Virtuozzo announced its collaboration with DT Technology Group has accelerated DT's transition from a leading telco to a leading digital platform enabler. Through the use of Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure,
DT has deployed a Public Cloud as well as new revenue streams via
DevOps services-all while reducing its total cost of ownership by 30
percent.
Increasingly,
companies seek to leverage digital solutions to transform their
businesses. Simultaneously, SmartCity projects show no signs of slowing
down. However, the continued growth of 5G connectivity and IoT
applications brings with it new infrastructure design
challenges-integration of AI computing, Cloud Native applications, GPU
computing, application modernization, and DevOps resources. The
supporting network infrastructure must be robust enough to scale with
the demand while the software development ecosystem around it must be
mature enough to enable enterprises as well as small- to medium-sized
companies to leverage the technology trends for business gain.
Drawing
on its ICT system integration and telecom roots, DT sought to address
both needs by building an enterprise-grade and 5G-ready infrastructure
as well as establishing a team of skilled digital software developers.
In the late 2010's, the company launched its Cloud platform and digital
software solutions suite via partnerships with a hyperscaler and
proprietary virtualization solutions provider, though quickly sought to
replace them... and did with a single partner: Virtuozzo.
"We
have a unique market opportunity. We understand the infrastructure
requirements behind carrier grade platforms and are leveraging this
expertise to build seamless, elastic enterprise-grade digital
platforms," said Tolga Dinçer, CEO, DT Technology Group. "Our initial
partner choices, however, limited what we could deliver to customers as
they were complicated to use, inflexible, and quite expensive. Virtuozzo
Hybrid Infrastructure solved all of those problems out of the box."
A Public Cloud for Modern Times
DT
uses the OpenStack-based Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure to host a
robust 5G-enabled infrastructure supporting Public Cloud, Edge data
centers, and OnPrem needs. The Cloud infrastructure scales easily and
notably taps into local data centers to satisfy data sovereignty
requirements. Further, its inherent capabilities driven by Virtuozzo's
hyperconverged system include support for various advanced
solutions-from graphics-rich VDI services to compute-heavy, AI-dependent
big data analytics.
A Digital Platform Partner for the DevOps Community
To
help businesses capitalize on its robust infrastructure, DT also uses
Virtuozzo's software to deliver digital solutions. This offering
includes consultative services as well as digital platform
development-such as microservices architecture design-for cross-industry
customers, and depends heavily on Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure's
core features:
- Security and business continuity
- Production-ready Kubernetes environment and tools
- Flexible licensing models (PAYG pricing)
- Immediate scalability, up or down
- Storge-as-a-Service
- Hardware vendor agnostic
"Virtuozzo
is purpose-built to help companies like DT shift their and their
customers' business models from capex to opex, helping reduce costs
while gaining the benefits of hyperconverged, Cloud-driven digital
transformation," said Alex Fine, Virtuozzo CEO. "We're seeing increased
adoption of our technology by savvy service providers striving to
deliver alternative Cloud services: services that compete with those of
hyperscalers in diversity, performance and capabilities, but are
simpler, more flexible, and far more cost-efficient to use. To that end,
DT is optimizing Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure to an incredible
extent. We're excited to see what they've accomplished to date and are
proud to be a part of their continued journey."
