# Replicated

> Replicated is a commercial software distribution platform that helps independent software vendors ship and manage self-hosted, Kubernetes-based applications inside their customers' own environments - on-prem, air-gapped, VPC, VM, bare metal, or edge. Founded in 2015 by Grant Miller and Marc Campbell, the company gives SaaS vendors the tooling to package, install, license, update, and support enterprise deployments they don't directly control, letting them close security-sensitive enterprise and government customers without building distribution infrastructure themselves.
