New cloud infrastructure based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform helps Dualtec improve operational efficiency by 35 percent,
enables company to expand cloud services
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
OPENSTACK SUMMIT-Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading
provider of open source solutions, today announced that Dualtec Cloud
Builders, part of the UOLDiveo group, has scaled its cloud environment
and expanded its service offerings with a new
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud based on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux OpenStack Platform. Working with Red Hat to design and deploy its
integrated, OpenStack-based cloud environment in just 45 days, Dualtec
has improved operational efficiency by 35 percent. Dualtec's deployment
represents the first OpenStack-based public cloud in Brazil, following
Dualtec's active participation in the upstream OpenStack community since
2011.
Dualtec originally launched as a telecommunication and Internet
solutions provider for small and medium-sized businesses in Brazil. With
more than 11,000 clients, Dualtec is a cloud computing pioneer in
Brazil, understanding that an integrated environment for managing its
cloud computing infrastructure efficiently would be critical to enabling
the company to scale and grow without increasing operating or other
costs. Believing that OpenStack is the best solution for the cloud,
Dualtec decided to launch the first OpenStack-based cloud in Brazil,
adopting the open source cloud operating system to control compute,
storage, and networking resources. But, Dualtec had an aggressive goal
to launch their new OpenStack cloud environment within 45 days - a
timeline that included everything from designing the architecture to
deployment.
To achieve their goals, Dualtec selected Red Hat as its partner, not
only because of Red Hat's deep OpenStack expertise and support
capabilities, but also because of its focus on security. OpenStack is
highly dependent on its underlying Linux operating system for everything
from service operation and access to hardware resources to system
performance, stability, and security. Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform offers the benefits of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a cloud
infrastructure platform from OpenStack, co-engineered to work seamlessly
together. This integration delivers an optimized foundation designed to
withstand the rigors of a production-ready OpenStack cloud. To help meet
their 45 day deadline, Dualtec worked with Red Hat Consulting to rapidly
design and build the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform-based
IaaS cloud.
With a new cloud infrastructure based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform, Dualtec can easily and cost-effectively scale its
cloud computing environment as the company continues to add new clients
and projects. Dualtec now offers cloud services that can support even
the most demanding applications, such as e-commerce, social media,
mobile, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and
big data. Automating the provisioning and management of cloud resources
with the OpenStack platform has enabled Dualtec to grow without
necessarily increasing its staff of technology experts, enabling them to
achieve 35 percent greater operational efficiency.
