Our Vision

We strive to make DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code accessible for everyone. Where application developers can focus on building applications rather than writing thousands of lines of code to automate well known operational workflows and compliance standards. Just as public clouds consolidated storage, compute, network, and OS into an out-of-box Infrastructure-as-a-Service, we will do the same for DevOps and cloud security.

“Inside Amazon and Azure, they manage millions of workloads with thousand odd people with the latest and greatest of security, scale and availability, while in an average enterprise every 50 odd servers require at least one operator. A well defined compliance standard like PCI takes 6-12 months. There is obviously a gap, mainstream IT ought to have access to these Hyper-scale automation techniques” – Venkat Thiruvengadam, CEO, DuploCloud.

Venkat Thiruvengadam

Founder, CEO & Board Member

Venkat is among the handful of people who pioneered the public cloud technology more than a decade back. He was an early engineer at Microsoft Azure, the first developer and founding member in Azure’s networking team. He wrote significant parts of Azure compute and network controller stack where he saw Azure grow from a hundred-odd servers to millions of nodes in just a few years. After leaving Microsoft he realized that such hyperscale automation techniques have not made their way outside of companies like AWS, Microsoft and Google. This led Venkat to form DuploCloud with a goal to bring the hyperscale automation techniques to main street IT.
