# One cluster for the entire organization

Designed for the enterprise architect, Kuma ships with a native multi-mesh support to support multiple teams from one control plane. Combined with native service discovery, global and remote deployments modes, and native integration with APIM solutions, Kuma checks all the boxes.

  • Built for the enterprise architect for mission-critical use-cases.
  • Multi-Mesh from one control plane to lower Ops complexity.
  • Scalable horizontally in standalone or multi-zone mode.
