The company also announced that it has expanded integration features to further support Amazon EC2 Container Registry (Amazon ECR), Google Compute Engine, and Microsoft Azure. Furthermore, Apcera has a large number of technology partners such as Apigee, New Relic, Twistlock, CoreOS, and Docker; and system integrators such as Logimethods, TCS, Zensar, and Ammeon, which help the company in strengthening its foothold in the CaaS market. The company majorly caters to the Americas. Recently, it expanded its geographic presence by opening an office in London in December 2015. This expansion strategy would help the company to meet the increasing demand of customers from EMEA.
