NEC announced its contributions to a successful trial of KDDI's next generation enterprise platform in collaboration with Red Hat.
For this reason, NEC participated in trials with Red Hat to confirm the feasibility of KDDI's next generation integrated platform, which includes infrastructure and IaaS, and can operate with multiple types of systems.
These trials tested the feasibility of advanced functions as outlined below;
1) The utilization of open cloud technology to support the construction of high-quality and highly reliable system infrastructure for telecommunications carriers.
2) Integrated management of numerous services using simple infrastructure, flexible services and efficient operations.
3) Maintenance and replacement of servers and storage devices without stopping service.
4) Advanced monitoring utilizing distributed monitoring technology from the KDDI Research Institute.
In these trials, the Red Hat OpenStack Platform was used to create an open cloud environment, while NEC managed the building of infrastructure by utilizing its cloud infrastructure construction experience, operation record and know-how.

We would like to create an ideal platform that strongly supports KDDI's next generation system and business. As part of this, stability, flexibility and manageability are also required. NEC supported these trials with Red Hat through advanced technological strengths with respect to OpenStack and cloud systems.
Radhnesh Balakrishnan, General Manager, OpenStack, Red Hat
KDDI is a great example of a telecommunications operator who is creating a modern cloud infrastructure based on the Red Hat OpenStack Platform. Standardizing on the Red Hat OpenStack Platform, a highly scalable and 100% open IaaS platform, offers telecom operators the flexibility and scalability they require for its cloud and NFV services.
