Value Proposition

Enterprise Cloud Native DevOps

Application-oriented cloud-native DevOps, integration of development, testing, production, operation and maintenance, does not require developers to have complex capabilities such as containers, Kubernetes, and is developer-friendly; provides the ability to continuously build cloud-native applications from source code or simple images, No intrusion, business continues to be published to the cloud; efficient automated operation and maintenance helps developers to efficiently manage highly available, secure and decentralized business systems.

Build B2B Software Delivery System

Build an Online Multi-client Continuous Delivery System

Traditional B2B delivery often invests a lot of manpower and time costs. Many customers, many customizations, and product version upgrades will bring challenges.

1. Kato builds an efficient development platform and produces standardized delivery products.

2. Kato, as the basic platform of the customer environment, can complete the installation and continuous upgrade of the delivered products online.

3. Connect all Kato terminals to KatoStore. Manage customers online, manage customer delivery applications, and continuously upgrade in batches online.

Build an Offline Efficient Delivery System

The uncertainty of the offline environment often means the continuous investment of manpower and the increase of communication costs, and it is more necessary to standardize the delivered products and continuous upgrade capabilities. The Kato development platform produces offline installation packages for standardized applications, which are manually imported into the offline Kato environment to be continuously upgraded.

Enterprises Transform from Software Delivery to Service Delivery

Delivering services means continuous income. Business vendors need two capabilities to provide continuous business services: obtaining strong operation and maintenance capabilities and continuous iterative capabilities to deliver services to customers. Kato enables business vendors to efficiently deliver multiple business systems, continuous development and integration of business systems for each customer, and automated operation and maintenance to ensure the availability of all businesses.

In addition, with the help of KatoStore's product (solution) display, online transaction, product management, online automated delivery, batch upgrade and other capabilities to help companies quickly realize transformation.

Integrators Integrate Industry Application Delivery

Industry integrators have to face both customers and suppliers. Kato gives industry integrators the ability to establish application delivery standards. Provide suppliers with Kato standard application access platform, and release the products to the component library. Industry integrators can select the appropriate product composition solution from the component library and deliver it to the customer environment with one click.

In addition, with the help of the product (solution) display and assembly capabilities of KatoStore, the establishment of industry cloud application stores and the integration of industry IT solutions.

Enterprise Technology Center Construction

Enterprise technology middle office includes technology middleware management and basic business modularization. Kato combines scalable component controllers to expand the unified management of cloud database, big data middleware, artificial intelligence middleware and other technical middleware infrastructure. Provide business middleware for continuous publishing and sharing, and accumulate business common modules. Basic capabilities serve enterprise business scenarios.

Kubernetes Multi-cloud Management

Kubernetes technology is complex and difficult to get started; a large number of deployment, Statefulset, or Operator resource management are complex problems that directly use Kubernetes clusters. Kato's application-centric resource management model shields the complexity of Kubernetes, and all Kubernetes resources are handed over to Kato for orchestration and management.
