At the recent Intel Developer Forum 2015 (IDF15) in San Francisco, Ericsson has announced a collaboration with South Korean operator SK Telecom on next generation cloud technologies for data centers.
The collaboration, said Ericsson involves the implementation of Intel® Rack Scale Architecture (RSA)-enabled datacenters as part of the Operator's 2016 plans.
According to Ericsson, the partnership with SK Telecom will see the development of software-defined datacenters built on Ericsson's HDS 8000 datacenter system based on the RSA architecture, leading to the creation of automated and TCO-efficient hyperscale cloud infrastructure for SK Telecom.
