Partnership to provide cloud management solutions

The SYMKLOUD Series, with pre-integrated OpenStack solutions, will be able to offer designers a broad set of scalable solutions in cloud environments. This sponsorship is a ignificant first milestone in the Kontron long-term strategy to design high density, integrated platform solutions for SDI.

Previous collaborations have included a partnership with ISVs to enable Kontron to work with OpenStack as a bare-metal installation of their cloud-aware applications. This includes the cloud provisioning of massively scalable content delivery applications for multiscreen subscriber services and M2M or IoT backend cloud solutions.

 “Our goal is to make sure cloud providers, along with mobile and cable operators, can maximize the high density design of the Symkloud platform to easily scale their workloads as required,” commented Benoit Robert, Strategy Director at Kontron, Communications Business Unit. “Creating multiple on-demand instances with OpenStack is truly seamless on Symkloud and offers customers the incredible flexibility to deploy services in public and private clouds.”

“We are pleased to see Kontron helping telcos and cloud service providers leverage OpenStack to meet their unique business and technical requirements,” said Jonathan Bryce, Executive Director, OpenStack Foundation. “OpenStack ecosystem members like Kontron are key to expanding the global footprint of OpenStack clouds."

Demos of OpenStack will be presented at Kontron stand 5H19, Hall 5, during Mobile World Congress, February 24 – 27, 2014.
