About DaoCloud

Established in late 2014, DaoCloud positions itself as a key player in the cloud-native technology sector, providing enterprise-level cloud computing solutions. The company was founded by Roby Chen, who currently serves as CEO, alongside Yong Yu and Yong (Frank) Yu. Roby Chen has also been recognized as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Ambassador since 2020. The firm was founded to facilitate the migration of traditional enterprise applications to the cloud, thereby enabling digital transformation.

DaoCloud's core business revolves around its proprietary cloud operating system, DaoCloud Enterprise (DCE). The latest iteration, DCE 5.0, is a scalable platform that supports heterogeneous infrastructures, including multi-cloud and edge environments. The platform provides a suite of tools covering the entire application lifecycle, from development and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) to operations and maintenance. Revenue is generated through various delivery models, including public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions tailored to specific client needs. The company serves a diverse client base across sectors such as fintech, manufacturing, automotive, retail, and government, with notable customers like Bank of Communications, SAIC Motor Corporation, and McDonald's Corporation.

DCE 5.0 integrates a range of functionalities including container management, service mesh for microservice governance, multi-cloud management, and observability through detailed metrics and topology maps. A key feature is its native support for DevOps, which automates and standardizes the application delivery process. The platform also offers an integrated application store with a wide array of middleware and databases. DaoCloud has a strong focus on the open-source community, ranking third globally in contributions to Kubernetes and holding leadership positions in other projects like Istio and containerd. The company has also open-sourced several of its own projects, including Clusterpedia, Merbridge, and HwameiStor, which are now part of the CNCF Sandbox.
