Cupertino, Calif. – May 17, 2017 – Rancher
Labs
, a provider of container management
software, today announced they were recognized as one of four “Cool
Vendors” in the May report by Gartner, Inc., Cool Vendors in Cloud
Infrastructure, 2017. “As container adoption continues to grow within
the enterprise, the need for simplified container management persists,”
said Sheng Liang, CEO and co-founder of Rancher Labs. “With Rancher,
we’re providing a turnkey solution that enables organizations to deploy
and manage containers in production, and on any choice of
infrastructure. We’re thrilled to be named a “Cool Vendor” by Gartner
and to be acknowledged for our innovation and execution in the cloud
infrastructure space.” Rancher Labs builds innovative, open source
software that makes it easy to deploy and manage containers in
production, on any infrastructure. The company’s flagship container
management platform, Rancher, enables
organizations to accelerate all aspects of their software development
pipeline, from writing and testing code to running complex
microservices-based applications. It includes a fully-supported
Kubernetes distribution, making it easy to configure, deploy and manage
Kubernetes clusters.  Since launching in 2014, Rancher has received
40 million total downloads and has quickly become the tools of choice
for teams serious about running containers in production, including
organizations such as EVRY, LateRooms.com, USDA, Interoute, and more.
Rancher Labs is also the creator of
RancherOS, a simplified Linux
distribution built from containers, for containers. RancherOS eliminates
any unnecessary libraries and services, resulting in a footprint
three times smaller than that of other container operating systems. The
simplified container environment reduces container boot time, increases
efficiency, and improves security by reducing the number of components
that can be exploited. For additional information on Rancher and
