UPDATED: Ericsson Cloud System gets hyperscale upgrade
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Demand for cloud is growing but concerns around security and governance are
slowing adoption.
* Ericsson Cloud System adds new software and hardware to ensure highly
governed, secure and hyperscale cloud is possible while increasing speed and
control.
* For the operator it enables the opportunity to provide competitive cloud
based offerings focused on modern, automated IT, including operator cloud
transformation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), IT and commercial
cloud.
Demand for cloud agility, operational scale and associated economics is growing
but existing concerns around security and governance are slowing the full
adoption of cloud by the world's largest enterprises.
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today introduces new software and hardware to its
Ericsson Cloud System to mitigate this need, creating new disruptive levels of
performance, operations, compliance, economics and can work across multiple
clouds to achieve competitive differentiation and value-add for operators and
their large enterprise customers.
New products in Ericsson Cloud System include; Ericsson HDS 8000 (Hyperscale
Datacenter System), built on Intel® Rack Scale Architecture, Ericsson Secure
Cloud Storage and Ericsson Continuum ® delivering the world's best policy driven
platform for hybrid cloud leveraging Ericsson's investment in Apcera.
Data, applications and distributed cloud infrastructures can now be automated
and governed for security and compliance, meeting global enterprise policy
requirements and geo specific regulations. A platform that lets business build
trust in their systems as quickly as they embrace new technology.
Ericsson HDS 8000 is a new generation of hyperscale datacenter systems that uses
Intel® Rack Scale Architecture for a disaggregated hardware approach to
dramatically improve efficiency, utilization, automation and total cost of
ownership.
Hans Vestberg, Ericsson President and CEO says: "Technology change is
exponential in the ICT industry but investment in infrastructure cannot be. With
Intel and other industry leaders we are bringing a hyperscale approach across
both software and hardware, we are re-inventing the future data center concept
from a total architecture and economics perspective."
Brian Krzanich, CEO, Intel Corporation says "We believe it's important for the
industry to collaborate to transform network infrastructure and accelerate the
delivery of telecommunications, cloud and data center services. Our efforts with
Ericsson and their use of Intel® Rack Scale Architecture will drive continued
innovation in the data center."
HDS 8000 uses optical interconnect. Combining a disaggregated hardware
architecture with optical interconnect removes the traditional distance and
capacity limitations of electrical connections. This enables a more efficient
pooling of resources, which has a positive impact on utilization and energy
consumption.
Ericsson Secure Cloud Storage is a pre-integrated portfolio of data services
complementing the policy-driven hybrid PaaS layer, streamlining web scale
development and deployment of new data rich applications. The data services
portfolio adds leading cloud software databases that span traditional relational
databases to web scale, big data NoSQL type databases. Ericsson is partnering
with Cleversafe in this area, a leading provider of web scale object storage.
Ericsson's first announced product is secure object storage capable of
controlling access with policy and guaranteeing carrier-grade data and system
security and integrity of data.
Ericsson Continuum® is a unique policy driven PaaS with hybrid cloud support for
application deployment, orchestration and governance through Ericsson Continuum.
The unique policy-driven PaaS now supports a hybrid approach across multiple
clouds, enabling global enterprise to take advantage of public cloud, on-premise
private cloud and industry cloud infrastructure resources to achieve the best
levels of performance, agility, scale, cost-effectiveness and compliance, within
the context of strong IT governance and control. Ericsson Continuum also
provides the most secure deployment of Docker containers.
Ericsson Cloud System maintains full support for OPNFV through the Ericsson
Networks Software 15B release to drive a successful transformation to telecom
cloud operations. New software announced will be generally available from Q2.
Ericsson HDS 8000 will be available in Q4.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Ericsson will talk about how to
realize a digital industrialization strategy and showcase a number of products
and solutions for this. Learn more about Ericsson Cloud at
