In today’s cloud-centric world, data privacy and security are paramount concerns for organizations across all sectors. The challenge lies in effectively monitoring environments while ensuring sensitive data remains protected and preventing exposure to external online components and third parties. groundcover has announced OnPrem and airGapped, the modern observability backend tailor-made for offline environments.

groundcover’s proprietary eBPF sensor and inCloud infrastructure enable all the observability data (logs, metrics, traces) to remain within the current environment at all times. This ensures comprehensive monitoring while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the data.

groundcover directly tackles two of today’s most critical organizational concerns: observability costs and security and privacy. By eliminating the need to send and store observability data outside the company’s environment, groundcover decouples costs from data volume, reducing the total cost of ownership for observability by over 86%, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.

groundcover’s OnPrem provides enhanced security by maintaining all components, including the frontend, on-premises, with only secure user authentication taking place online, ensuring robust data protection. The airGapped solution delivers complete offline isolation by keeping all data, backend processes, frontend interaction, and user authentication strictly on-premises and offline, eliminating any exposure to the public internet. This creates a robust, isolated environment for mission-critical operations where security is non-negotiable.

groundcover integrates smoothly into the existing infrastructure, providing a seamless observability experience in Kubernetes platforms, including RedHat OpenShift and VMware Tanzu.
