Mirantis acquires Docker Enterprise.
Mirantis today announced that it had acquired Docker’s Enterprise business and team. Docker Enterprise was very much the heart of Docker’s product lineup, so this sale leaves Docker as a shell of its former, high-flying unicorn self. Docker, which installed a new CEO earlier this year, says it will continue to focus on tools that will advance developers’ workflows. Mirantis will keep the Docker Enterprise brand alive, which will not create confusion.
With this deal, Mirantis is acquiring the Docker Enterprise Technology Platform and all associated IPs: Docker Enterprise Engine, Docker Trusted Registry, Docker Unified Control Plane and Docker CLI. It will also inherit all Docker Enterprise customers and contracts, its strategic technology alliances and partner programs. Docker and Mirantis will continue working on the Docker platform’s open-source pieces.
