Operational Impact
Cort is achieving significant hard benefits via infrastructure cost savings, which is consistent with other customers, where they experienced cost savings of up to 68%. Most of this is due to the use of on-premise hardware and data centers that are already owned by Cort, so the cost savings are due to not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to cloud vendors - or for the purchase of external non-Kubernetes-native storage systems. | |
The operational simplicity resulting from shifting data infrastructure management natively into Kubernetes, thereby availing scale, efficiency, and process benefits attained by combining compute and data infrastructure was akin to the ‘2 birds with a single stone’ metaphor. | |
The Kubernetes installation, extended by OpenEBS and the OpenEBS Enterprise Platform, also saves costs by reducing the time and effort required to keep the increasingly dynamic environment up to date and able to address the growing needs of Cort developers. | |
