Case Study: a safety technology company achieves significant annual savings with Canonical's Managed Kafka

Safety technology leader saves hundreds of thousands per year with Canonical’s Managed Kafka

A safety technology company, a leading provider of connected safety solutions, faced challenges managing its critical Apache Kafka infrastructure in-house. This led to inefficiencies, troubleshooting delays, and an inability to perform in-place upgrades on its compliant Azure Government cloud. Seeking to outsource management without compromising on strict regulatory compliance, the company found that no SaaS vendor could operate in its environment except for Canonical and its Charmed Kafka managed service.

Canonical implemented and now fully manages the company's Kafka deployment on its existing Azure Government cloud. The solution provided by Canonical supports seamless in-place upgrades, handles all maintenance and security patching, and has ensured zero compliance audit issues since adoption. The company reports significant annual cost savings and has experienced no outages, allowing it to focus on its core business while improving service levels for its customers.
