C.A. Mobile Increases Infrastructure Flexibility with Red Hat and Dell OpenStack Cloud
C.A. Mobile collaborates with Red Hat and Dell to build a scalable
infrastructure to help meet traffic demand changes on popular artists’
websites
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that C.A. Mobile, a leading mobile services
provider in Japan, built a flexible infrastructure to support its
websites with an OpenStack cloud solution from Red Hat and Dell.
OpenStack’s infrastructure customization and auto-scaling features led
C.A. Mobile to pursue the Dell
Red Hat Cloud Solution, powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform. Since deployment, C.A. Mobile's internal testing of
the new OpenStack-based solution has significantly increased its server
delivery speed, reducing original operating system installation and
server provisioning time from half a day to 10 minutes.
C.A. Mobile, a subsidiary company of CyberAgent, Inc., has developed
mobile internet business websites with services now spanning mobile
media, content, and advertising. As the company supports popular
artists’ mobile strategies and websites, it needed to build a modern
infrastructure that could respond quickly to environmental changes and
traffic spikes while remaining an on-premise environment. In the past,
C.A. Mobile operated almost all of its systems through an on-premise
physical server, sometimes using public cloud resources to handle
sudden, rapid traffic fluctuations on artists’ websites when a new music
release or event was announced. Finding their in-house server unable to
keep up with the dynamic traffic increases, CA Mobile required an
infrastructure that could respond to environmental changes from spikes
in web traffic without manual intervention or frequent maintenance.
Wanting an innovative open source solution that could meet their
requirements for a modern system infrastructure, C.A. Mobile looked to
OpenStack, the popular open source cloud platform. With an accelerated
timeline for delivery, C.A. Mobile wanted to partner with reliable,
experienced technology partners with extensive production OpenStack
experience, and turned to Red Hat and Dell. Dell and Red Hat have long
collaborated to bring enterprise-grade solutions, including OpenStack,
to customers around the world, including joint reference architecture
support and consulting services.
C.A. Mobile chose the Dell Red Hat Cloud Solution, combining Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform with Dell Power Edge R630 servers
and Dell Storage PS6210S and PS4100 arrays. The OpenStack-based Dell Red
Hat Cloud Solution quickly started operating in production as the
platform for websites for popular artists, meeting C.A. Mobile's needs
to modernize their infrastructure.
After implementing its new OpenStack infrastructure, C.A. Mobile’s
primary objective was to work with the automated scaling service
OpenStack Orchestration (Heat), which automatically builds an
environment with multiple virtual machines. Working with Red Hat
Consulting, C.A. Mobile was able to quickly achieve their complex
auto-scaling goals. And, with Red Hat Training, C.A. Mobile brought
OpenStack skills to their existing IT staff through hands-on training
using real workloads on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
infrastructure to perform production tasks, such as network
configuration and infrastructure management. And, only five days after
starting training, C.A. Mobile infrastructure team members achieved Red
Hat OpenStack certification.

“The Dell Red Hat Cloud Solution, powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform, significantly increased the delivery speed of our
servers. As long as a master image is created, it can be copied to
launch any number of instances. Based on our experience, previously,
about half a day was needed for work such as installing the operating
system and provisioning the server. Now, based on our internal testing
and work to date, this takes about 10 minutes. The faster delivery speed
brings us business advantages, and our operating costs have decreased.”
Radhesh Balakrishnan, general manager, OpenStack, Red Hat
“We are pleased to continue our collaboration with C.A. Mobile to help
them take advantage of OpenStack’s scaling capabilities to meet their
needs for a modern cloud infrastructure capable of meeting changing
demands in real-time. We are thrilled that they turned to Red Hat and
Dell as their trusted partners to help them achieve their production
OpenStack goals. The results they have achieved are impressive, but also
indicative of OpenStack's power.”
Jim Ganthier, vice president and general manager, Engineered
Solutions and Cloud, Dell
"Enterprise customers are continuing to require robust and more scalable
cloud infrastructures that empower them to deliver business results.

open source-based cloud solutions with greater flexibility and agility
so they can achieve their intended business outcomes."
