Wipro Ltd. (NYSE:WIT), a leading global information technology,
consulting and business process services company, today announced
that they have jointly developed with SUSE an OpenStack cloud
solution to meet customers’ evolving needs for flexible and open
infrastructure models. The solution has been built using Wipro’s
leading Open Source Cloud frameworks and SUSE Cloud, SUSE’s
enterprise OpenStack cloud platform which is integrated with a
cloud management layer, stitching the private and public cloud
layer together.
Today, Open Source has become a key driver for advancements
around cloud based solutions. Wipro’s OpenStack Cloud Reference
Architecture is a part of Wipro’s vision of Hybrid Cloud Computing.
By using industry leading hypervisors and storage solutions with
the best-in-class Software Defined Network solutions at the base,
the OpenStack solution becomes even more powerful. Wipro and SUSE’s
joint OpenStack cloud solution has the ability to allow unified
Application Programming Interfaces (API) across private and public
Clouds and can be tailored for private cloud implementation as it
adds elasticity and agility to the existing IT infrastructure. This
next-gen Hybrid cloud solution stack supports compute-as-a-service,
storage-as-a-service and network function-as-a-service.
Anuj Bhalla, Vice President and Global Business Head – System
Integration and Maintenance Services, Wipro Ltd. stated, “We
have been working with SUSE to create a cloud business continuity
system in order to ensure higher availability of services, using
the OpenStack cloud platform. Together, with SUSE Cloud and our
industry leading Open source practice, our aim is to create a suite
of flexible open source cloud solutions that will transform the
customer’s business in a tangible and rapid way. Through this joint
approach, we are confident of creating a pool of Hybrid Cloud
trained resources and are investing in joint engineering efforts to
enhance the existing OpenStack cloud solution.”
Wipro and SUSE’s joint hybrid Cloud solution also supports
on-the-move auto scaling of the provisioned virtual machine and has
the ability to move workloads from one cloud to another leveraging
the “cloud burst” technology. The solution also brings budget,
spend and billing control via a self-service portal, extending its
functionality to platform-as-a-service.
Michael Miller, Vice President of Global Alliances and
Marketing, SUSE, said, “Open Source is at the forefront of
cloud-based technology advancements, and SUSE and Wipro are working
to create solutions that meet evolving client needs for flexible
and open infrastructures. This joint SUSE Cloud solution is ideal
for hybrid cloud implementation, providing flexibility and agility
to existing IT infrastructures and meeting growing demand among
