With the adoption of the Ericsson Apcera platform, Cygate can offer enterprise
customers a new way of modernizing and automating software deployment. The
platform offers an efficient and secure way to deploy, orchestrate, and govern
diverse workloads across multiple clouds. The unique policy and governance
capabilities of the platform enable enterprises to have full control of the
deployed applications. Cygate's customers will be able 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 advanced IT governance and
control. The Ericsson Apcera platform also provides secure deployment of Docker
containers, and is optimized for DevOps.
Derek Collison, CEO and founder, Apcera, says: "As cloud infrastructure becomes
more complex, security becomes even more critical. Enabled by Apcera's policy-
driven technology, Cygate allows customers to innovate quickly with full
confidence and trust, using container technologies and microservices. Ericsson's
Apcera platform, ensures that innovation today enables organizations'
infrastructure to scale securely for the future.
Charlotta Sund, Head of Ericsson in Region Northern Europe and Central Asia,
says: "Cloud is emerging as a major disruptor of industries bringing new
opportunities for customer engagement and business growth. The ability to
capitalize on these opportunities becomes a competitive differentiator in
today's market realities. We see policy-driven PaaS as a key success to cloud
as it provides speed, security, governance and integrity. We are committed to
work together with Cygate to extend the cloud offering with the most relevant
services to adress enterprises that would like to accelerate innovation and time
