ChaoSuan, Crunchy Data, Qbox, StorageOS, and Treasure Data Join Cloud Native Computing Foundation to Bring Enterprises Business Agility

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - June 20, 2016) - DockerCon -- T​he Cloud Native Computing Foundation, ​a Linux Foundation project and organization dedicated to advancing the development of cloud native applications and services, today announced that ChaoSuan, Crunchy Data, Qbox, Inc., StorageOS, and Treasure Data have joined the Foundation to accelerate the adoption of cloud native technologies and advance the open source ecosystem. Pioneered by internet companies to achieve the scale and operational efficiency, cloud native technologies are gaining tremendous support from enterprises of all kinds.

According to IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Cloud 2016 Predictions report, by 2018, more than 60 percent of new applications will use cloud-enabled continuous delivery and cloud-native application architectures to enable faster innovation and business agility. Cloud native architectures enable applications to be ported among any number of clouds, allowing companies to transport whole web-scale applications from one cloud to another.

Today's diverse new members are investing in the Foundation's initiatives to enable faster innovation and create nimble and robust systems. As cloud native continues to evolve, enterprises will benefit from the open source community's excellent innovation, while still having a consistent, predictable, repeatable, and reliable infrastructure to run their organizations and drive business value.

"Cloud native is not a single architecture. Companies have multiple use cases that have quite different approaches and technologies, which is why the Cloud Native Computing Foundation continues to attract a diverse set of members committed to reducing market confusion and inertia," said Dan Kohn, executive director of Cloud Native Computing Foundation. "We are thrilled to welcome another member in China -- ChaoSuan -- while storage, database, IaaS and search functionality are other key concerns with web-scale computing that Crunchy, Qbox, StorageOS, and Treasure Data address."

Backed by many of today's most important technology companies and startups, CNCF's goal is to alleviate scalability and efficiency challenges to empower any company to run their infrastructure in a consistent cloud-native way. The five new CNCF members will join a growing group of members that includes well-known cloud technology and enterprise software companies, academic members and end users, as well as a rapidly growing community.
