INDIA: To offer its enterprise customers a reliable hybrid cloud experience across the globe, Tata Communications has selected Red Hat Cloud Suite to enhance its IZO Private Cloud service.

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. 

Srinivasan CR, Chief Digital Officer, Tata Communications, said “We’re committed to harnessing the power of open source technologies to develop enterprise-class cloud services to help accelerate our customers’ digital transformation.”   

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.  

Radhesh Balakrishnan, General Manager, OpenStack, Red Hat, said, “Today’s organizations are often faced with the complexities of managing a technology environment with data, applications and devices living in multiple clouds. Because of this, they often require high flexibility and increased visibility across their entire cloud and IT infrastructure. By using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform, organizations like Tata Communications can modernize both their cloud infrastructure and applications in one integrated environment, helping them become more nimble and better respond to customer needs.”
