Tata Communications to offer an OpenStack and
Kubernetes-based hybrid cloud for infrastructure and application
modernization
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 Hat OpenShift Container
Platform as part of the company’s Container–as-a-Service (CaaS)
offering. The addition of Red Hat OpenShift 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.

managing a technology environment with data, applications and

infrastructure and applications in one integrated environment,
helping them become more nimble and better respond to customer
needs.”
