New cloud infrastructure based on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform helps Dualtec improve
operational efficiency by 35 percent, enables company to expand
cloud services
OPENSTACK SUMMIT–Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that
Dualtec Cloud Builders, part of the UOLDiveo group, has scaled its
cloud environment and expanded its service offerings with a new
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud based on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. Working with Red Hat to design
and deploy its integrated, OpenStack-based cloud environment in
just 45 days, Dualtec has improved operational efficiency by 35
percent. Dualtec's deployment represents the first OpenStack-based
public cloud in Brazil, following Dualtec's active participation in
the upstream OpenStack community since 2011.
Dualtec originally launched as a telecommunication and Internet
solutions provider for small and medium-sized businesses in Brazil.
With more than 11,000 clients, Dualtec is a cloud computing pioneer
in Brazil, understanding that an integrated environment for
managing its cloud computing infrastructure efficiently would be
critical to enabling the company to scale and grow without
increasing operating or other costs. Believing that OpenStack is
the best solution for the cloud, Dualtec decided to launch the
first OpenStack-based cloud in Brazil, adopting the open source
cloud operating system to control compute, storage, and networking
resources. But, Dualtec had an aggressive goal to launch their new
OpenStack cloud environment within 45 days – a timeline that
included everything from designing the architecture to
deployment.
To achieve their goals, Dualtec selected Red Hat as its partner,
not only because of Red Hat's deep OpenStack expertise and support
capabilities, but also because of its focus on security. OpenStack
is highly dependent on its underlying Linux operating system for
everything from service operation and access to hardware resources
to system performance, stability, and security. Red Hat Enterprise
Linux OpenStack Platform offers the benefits of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux with a cloud infrastructure platform from OpenStack,
co-engineered to work seamlessly together. This integration
delivers an optimized foundation designed to withstand the rigors
of a production-ready OpenStack cloud. To help meet their 45 day
deadline, Dualtec worked with Red Hat Consulting to rapidly design
and build the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform-based
IaaS cloud.
With a new cloud infrastructure based on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux OpenStack Platform, Dualtec can easily and cost-effectively
scale its cloud computing environment as the company continues to
add new clients and projects. Dualtec now offers cloud services
that can support even the most demanding applications, such as
e-commerce, social media, mobile, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS),
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and big data. Automating the
provisioning and management of cloud resources with the OpenStack
platform has enabled Dualtec to grow without necessarily increasing
its staff of technology experts, enabling them to achieve 35
percent greater operational efficiency.
