Apcera Launches First Hybrid Cloud Operating System Platform
The company will debut the product with Ericsson at Mobile World Congress.
Apcera® will demonstrate the first hybrid cloud operating system (HCOS) with Ericsson at Mobile World Congress March 2-5, 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. Based on Apcera's Continuum® solution, the HCOS simplifies and speeds hybrid cloud deployment and management, by extending policy across all cloud environments and enabling applications to be easily and automatically shared, moved and governed from a single management platform. The platform also supports the use of multiple cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Service (AWS), Google Compute Engine (GCE), and SoftLayer, with plans to add Azure as well. Customers get immediate access to all cloud vendors in the Continuum ecosystem.
Though currently deploying with select global IT enterprises, the Apcera HCOS platform is applicable for telecom service providers as well. It enables telecom service providers to manage the migration from legacy infrastructure to network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networks (SDNs). And, it allows them to achieve significantly faster time-to-market for real-time voice, video and messaging apps and other critical deployments, without sacrificing crucial security requirements. Apcera and Ericsson will demonstrate the platform in Ericsson's Cloud Platform area of Hall 2.
