Turkcell has built its new artificial intelligence (AI) services architecture and application hub on Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform, announced Red Hat recently.
This has helped Turkcell to transform customer experiences, drive operational efficiencies and bring a greater diversity of consumer and business innovations to market faster.
Already a Red Hat customer of more than ten years, Turkcell chose Red Hat OpenShift as a reliable, resilient and scalable hybrid cloud foundation to power its container-based AI development, including integrations with JupyterLab and Nvidia GPUs. OpenShift gave Turkcell the ability to develop and deploy applications both in the public cloud and on-premises where necessary to comply with data regulation. Red Hat OpenShift provides a more consistent, self-service experience for data scientists and application developers, wherever they are in the Turkcell business, and enables non-technical staff to access AI capabilities. As part of its work with OpenShift, Turkcell launched its AI Hub on the platform, from which it can offer AI innovations as-a-service to enterprises, helping to create new revenue opportunities.
Turkcell is now running around 50 different services on the OpenShift-based platform to support a diverse range of AI-powered use cases. With its scalable AI platform architecture, use of microservices and adoption of agile practices including DevSecOps, Turkcell has been able to accelerate its application lifecycle, including speeding up development and deployment of AI and machine learning (ML) models. Turkcell can now bring new digital services to market in roughly half the time it could with a monolithic architecture, said Red Hat.

Using Red Hat OpenShift as a flexible, consistent foundation, we have created a ‘playground’ for data science, making the frameworks and tools available to anyone, so we can invite contributions from all over the Turkcell organization.
