June 15, 2015 Rancher Labs, a startup dedicated to developing Docker infrastructure software, today announced the beta-availability of Rancher, an open source software platform that provides a complete set of infrastructure services for managing containers in production, as well as a formal beta program. “Undoubtedly, software containers have the potential to dramatically improve the productivity and efficiency of enterprise DevOps teams,” said Paul Burns, president of Neovise. “Nevertheless, in its current state, running any containerization solution at scale and in production requires a significant amount of effort from those adopting the solution. Key functions such as networking, service discovery, storage and load balancing can cause integration issues, keeping enterprises from truly reaping the benefits desired. By providing a unique solution that eases and simplifies the management of container software, Rancher is allowing companies to better utilize and benefit from the technology.” Rancher is a complete infrastructure platform for running Docker in production. It includes a fully-integrated set of infrastructure services purpose built for containers, including networking, storage management, load balancing, service discovery, monitoring, and resource management. Rancher connects these infrastructure services with standard Docker plugins and application management tools, such as Docker Compose, to make it simple for organizations to deploy and manage containerized workloads on any infrastructure.
“Much of the excitement around Docker is its use as a universal packaging and distribution format,” said Sheng Liang, co-founder and CEO of Rancher Labs. “However, as users deploy containers across different infrastructures, they quickly realize that different clouds, virtualization platforms and bare metal servers have dramatically different infrastructure capabilities. By building a common infrastructure backplane across any resource, Rancher implements an entirely new approach to hybrid cloud computing.”
