Ondat - A Kubernetes data plane that scales

About

Since its founding in 2015, Ondat evolved into a provider of a cloud-native storage platform for Kubernetes with over 5,500 installed clusters. The platform allows different cloud storages to share their data into a pool that continues the exchange with applications in any technology and on any infrastructure. The company was known as StorageOS until October 2021.

My responsibility: Product Design / Visual Design

Challenge

Create a SaaS platform superior to competitors in style, usability, and practicality
Meet the high expectations of Cloud and DevOps Engineers for daily work support
Fill the talent gap quickly without the months-long internal hiring process
Deliver a well-branded digital product under a fixed Board deadline

Solution

Dual focus on branding and development
The partnership addressed both the visual identity and technical implementation. Ondat needed to establish a new brand (having recently rebranded from StorageOS) while simultaneously building a platform that would stand up to scrutiny from technical users who evaluate tools critically.

Outcome

Ondat filled the talent gap in 1 month, avoiding the months-long hiring process
It also designed a new competitive brand identity in just 2 weeks instead of months
The company launched a completely new product for complex container management in 5 months total
