Global IT Services Company reduces
time-to-market for services for Santander Bank with one of the
world’s first production deployments of Kubernetes and containers
on OpenStack
OPENSTACK SUMMIT – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that
Produban, the IT services arm of the Spanish banking leader Grupo
Santander, has picked Red Hat as its technology partner to create a
modern cloud infrastructure with Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform, marking what is believed to
be one of the world’s first production deployments of Kubernetes
and containers on OpenStack.
Produban’s global footprint includes 10 datacenters across four
countries that support all of Grupo Santander’s businesses,
including Banco Santander, S.A., one of Europe’s largest banks and
among the largest banks globally by market value. It specializes in
Infrastructure and IT Operations, priding itself on providing
reliable and modern IT services that can keep the bank at the
forefront of innovation.
Produban wanted to create a private cloud platform to provide
cloud services across Grupo Santander’s businesses, aiming to
increase its agility and reduce costs. It sought an open source
platform that would enable it to create cloud-native applications
via an agile approach with a high degree of automation and strong
security, and which would work across Produban’s global, multi-site
deployment.
After evaluating other Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS),
container, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and hybrid cloud
management offerings, Produban selected Red Hat as its technology
partner. They found Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat
OpenStack Platform best-suited to support its needs for a modern
and agile platform to create cloud-native applications in a
standardized IaaS environment.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the first and only
container-centric, hybrid cloud solution built from the Docker,
Kubernetes, Project Atomic and OpenShift Origin upstream projects
and based on the trusted backbone of the world’s leading enterprise
Linux platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform provides a more secure, stable platform for
container-based deployments without sacrificing current IT
investments, allowing for mission-critical, traditional
applications to coexist alongside new, cloud-native and
container-based applications.
And, Red Hat is an OpenStack leader - both in contributions to
the upstream OpenStack community and its work in delivering a
production-ready OpenStack platform to enterprise customers. Red
Hat OpenStack Platform, a highly scalable, production-ready IaaS
solution, has emerged as an open source cloud platform of choice
for a growing number of global organizations. Co-engineered with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and backed by Red Hat's support lifecycle,
Red Hat OpenStack Platform offers an open foundation for cloud
deployments.
Prior to creating its hybrid cloud infrastructure, Produban
deployed Red Hat Enterprise Linux for its operating platform and
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization as its traditional scale-up
virtualization platform. Produban also deployed Red Hat Ceph
Storage, a massively scalable, software-defined storage solution,
in hyperconverged mode with Red Hat OpenStack Platform, providing
Produban with a single, efficient platform to support the demanding
storage needs of its OpenStack-based cloud. Its deployment is
believed to be the first hyperconverged OpenStack architecture
solution in Spain, and among the first in the world, using
Ceph.
Working with Red Hat Consulting on the project, Produban has met
its goal of creating a modern cloud platform to support the bank’s
global business. With its Red Hat-based platform, Produban has
created a reliable, production-ready and controlled IaaS
environment, while reducing its technology footprint and costs.
With its cloud platform, Produban reports that it has not only
increased agility, but reduced time-to-market for different
services, including big data analytics. It now has a standardized
and efficient IaaS environment with consistent management and
deployment across its hybrid cloud services, including dedicated
availability zones by region.

“In many respects, Produban has created a blueprint deployment
with one of the world’s first production deployments of Kubernetes
and containers on OpenStack, and one of the first hyperconverged
OpenStack architecture solutions using Ceph. We are thrilled that
they selected Red Hat as their technology partner for this
significant global deployment, and are excited to collaborate with
Produban to help keep it at the forefront of innovation.”
