This enables a virtualized and software-defined ground system like Kratos\u2019 OpenSpace Platform to more cost-effectively and securely support multiple missions simultaneously, deliver services faster and streamline operations.<\/p>\n<p>Today, customers leverage a range of computing environments from bare metal, virtual machines to the cloud, making the deployment of software-based ground systems more complex and time-consuming. Working together, Kratos and Rancher Government Solutions have enhanced the ability of the OpenSpace Platform, the first commercially available, fully virtualized and software-defined satellite ground system to be deployed more easily across customer environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Rancher, the OpenSpace Platform deploys its virtual functions including modems, channelizers, combiners, and more, as Kubernetes-based containerized software applications that act as independent and portable computing environments that can run and scale on any infrastructure,\u201d said <strong>Brandon Gulla, Chief Technology Officer at RGS<\/strong>. \u201cWe are proud to be working with Kratos to support this truly transformational platform that will free satellite operators from proprietary hardware architectures and move to software-defined, flexible, and extensible virtual platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By its software-defined and containerized, the OpenSpace Platform is already much faster and more flexible to deploy than traditional hardware-based satellite ground systems. As customer demands grow, the software-based OpenSpace Platform can reconfigure on the fly and deploy new services automatically and cost-effectively in minutes. Software containers can be spun up and down and scaled on demand elastically using a single management interface from the Rancher Platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRancher serves as the Kubernetes management technology that supports the OpenSpace Platform\u2019s ability to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of our containerized workloads,\u201d said <strong>Anthony Semiao, Chief Solutions Architect of the OpenSpace Platform<\/strong>. \u201cThe combined technologies support hybrid and multi-cloud environments enabling OpenSpace customers to run in the data center and cloud environment of their choice such as Google, Amazon or Microsoft and to easily switch from one cloud provider to another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iaI0AA9GRFs?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kratos Defense &amp; Security Solutions, a technology company in Defense, National Security, and Global Markets, and Rancher Government Solutions, the provider company of enterprise Kubernetes management solutions to the U.S. Government, announced a strategic partnership to enable customers to seamlessly deploy and scale virtual ground systems using Kratos\u2019 software-based OpenSpace Platform.
