Red Hat helps Tata Communications offer a hybrid cloud experience

Red Hat has announced that Tata Communications 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.

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 data center 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 HatOpenStack 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.

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 micro services platform.
