Portfolio highlights

  • Clastix — Clastix is an enterprise Kubernetes infrastructure company, purpose-built to solve the operational challenges that emerge when Kubernetes runs at scale: cluster sprawl, fragile multi-tenancy, and the mounting cost of over-provisioned hardware and memory. The company's breakthrough is architectural. By combining hosted control planes with hard multi-tenancy, Clastix enables telcos, cloud providers, MSPs, and platform teams to run many isolated Kubernetes environments more efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively than traditional approaches allow. Clastix was founded by engineers who understood these pain points from direct experience running Kubernetes in production. That same commitment to quality engineering runs through everything the company builds – an approach shaped as much by Italian engineering tradition as by technical rigour. The result is infrastructure software that is functional, elegant, and highly scalable. The company's open source credentials are equally strong. Clastix donated Capsule to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, co-founded Cloud Native Days Italy, and continues to evolve Kamaji – contributing not just code, but community and standards to the broader Kubernetes ecosystem. Clastix's platform is trusted by customers including NVIDIA and Mistral AI – organisations that operate some of the most demanding and innovation-intensive infrastructure environments in the world. Their confidence is a direct measure of what the platform can handle. Headquartered in Naples, Italy, with customers and partners across cloud, data centre, edge, and AI infrastructure globally, Clastix is where world-class engineering meets the real operational complexity of modern Kubernetes at scale.
