D2iQ was an American technology company based in San Francisco, California which develops software that simplifies Kubernetes lifecycle management, deployment to hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments and enables advanced application use cases. Its flagship product is called the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP).
History[edit]
The company, initially named Mesosphere, was established in 2013 by Benjamin Hindman, Tobias Knaup[1] and Florian Leibert. In June 2014 the company announced $10.5 million of venture capital investment from Andreessen Horowitz, Data Collective and Fuel Capital.[2] A second round of $36 million investment was announced in December 2014, led by Khosla Ventures.[3][4]
In August 2015, it was reported that Microsoft was in talks to acquire Mesophere. Valuations ranged from $150 million up to $1 billion, but nothing was officially disclosed.[5][6][7]
Another investment round of $73.5 million in March 2016 was led by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and included Microsoft.[8][9][10][11]
The company was mentioned by marketing firm Gartner in 2016.[12] It was listed by TechCrunch in 2016 for companies having valuation ranging in between $500 million to $1 billion.[13] It had a 2016 contract with the United States government, and reportedly an investment from In-Q-Tel, controlled by the US Central Intelligence Agency.[14][15]
On April 19, 2016, Mesosphere open-sourced Datacenter Operating System.[16] At the launch, Autodesk announced that they were able to reduce running AWS instances by 66% using DC/OS.[17]
On May 7, 2018, the company announced a $125 million Series D round of investment.[18][better source needed]
As of August 5, 2019, Mesosphere Inc. was renamed D2iQ.[19][self-published source?]
On September 20, 2021, D2iQ launched the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) V2 and Kaptain AI/ML.[20]

Mesosphere DC/OS (short for Datacenter Operating System), is an open-source, distributed operating system built with Apache Mesos.[23] It was developed by Mesosphere (before the company renamed) and announced in April 2016.[16] The difference between DC/OS and other cluster managers is the ability to provide dedicated container scheduling.[citation needed] The latest release, DC/OS 2.2.1, was on November 5, 2020. DC/OS was replaced with the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform in 2020.[citation needed]
Origins[edit]
The term datacenter operating system was promoted in the paper The Datacenter Needs an Operating System,[24] published at the University of California, Berkeley. In the paper Zaharia et al. describe four areas of functionality that a datacenter OS should provide:
- Resource sharing
- Data sharing
- Programming abstractions
- Debugging and monitoring
The paper promoted the Mesos project for resource sharing among frameworks on a shared compute cluster.
