TROS is ready for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, says Telefonica Tech
Telefonica Tech, a multinational telecom-operated services business unit, announced this week Telefonica Red Hat openshift service (TROS). The new cloud services are a new evolution of the company’s existing “Cloud Garden” operated platform. While Focus Enterprise app modernization and cloudification remain, TROS places increasing emphasis on multi-cloud deployments and hybrid cloud versatility. TROS can be installed either on Telefonica Tech’s virtual data center platform or on a hyperscaler infrastructure, the company said.
“TROS is a multi-cloud offering of containers that Telefonica Tech has so far offered in its cloud, a ‘virtual data center’ called ‘Cloud Garden’, VDC, and now allows it to be installed in the hyperscaler infrastructure as well,” the company said.
VDC is a personal cloud service that aims to help enterprises move workloads into the cloud environment. The company pioneered the platform in Spain, but has since expanded it across its growing Global Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure. Telefonica Tech operates several VDC nodes across Latin America and operates U.S. nodes in Miami, Florida and Ashburn, Virginia. Virginia Location Company New; It opened in May with new features including disaster recovery, backup process and additional security functionality.
The company says TROS will help its enterprise customers shift the workload of data centers across different clouds to different physical locations, including edge placement.
“This new, open, hybrid, multi-cloud approach will allow Telefonica Tech to strengthen and differentiate its pricing offer and give customers more flexibility in their digital conversion and application modernization in the market where Telefonica Tech is located,” the company said. .
For Cybersecurity’s Telefonica Tech CEO and Cloud Maria Jesus Almazor, the new cloud service helps consolidate its position as a global digital transformation specialist.
“We continue to develop our alliance ecosystem to enhance the digital capabilities of our professionals and to continue to provide the best service to our customers in our portfolio, incorporating the most innovative offerings on the market.”
Like Cloud Garden, TROS Red Hat is based on OpenShift and IBM technology, designed to facilitate corporate transitions in the cloud. For Telefónica Tech, using OpenShift is more than just a quartet cloud app container orchestration – it’s all about hybrid and multi-cloud flexibility.
“Red Hat OpenShift distinguishes itself through a combination of multiple rigorous open source technologies to provide a more complete application platform, enabling companies to use it as a basis for current and future IT strategies,” said Telefonica Tech.
TROS is a normal growth of Red Hat’s commitment to opening a hybrid cloud, says Julia Bernal, Red Hat’s Country Manager for Spain and Portugal.
“Our goal is to alleviate the complexities of the modern cloud-scale IT environment and to do just that with managed cloud services,” Bernal said.
Earlier this month, Telefónica Tech announced with Cisco a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) offer that would provide integrated services and security for large companies and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The service has SD-WAN, Security and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture and will help connect these businesses to data centers, branch offices and remote employee locations.
