D2iQ

D2iQ is a cloud native pioneer headquartered in San Francisco that has spent over a decade developing enterprise-grade Kubernetes solutions. The company provides the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP), an independent enterprise Kubernetes management platform designed to simplify deployment and management across hybrid, on-premise, edge, air-gapped, and multi-cloud environments. Their platform is built on pure upstream open-source Kubernetes, offering organizations freedom from vendor lock-in while providing centralized multi-cluster fleet management capabilities. D2iQ serves a diverse range of enterprise clients including government agencies like the U.S. Air Force and GDIT, as well as commercial organizations such as Royal Caribbean and Cerved. The company offers multiple product tiers including DKP Essential, DKP Enterprise, DKP Edge/IoT, and government-specific solutions (DKP Gov Essential and DKP Gov Advanced). Beyond their technology platform, D2iQ provides comprehensive services including training, support, and CNCF certification programs to help organizations successfully adopt and scale Kubernetes in production environments. Recently acquired by Nutanix, D2iQ continues to focus on making Kubernetes accessible and manageable for enterprises, with particular expertise in challenging deployment scenarios such as air-gapped environments, edge computing, and multi-cloud architectures. Their platform emphasizes automation, security, and Day 2 operational success, helping organizations reduce deployment time and operational costs while increasing application release velocity.
