YellowDog


YellowDog Limited is a UK technology company, headquartered in Bristol. YellowDog operates a multi-cloud management solution that identifies the best source of compute for every workload. Using predictive scheduling and orchestration, it determines, in real-time, what compute is available and which job it suits to make sure that deadlines and budgets are met.
The company vision is:
"Help people, businesses and technology reach their full potential through intelligently orchestrating the world’s computing power."

History

YellowDog was founded by Gareth Williams in January 2015. It was incorporated as YellowDog Limited in January 2015 with its first render application launched for sale in November 2015. It launched its second application: batch processing for Financial Services in March 2018 at Europe 2018. Since then, YellowDog technology is used in multiple industries and global markets.
Originally envisioned as a peer to peer power sharing network, YellowDog soon changed its power source from private providers to public cloud infrastructure and idle capacity in a handful of company data centers. It uses this underutilised power to give businesses and enterprise the processing power they need to complete their complex workloads.
YellowDog received crowdfunding from Seedrs in 2015 and subsequent investment through private equity networks and VC investment.
