“Many of our customers utilize Cloud Foundry and we’re excited to support the community with our powerful logging integration,” said Chris Nguyen, Chief Executive Officer, LogDNA. “It’s an honor to be part of this journey with Cloud Foundry Foundation.” LogDNA, founded in 2015, is a leading provider of Log Management applications that provide deep insight into development and production environments.

"The resources and vast network the Cloud Foundry Foundation has built for their community will serve us well as we carve out our own place in that very community,” said Matt Atkin, Project Manager, SkySilk Cloud Services. “We highly value supporting open source projects like Cloud Foundry, as providing a more efficient architecture for deploying applications is crucial for the future of cloud technology." SkySilk Cloud Services is a boutique-style cloud service provider founded in 2015 that offers simple, scalable and affordable cloud computing solutions.

“Zettaset is pleased to be part of the Cloud Foundry community,” said Jim Vogt, President and CEO, Zettaset. “The rapid adoption of DevOps and cloud native initiatives has increased the amount of data in use, which in turn creates new exposure points for a breach. Cloud Foundry’s leadership position as a DevOps platform enables Zettaset to further extend its encryption solutions to this exploding market.” Founded in 2010, Zettaset is a software-defined encryption solution that can be transparently deployed across all physical and virtual enterprise environments.
