Enterprises are modernizing at an unprecedented pace. The shift toward cloud-native infrastructure, the rise of intensive AI workloads, and the legal mandate for full data sovereignty are forcing organizations to rethink their IT foundations. To meet this demand, Kubermatic and Dell Technologies are joining forces to deliver a unified, sovereign-ready infrastructure stack.
Control without compromise
Kubermatic and Dell Technologies bring complementary strengths to the table: open-source Kubernetes expertise on one side, enterprise-grade hardware on the other. As a Dell Partner, Kubermatic now pairs its platform directly with Dell’s infrastructure portfolio, giving organizations a complete, validated stack that meets the region’s strict requirements for data sovereignty and operational control.
Solving Global Infrastructure Priorities
This partnership is engineered to solve the most pressing challenges facing CTOs and Platform Engineers worldwide:
Virtualization modernization: Organizations are actively reassessing their virtualization strategies. The appetite for open, flexible alternatives has never been stronger and the window to act is now.
AI infrastructure readiness: AI workloads are moving from pilot to production faster than most infrastructure roadmaps anticipated. The compute, storage, and orchestration demands that come with them require a purpose-built foundation.
Data sovereignty: For enterprises operating in Europe, keeping data and operations within defined borders is not optional. It is a baseline requirement that every infrastructure decision must satisfy.
Operational efficiency: As environments grow more complex, the ability to manage infrastructure consistently and at scale without proportionally growing the team has become a strategic priority.
Technical Excellence: Where Automation Meets Enterprise Hardware
Rather than patching existing limitations, this partnership is built around a clean architectural approach: Kubermatic’s Kubernetes platform as the orchestration and automation layer, running on Dell Technologies infrastructure that enterprises already trust for performance and reliability.
The Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform provides the engine for full cluster lifecycle automation from provisioning and autoscaling to updates and multi-region management. Kubermatic Virtualization extends this capability by enabling organizations to run virtual machines alongside containerized workloads on the same Kubernetes-native platform, creating a seamless path from traditional virtualization to cloud-native environments without operational disruption.
Dell’s hardware portfolio provides the foundation: validated, enterprise-grade compute and storage that eliminates the gap between cloud-native software ambitions and real-world infrastructure requirements.
“Our partnership with Dell Technologies enables enterprises to embrace cloud-native infrastructure on proven, enterprise-grade hardware. Together, we’re helping organizations in Europe to modernize their VMware environments and to build the AI infrastructure of tomorrow, all while maintaining full data sovereignty.”
