease of use and removes the need for the customer to manage the underlying infrastructure.

Can include additional features like block storage, load balancing, developer tools (CI/CD, monitoring), and enterprise-level SLAs.

Preferred by organizations that want to focus on development and operations without the overhead of managing the infrastructure.

Managed Container Options at Phoenix

Red Hat OpenShift

Developers and DevOps can quickly build, deploy, run, and manage applications anywhere, securely, and at scale with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system and Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise-ready application platform with deployment and infrastructure options that support every application and environment.

Vanilla Kubernetes

Kubernetes is the unmodified version of the Kubernetes container orchestration platform. It provides core functionalities for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications across clusters. With Phoenix, businesses can customize and extend Vanilla Kubernetes according to their specific requirements, leveraging its robust architecture and rich ecosystem of tools and plugins.

Managed Container Platform on Mainframe

Experience the unparalleled reliability and security of IBM Mainframe Systems while leveraging the agility of containerized applications. This special offering combines kvant's Sovereign Cloud benefits with the Mainframe's robust processing power, facilitating seamless integration of new and legacy workloads within a single, Managed Container Platform.

“We're incredibly pleased with the Kubernetes solution provided by Phoenix. Their commitment to excellence and Swiss sovereignty ensures not only exceptional service but also peace of mind knowing our data remains secure on home soil."
