Nuon gives vendors a secure, auditable architecture to manage a fleet of BYOC and single-tenant deployments, along with the day-2 operations their customers expect. This gives enterprise buyers the security, compliance, and data residency they require — without vendors having to build and maintain that infrastructure themselves.
