Combatica Relies on ionir Kubernetes Solution

ionir, Inc., a C5 Capital Ltd portfolio company, and Combatica Ltd, entered into a partnership that will help to save the lives of counter-terrorist forces and the victims of terrorism WW.

The partnership will allow ionir’s data as-a-service capability to enhance the speed, scalability and optimisation of Combatica’s virtual training platform.

ionir’s cloud-native storage and data management platform for Kubernetes combines SDS and data management with data mobility. ionir enables enterprises to safely move any volume of data from one cloud region to another within 40s, as opposed to 40h, securely.

Combatica offers an extended reality (XR) product designed to simulate hyper-realistic training scenarios and terrains for special forces and law enforcement personnel, addressing the issue of insufficient unit readiness due to outdated training technology. This technology is currently in use by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

With this partnership, ionir will provide enhanced capabilities to the XR Platform for combat training to allow it to be deployed and managed at scale. The cloud and data services provided by ionir will enable Combatica to simulate any urban environment WW, accurately and at scale.

Erel Herzog, co-founder and chief strategy officer, Combatica, said: “The Combatica-ionir partnership is a powerful combination. ionir’s specialization in transferring massive amounts of data will be crucial to efficiently manage our technology’s seamless and rapid deployment.“

Jacob Cherian, CEO, ionir, said: “We’re excited to showcase ionir’s Kubernetes solution with Combatica, which will allow Combatica to parallelize data management, to scale deployments seamlessly, and support multiple customer environments across public and private clouds with one integrated solution stack.”  

Andre Pienaar, founder and CEO, C5 Capital, said: “C5 Capital supports and invests in Israel’s technology sector for the long term. We are excited to help form new partnerships that will save the lives of soldiers and law enforcement officers combating the threat of extremist terrorists and ensuring the safe return of the victims of terrorism worldwide.“
