Blog post from Replicated
KNIME, a data science platform, has successfully modernized its on-premises products using Replicated to enhance its distribution workflow and cater to customer-managed environments. The transition involved shifting from a monolithic server to a Kubernetes-based infrastructure, which allowed for greater flexibility and scalability in handling customer demands. This modernization journey included overcoming internal skepticism and customer apprehensions about Kubernetes, which were alleviated through training, communication, and the support of Replicated’s features like automated updates and support bundles. The introduction of KNIME Hub, a cloud-based platform, facilitated collaboration and automation, addressing the needs of both small teams and large enterprises. By leveraging Replicated, KNIME has been able to streamline installations and updates, reducing complexity while maintaining control over deployments. The partnership with Replicated has also provided KNIME with valuable insights into customer usage and requirements, enhancing their ability to support and engage with their clients effectively.
