Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, and Huawei, a global provider of ICT solutions, join together to offer an appliance based private cloud Infrastructure with Canonical Bootstack- managed services. This allows enterprises to benefit from OpenSource, on-premise, cloud infrastructure with no hassle of managing complex cloud technologies as BootStack is a true end-to-end managed solutions including design, implementation, ongoing maintenance, and the operational transfer of the management function to the customer if desired.
Enterprise Private Cloud Infrastructure on-premise
This partnership enables the enterprise customers to build their own cloud and develop cloud-native applications, as both companies with huge presence in opensource market, collaborate to offer the enterprise customers access to world class OpenStack engineering, operations and support team who will build and operate the cloud infrastructure with bullet-proof SLAs either on-premises or hosted.
What is included?
A pure ‘upstream’ infrastructure, with security updates
The official distributions of OpenStack and Kubernetes on Ubuntu delivers a pure ‘upstream’ versions of the infrastructure orchestration for organisations to use privately.
Like Ubuntu itself, Canonical Kubernetes and Canonical OpenStack are free to use, and Canonical backs it up with enterprise support, consulting, and management services. Canonical makes it secure, and easy to deploy, operate, and upgrade.
Whether you want a dev-test cluster or a production cloud on bare-metal, Ubuntu is your fast path to resilient enterprise infrastructure.
Best hardware for your workloads
Huawei and Canonical collaborate to offer the best hardware combination available for your workloads, whether they run on containers, virtual machines, or directly on the bare-metal. Through a thorough certification process, Huawei and Canonical guarantee a correct functioning of all the underlying components, performance, capacity and first-class SLAs to the whole infrastructure, Software and Hardware.
Starting with a rack of 12 servers, Huawei and Canonical offer a scalable, multi-region capable infrastructure tailored to your specific needs.
Automation with reusable, scalable, secure infrastructure
With full automation for both deployment and ongoing operations, the Canonical distributions offer an agile and enterprise-supported cloud and container infrastructure. Automation keeps costs down and empowers teams to operate their own allocated resources. Give each team the ability to evolve at their own pace, avoiding institutional gridlock. Free your developers to focus on what matters most: your business workloads.
Upgrades on Demand
OpenSource infrastructure, OpenStack and Kubernetes, is moving fast with 2 to 4 releases per year. You want to integrate it with your environment, but still preserve the ability to get the newest features. Canonical OpenStack and Kubernetes have a flexible architecture but guarantees the ability to upgrade. We ensure you’ll be able to move to new versions of your infrastructure technology within a few days of their upstream release. Avoid ‘homegrown snowflakes’ for consistent quality across multiple deployments in multiple clouds or teams.
Benefits:
- Cost: Huawei and Canonical work together to offer the best value for the dollar on your open infrastructure. Having it managed by Canonical, reduces the operational cost of finding, training and retaining a team of operators, allowing you to have your team focused on your workloads.
- Time to cloud: A successful infrastructure is one that attracts workloads and can be consumed right away. Canonical and Huawei are committed to delivering an infrastructure you can use in the shortest timeframe, and it includes a tenant onboarding plan to help the end users benefit from the cloud immediately.
- Technology made simple: Infrastructure software is complex, evolves fast and can be difficult to implement and use. Canonical and Huawei have been working on OpenStack and Kubernetes from the inception of those projects, and has applied a simplicity principle to their services. We reduce the knowledge entry point and make complex technology easy to consume and evolve.
- The infrastructure you need: Canonical OpenStack and Kubernetes, through the Foundation Cloud approach, will provide you with an infrastructure tailored to your specific needs, and flexible to accommodate to any changes in requirements, scale or technology that can take place over time.
- Reliable operations: Canonical and Huawei will deliver a managed service to the full infrastructure reliably. Canonical is a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider, and a founding member of the OpenStack foundation. Our operations teams will actively monitor your infrastructure keeping the highest level of security, data protection and uptime so you can focus on your business.
