Kolon Benit is pushing ahead with expanding its Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) business. Kolon Benit announced this on the 23rd.
On the 15th, Kolon Benit held a "Container & Kubernetes Foundation" training session for partner company engineers in Gangnam, Seoul. The training covered the basics of container technology and the operational structure of Kubernetes.
The goal of the training was to equip partners with the ability to provide technical explanations and proposals to customers considering adopting NKP. Kolon Benit held NKP proof-of-concept (PoC) training for managed partner engineers from February to July this year, and also completed NKP installation training in September.
With this container and Kubernetes foundation training added, Kolon Benit has established a three-stage training framework. The company said it has been carrying out partner engineer training in phases to expand its NKP business.
The background to this push is the ongoing modernization of corporate virtualized environments. As demand grows for converting existing applications to container-based systems, securing technical personnel who can design and operate Kubernetes environments has emerged as a challenge.
Kolon Benit determined that partner technical capabilities must first be secured in order to support customers' container transitions in a practical way, and it structured its training program in stages on that basis.
NKP is a container application management platform based on Kubernetes container orchestration. The platform includes functions for consistently managing Kubernetes clusters in on-premises environments and for consistently managing Kubernetes clusters in hybrid and multicloud environments.
Nutanix unveiled NKP 2.19 last August. NKP 2.19 added "NKP Metal" for bare-metal environments, "NKP Full Stack" for virtualized environments, and an AI application catalog. Along with this, Nutanix expanded support for running AI workloads across virtual machine and container environments in parallel.
As the domestic distributor for Nutanix, Kolon Benit plans to go beyond infrastructure supply by identifying container transition challenges for partner companies and customers, and strengthening its support system for building and operating container transitions for partners and customers. It also plans to expand hands-on advanced NKP courses and broaden technical validation support for customers.
Choi Sang-moon, executive managing director at Kolon Benit, said companies that have completed virtualization modernization are now considering container-based operations as the next step, adding that in the transition to container-based operations, the greater challenge is not the platform itself but the personnel needed to handle it. He said partner technical capabilities are directly tied to the competitiveness of the domestic NKP ecosystem, and added that Kolon Benit plans to provide phased training and technical support to create a foundation for the joint growth of partners and customers.
