Red Hat Helps Power Tata Communications’ IZO™ Private Cloud with OpenShift and OpenStack
Tata Communications to offer an OpenStack and Kubernetes-based hybrid
cloud for infrastructure and application modernization
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – OpenStack Summit Vancouver 2018--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source
solutions today announced that Tata Communications, a global digital
infrastructure provider, has selected Red Hat Cloud Suite, Red Hat’s
broadest hybrid
cloud offering, to help enhance its IZO™ Private Cloud service. By
implementing Linux and Kubernetes-based
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red
Hat’s massively scalable cloud infrastructure, Tata Communications is
able to offer its enterprise customers a reliable hybrid cloud
experience across the globe.
Today, enterprises are adopting private and hybrid cloud strategies to
help address the complexity and competitive pressures created by the
evolution of new technologies. Tata Communications’ IZO™ Private Cloud
is an integrated cloud platform that allows enterprises to build a
hybrid cloud environment with the flexibility to burst to public cloud
with enterprise-grade control and security. It is part of Tata
Communications’ IZO™ cloud enablement platform that is underpinned by
the company’s global network and partnerships with the world’s biggest
cloud companies.
Tata Communications has adopted Red HatOpenShift Container
Platform as part of the company’s Container–as-a-Service
(CaaS) offering. The addition of Red HatOpenShift Container
Platform helps ensure integrated consistency through the solution stack
and improved datacenter management efficiency, as both the
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and CaaS layers are automated. This
helps Tata Communications reduce time-to-market for new services without
sacrificing existing investments. Additionally, the scale and
operational efficiency of Red Hat OpenStack Platform helps to improve
the customer experience, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
provides a way to accelerate application delivery and DevOps
adoption in enterprises through greater control and visibility.
Red Hat Consulting also worked on the initial deployment and provided
Tata Communications with hands-on expert support and training during the
migration. Through ongoing collaboration with Red Hat, Tata
Communications is bringing an enterprise-class hybrid cloud to market.
This collaboration enables Tata Communications to offer a robust digital
core built around cloud design principles that include delivering a
unified experience, an API-based open framework and a highly available
microservices platform.
