STRADVISION is a leader in the automotive technology sector.

At-a-Glance

STRADVISION, a leader in the automotive technology sector, adopted Rancher Prime to simplify managing its growing Kubernetes estate and optimize its operations. After implementation, STRADVISION experienced significant improvements in performance, reliability and efficiency. The feedback provided in this spotlight has been collected and verified through a survey on SUSE's customers conducted by UserEvidence, an independent research firm.

Challenges and solution

Aiming to deliver safe autonomous-driving to the masses, STRADVISION develops and delivers smart AI-based camera perception technology at a fraction of the cost of its competition. In particular, STRADVISION is developing SVNET, a deep learning-based recognition AI. Developing AI requires significant computational resources and learning data. To maintain its go-to-market strategy, STRADVISION strives to keep costs low while using the best available technologies. It adopted Kubernetes in a digital transformation initiative to optimize scalability for managing these resources and to prepare for future cloud migrations to AWS and GCP. However, as its cluster environment expanded, the company found standalone Kubernetes too complex to manage and maintain without an orchestrator. Seeking a cluster management solution, STRADVISION initially considered Red Hat OpenShift but ultimately selected Rancher Prime.

“We introduced Kubernetes to make container management more convenient, but managing Kubernetes itself required a lot of extra effort. Connecting master and worker nodes, checking and controlling the status of numerous containers within the cluster, and debugging when issues arose — operating Kubernetes in its open source state required a lot of effort and expertise from many IT professionals, which led to an increase in IT operational costs. Through Rancher Prime, we were able to reduce disruption, respond faster to customer requests, maximize efficiency, contribute to cost savings, and eventually deliver greater value to customers.”

Outcomes

After implementing Rancher Prime, STRADVISION successfully simplified managing, deploying and scaling its machine learning workloads on Kubernetes. Ensuring seamless integration with cutting-edge technologies and compliance with safety standards, Rancher Prime modernized STRADVISION’s GPU resource allocation, enabling stable services and tailored solutions to customers on-demand with minimal human intervention. The impact has accelerated innovation, maximized efficiencies and delivered substantial cost savings to customers.
