Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), a global
data center solution provider, announced IronCloud
- Robin Cloud Platform, its latest addition to its 5G solutions.
The partnership between QCT and Robin
helps customers accelerate their cloud-native transformations. The solution is
built on the Robin.io's Multi-Data Center
Automation Platform (MDCAP) and Cloud Native Platform (CNP), a comprehensive
carrier-grade bare-metal to services orchestration and enhanced Kubernetes
platform, for 5G and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) applications. The
solution harmonizes virtual machines and containers, enabling unprecedented
resource sharing with easy to use, unified workflows and lifecycle automation
that is customer proven to reduce both CAPEX and OPEX. All of this is
deployable on QCT servers using 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable
processors.
To
accelerate cloud-native transformations, QCT and Robin have developed a
centralized automation platform using hardware, network acceleration
technologies and best practices for orchestration, automation and lifecycle
management. The result is an optimized solution that utilizes a cloud-native infrastructure
for Telco workloads that supports both virtual machines and containers, in the
same resource sharing cluster, from regional data center to far edge.
Operators and enterprises can reliably reach the high throughput and low
latency required by cloud-native 5G applications (i.e., Core, RAN and CDN).
This partnership reduces the challenges of deploying and managing networks,
while providing an optimized, cost-efficient infrastructure.
IronCloud
- Robin Cloud Platform features the following 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based servers:
"Lifecycle management and automation are
keys to reducing 5G infrastructure and operation costs," said Mike Yang,
president of QCT. "By partnering with Robin.io,
we have created an automated cloud-native platform, IronCloud, for our mutual
customers to boost 5G application time to market."
"Our partners are creating optimized,
performant and automated solutions that accelerate the path to cloud-native for
5G," stated Keate Despain, Intel Network Builders and Ecosystem Programs
Director. "The IronCloud - Robin Cloud Platform is a solution that will enable
companies to deliver an end-to-end cloud native platform and a 5G service
delivery network at cost savings."
"Cloud-Native technology has proven
benefits for 5G economics," said Partha Seetala, CEO and founder of Robin.io. "Our close relationships with QCT and
Intel have delivered a production-ready open and extensible platform for deployment
and life cycle management. It's an entire Telco Network Stack, with both CNFs
and VNFs that offers industry leading TCO."
