production and they are using Rook to provide cheap, reliable, and fast storage to scientific
users.

public welfare agency, responsible for 1/3 of the state budget of Norway. They find a massive
simplification of management and maintenance for their Ceph clusters by adopting Rook.
- Replicated delivers "SaaS On-Prem" and are the creators of
open-source kURL: a custom Kubernetes distro creator that software vendors use

kURL, so all installations include Rook to manage highly available storage that the software
vendor can depend on.

and marketplace in the world and services millions of users all across the globe. Rook enables
them to save both time and money in the long term and allows their IT operations team to function
