NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- To meet
increasing data center demands, Verizon will begin using
Mesosphere's Datacenter Operating System (DCOS) later this year to
significantly improve automation, scalability and efficiency when
deploying applications, services and big data infrastructure.
Mesosphere DCOS, which is based on the open source cluster
manager Apache Mesos, will allow Verizon to accelerate deployment
of new products and services for a wide range of products and
services including connected devices and machines, video services,
Internet services, storage and mobile applications, as well as big
data and analytics.
With Mesosphere DCOS, Verizon Labs developers will be able to
operate the entire data center as a single cohesive entity. As a
result, Verizon will be able to automatically scale services up and
down to handle the dynamic needs of millions of customers.
"Verizon is committed to unleashing the full potential of open
source, data center cluster technology and cloud applications for
the highest possible customer experience," said Kumar Vishwanathan, vice president and chief
technologist for Verizon Labs. "Mesosphere DCOS gives Verizon the
foundation to create far-reaching benefits by increasing our
ability to quickly launch new products and services while reducing
the IT requirements in our data centers."
Using a single DCOS interface, Verizon Labs teams can create
rules and complex scripts to automate data center operations that
enable an unprecedented level of automation throughout the data
center. New services can be scaled up quickly using existing
capacity and without manual configuration of resources because DCOS
incorporates an elastic and highly scalable means that reduces up
to 90 percent of the number of deployment cycles required to deploy
new applications.
"Data services are changing the way business is done and Verizon
is leveraging cutting-edge tools to transform the delivery of new
and exciting services for our customers," said Vishwanathan.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ), headquartered in
New York, is a global leader in
delivering the promise of the digital world. Verizon Wireless
operates America's most reliable wireless network, with 109.5
