Each year, Gartner the technology research firm known for its Magic Quadrants, selects a few companies as ‘Cool Vendors’ in their market categories. This year, I am happy to announce that Gartner has selected Nirmata as a Cool Vendor in the Gartner's "Cool Vendors in Web-Scale Platforms, 2015".
Nirmata is pleased to announce new features and improvements to our solution. Our focus has been on resiliency and state management:

The default networking mode in Docker (as of Release 1.5) is the bridge mode. The bridge mode setting creates a virtual Ethernet bridge device on the Linux host that enables containers to talk to each other, and the host. Docker’s port mappings can then be used to manage external traffic, from the host interface to containers.

Private Cloud Container Orchestration using Nirmata
Nirmata has full support for private clouds as part of its Microservices Operations and Management solution. In this post, I will provider some insights into the architecture of this functionality, and walk you through the setup in four easy steps.
Nirmata users can securely manage VMware and OpenStack clouds and Docker Image Registries, in their data center. To connect their Private Clouds, users’ need to run the Nirmata Private Cloud Agent, on a system within their data center that has network connectivity to their cloud management system (e.g. VMware’s vCenter) and/or a private Docker Image Registry. Once the Nirmata Private Cloud Agent is connected, users can then securely provision Host Groups and Image Registries in Nirmata.

As application container adoption continues to grow, the popularity of ‘minimal’ operating systems, designed to run containers, is on the rise. One such operating system is CoreOS. CoreOs has been architected to run modern, cloud native applications and provide support for Docker containers.

Cloud native applications are built to run optimally on cloud infrastructure. Cloud native application architectures are very different than traditional tiered applications which are designed for a data center. In this post I will discuss maturity model, from the Open Data Center Alliance (ODCA), for assessing the cloud nativeness of an application.
