Multi-prem software delivery is a means of delivering 3rd party software entirely agnostic of the environment it will be deployed to. With a significant rise in the need for enterprise data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance, multi-tenant SaaS poses more challenges than benefits for organizations with sensitive data concerns. Taking advantage of containerized architecture and software development pipelines brings automation, uniformity, scalability, and observability to software deployment and management. This enables the packaging of cloud-native applications for multiple customer environments, including on-premises, private clouds, and air gapped servers. Replicated’s customers include HashiCorp, Puppet, UiPath, Rocket.Chat, CircleCI, PluralSight, and Tripwire. Currently, more than half of the Fortune 100 uses Replicated to manage applications.
“Software vendors want to focus on building and pushing differentiated product features, rather than on the complexities of delivering their applications into customer-controlled environments,” said Albert Koh, Vice President, Owl Rock, a division of Blue Owl Capital. “We saw many of our portfolio companies already using Replicated to address their customers’ constantly evolving security, compliance, and regulatory requirements to manage workloads and applications in their own environments, whether on-prem, private or public cloud, or air gapped. We are thrilled to partner with Replicated to continue building and pioneering their multi-prem application delivery platform.”
“We’re big believers in helping teams focus on their own differentiation and Replicated helps us do that,” said Rob Zuber, CTO, CircleCI. “Replicated mobilizes our engineering teams to focus on our core competencies while staying connected to customer needs and requirements without distraction.”

What used to take customers months and significant engineering time is now a faster, frictionless delivery of enterprise-grade applications, and the need is only growing. According to a recent survey conducted by Dimensional Research and sponsored by Replicated, out of 400+ global participants, over 90 percent reported growth in on-prem sales over the past five years, with 86% using Kubernetes. The demand for on-prem software continues to be as strong, if not stronger, than the public cloud option.
“Software vendors continue to partner with Replicated to grow their businesses, save money, and quickly deliver the modern applications their customers demand,” added Sunil Dhaliwal, General Partner, Amplify Partners. “We’ve been very impressed by their rapid expansion and are thrilled to extend our investment in the company.”
Replicated was founded in 2015 by Miller and Marc Campbell, CTO, who previously founded Look IO, a mobile live-chat program that was acquired by LivePerson.
