Mirantis selected by Vodafone

Mirantis also announces a global procurement agreement, and first deployment to deliver managed open cloud for converged cloud platform   .

Mirantis has been selected to deliver managed OpenStack, based on Mirantis Cloud Platform, as part of Vodafone?s network virtualization program.
 
Mirantis will be part of Vodafone Ocean, a framework for developing, testing and deploying Software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technologies which are open, multi-vendor and managed end-to-end.
 
"Mirantis was selected for its technology, innovation and leadership in the OpenStack community and its ability to work with different vendors, engineers and operations teams to deliver OpenStack-based VIM. An open and multi-vendor cloud infrastructure is key for delivering better, faster and smarter services to our customers" said David Amzallag, head of Network Virtualization, SDN and NFV, Vodafone Group. "We look forward to working closely with Mirantis as part of our Vodafone Ocean activities.''
 
Mirantis Managed OpenStack, which will be at the heart of Vodafone Ocean deployments, departs from the traditional software-centric method that revolves around licensing and support subscriptions. Instead, Mirantis is pioneering an operations-centric approach, where open infrastructure is continuously delivered with operations service level agreements (SLAs) owned by either Mirantis or the customer. Now, software updates no longer happen once every 6-12 months, but are introduced in minor increments on a weekly basis and with no down time.
?Vodafone has ambitious goals for its network, and our operations team is excited to support its private cloud efforts,? said Alex Freedland, Mirantis CEO. ?With Mirantis Managed OpenStack, Vodafone and their customers will have access to the most recent cloud innovations, without having the downtime associated with upgrades.?
 
Mirantis also announced it has signed a global procurement agreement to deliver managed open cloud for Vodafone Cloudstore, with the first implementation already underway.
