Operating cloud-native software more easily and efficiently

The market for DevOps solutions is growing rapidly: according to IMARC, the market volume amounted to over USD 10 billion last year and is expected to rise to over USD 60 billion by 2033. At the same time, the complexity of operating cloud and hybrid infrastructures is increasing. mogenius offers companies a solution to overcome these challenges automatically and efficiently.

The need for more efficient DevOps solutions is growing enormously. mogenius offers a strong platform for companies that want to modernize their software delivery. We are convinced that the team and its technology will play a decisive role in the European market.

The platform optimizes and automates operational processes, allowing development teams to focus more on software development instead of infrastructure management.

Up to 60% less time required for DevOps teams

Kubernetes-based cloud environments in particular often require time-consuming manual processes. With the Kubernetes Manager from mogenius, resources can be grouped and assigned to specific teams. Developers receive real-time insights into their clusters and can resolve problems independently - without the need for lengthy support.

According to mogenius, this approach leads to time savings of up to 60%, as errors can be identified and rectified more quickly.

New capital for growth and technology expansion

mogenius plans to use the new funding to expand its partner network in Europe and further develop the platform. A particular focus will be on AI-supported monitoring and automation solutions to further simplify the operation of cloud-native software.

D11Z fits perfectly with our vision of making the use of cloud-native technologies more economical. Their network in the tech scene and their expertise in cloud technologies will support us in our growth.
