Highly scalable open source cloud platform
enhances customer service, increases efficiency and reduces
costs
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that MyRepublic, an internet
service provider (ISP) headquartered in Singapore, has deployed Red
Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat Ceph Storage, and Red Hat
CloudForms to create a modern cloud as part of their open hybrid
cloud initiative. The new, more scalable cloud platform, replaces a
fragmented legacy IT infrastructure which was impeding growth and
offers MyRepublic increased availability and flexibility in
addition to substantial reductions in hardware costs.
Undergoing rapid expansion, MyRepublic found it was increasingly
challenging to innovate and grow via its existing infrastructure.
Scaling out services, handling spikes in user demand, and resolving
outages by simply re-using spare capacity from other services were
also difficult to address with the ISP’s legacy infrastructure.
Faced with the costly renewal of its proprietary software and aging
hardware, MyRepublic chose to modernize its IT platform with a more
scalable and flexible platform that could better meet its
needs.
For the core of its new and more flexible cloud, MyRepublic
selected Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat’s highly scalable
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, Red Hat Ceph Storage,
a block and object storage platform capable of scaling to meet
MyRepublic’s requirements, and Red Hat CloudForms, a hybrid cloud
management platform. Red Hat Consulting supported the initial
planning and implementation stages, making it possible to complete
the deployment in only two weeks.
The new infrastructure enables MyRepublic to scale up and add
resources to handle spikes in demand, resulting in higher system
availability and lower latency. More importantly, MyRepublic’s
infrastructure is now more resilient with improved stability,
providing an added benefit to customers. By further automating
deployments, planned downtime can be more easily minimized when
changes are made in production.
With its Red Hat-based cloud platform, MyRepublic can introduce
new services more quickly, enabling them to better address new
requirements. This offers MyRepublic the ability to be more agile,
capitalizing on the shorter time-to-market and the ability to host
different workloads on the same cluster.
Because Red Hat software is hardware-agnostic, MyRepublic has
also gained the flexibility to run any certified x86 equipment
without lock-in, which has enabled the company to reduce costs by
choosing the best match for its needs. To date, MyRepublic reports
that it has achieved a double-digit percentage decrease on TCO
year-on-year and that it has improved ROI with the ability to more
easily reallocate unused resources.
Supporting Quotes
Eugene Yeo, group CIO, MyRepublic Group Limited
“We chose Red Hat primarily because they are very close to the
upstream, so we have access to new features really quickly, and
also to avoid any vendor lock-in. Red Hat team’s technical
knowledge and documentation saved us valuable time. Even a slight
delay in meeting the deadline would have affected our marketing
plans in a big way and wasted a lot of our investment. But Red Hat
did an amazing job.”
Darrell Jordan-Smith, vice president, Global Telecommunications
and ICT, Red Hat
"Red Hat is excited to work with MyRepublic to help them achieve
their goals of revolutionizing Singapore’s ICT landscape with a
cloud platform based on our highly scalable OpenStack technology.
Red Hat OpenStack Platform combines the power of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux with Red Hat OpenStack technology to deliver a scalable and
more secure foundation to build and manage MyRepublic’s modern
cloud infrastructure."
