29 November 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia's software-defined network (SDN)
venture, Nuage Networks, has been chosen by Fujitsu to expand its
Cloud Service Fujitsu Enterprise Cloud Service K5. The
world's largest OpenStack cloud service, K5 provides Infrastructure
as a Service (IaaS) using both virtual machine (VM) and bare metal
services, with the latter managed by OpenStack Ironic, in a global
commercial first. The powerful combination of OpenStack and the
Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) provides
Fujitsu and its enterprise customers with massively scalable and
highly available virtual networks.
The Nuage Networks next-generation overlay SDN solution will
help Fujitsu expand its deployment of its K5 cloud-based services
beyond its current data centers in Japan, Europe and North America,
to new centers in Singapore and Australia. Starting with the data
center in Japan, Cloud Service K5 will enable Fujitsu's enterprise
customers to accelerate their digital transformation by moving
their existing server infrastructure into K5 data centers. This
allows them to quickly migrate to a cloud-native architecture
running on OpenStack Ironic and the Nuage Networks VSP. In addition
to 'on-demand' delivery of services, it will assure them greater
security, manageability and availability of the cloud, as well as
full support for non-cloud-native applications running on fully
integrated bare metal services.
The Nuage Networks VSP supports clouds of all sizes and
architectures. Along with OpenStack, the Nuage Networks VSP
supports all cloud management systems, hypervisors and workload
types. Providing greater automation and efficiency across hybrid
cloud and heterogeneous datacenter environments, the Nuage Networks
VSP provides multi-tenant policy-based software-defined networking
for Layer 2, 3 and 4 services from branch to the DC, with enhanced
security, microsegmentation and real-time flow visibility with
dynamic threat detection and response, including service
chaining.
Masahiro Ohta, Head of the Digital Business Platform Unit,
Fujitsu Limited, said: "The Nuage Networks VSP is ideal for its
ability to integrate directly with OpenStack and provide our
customers with a highly customizable and flexible IaaS platform for
supporting a wide variety of cloud management systems and
applications."
Sunil Khandekar, CEO, Nuage Networks, said: "The Fujitsu
K5 IaaS service is unique for its early support of the emerging
OpenStack Ironic project, which provides support for bare metal
services. Our Nuage Networks team worked closely with Fujitsu to
develop this first-of-its-kind implementation into production,
showcasing Fujitsu's leadership in the Japanese and worldwide
market. This is in keeping with our commitment to enable the
seamless consumption of resources and services hosted within public
clouds."
*What is OpenStack-Ironic? Ironic is an OpenStack
software program which provisions bare metal, as opposed to
virtual, machines. This means a customer can use hardware
directly, deploying the workload (image) onto a real physical
machine instead of a virtualized instance on a hypervisor. This is
intended for when a virtualized environment is not ideal, and a
physical, bare metal server is preferred.About Nuage Networks
