Unified Cloud Platform Benefits

Seamless VM-to-Container Transition
Run containers and VMs on shared high-availability clusters, eliminating silos. This provides a gradual, non-disruptive migration from VM-based to containerized services, optimizing asset utilization.
Optimized Workload & Storage Performance
Achieve superior performance through intelligent workload and storage placement. Zero-touch automation streamlines Kubernetes cluster and workload deployments across all locations, including the edge.
Application-Aware Cloud-Native Storage
Dynamically allocates and shares storage with application-aware policies. Guarantees SLAs for the entire application construct, simplifying disaster recovery and offering advanced data services.
End-to-End Infrastructure & Application Orchestration
Gain comprehensive lifecycle management for Telco clouds, from bare metal to application deployment. Automate CNF/VNF deployments with an intuitive rules engine, providing centralized control and simplified day-2 operations.
Enhanced Resource Utilization & Energy Efficiency
Maximize infrastructure utilization and reduce operational costs via intelligent resource pooling and high-density deployments. Optimize real-time energy consumption with per-application monitoring and dynamic throttling.
