Small Business IT Operations
Empower your business by adopting containerization the easy way with Portainer.
The adoption of digital services is the way to secure and retain customers, especially in the increasing digital native society.
But how do you adopt digital services if your organization is not as strong as the global giants?
How can you possibly compete in the hiring game when there is a limited supply of suitably experienced experts, and large enterprises are comfortable paying the rates experts demand?
Containerization is a universal “enabler” technology.
Its benefits equally apply to organizations of any size, shape, or financial position. Containers are the way modern software is developed, deployed, and supported.
It's simply a fact now that if you are going to be deploying new software, even software purchased from an Independent Software Vendor, or created for you by an external agency, that this software will be supplied to you in a container format.
Enter Portainer.
There are many products on the market that claim to make the use of containers “easy”, but none of them focus on the sysadmin operator persona. All of the tools on the market assume the operator is a DevOps professional, and/or has been retrained as a Kubernetes engineer. Both of these are an unlikely occurrence in a small business.
Portainer on the other hand has specifically engineered the UI/UX to the sysadmin operator user.
- Portainer lets your existing IT support team get started with the technology today, with the skills they possess today.
- Portainer lets you start with “clickops” wizard based deployments, transition to “as code” and then eventually adopt full GitOps principles. The level of Docker and Kubernetes experience needed to use Portainer is very low as there is a real emphasis on guiding the user on the right way forward.
- Through the use of templates, golden-paths, safe defaults, and making very difficult configuration tasks into 5-minute simple exercises, Portainer is the fastest and safest way to get started with containerization.
