As OpenNebula Premium Partner, NETWAYS continues years of collaboration with C12G Labs. From sharing a stand at CeBIT to joint training courses and troubleshooting in customer projects, the two companies enjoy a longstanding partnership. Their work together strengthens OpenNebula development and its continued relevance to operations in production environments. As XX, YY Manager of C12G Labs and OpenNebula developer notes:
“Getting feedback from partners like NETWAYS on OpenNebula in production helps us to stay on top of the growing needs of cloud operators and systems integrators.”
On the operations side, NETWAYS not only supports C12G Labs in testing OpenNebula’s limits in commercial cloud operations, but also through their advocacy at conferences and in OpenNebula training programs. For NETWAYS the choice of a cloud platform was simple:
“OpenNebula integrates well into existing IT infrastructures. Thanks to its various interfaces, configuration, management and monitoring are much simpler compared to other cloud applications out there. We can be at a conference miles away and demonstrate a live migration of our cloud environments with no glitches –it just works”, enthused Bernd Erk, NETWAYS Managing Director.
Since its beginnings as a research project in 2005, OpenNebula has grown steadily into a popular open source data center solution for virtualisation. Based on XEN, XKVM and VMware, the cloud platform is distinct in its support of a broad range of open source standards. Its focus on interoperability ensures easy integration and a high degree of flexibility for users.
This interoperability is evident in NETWAYS integration of Puppet and Foreman into their OpenNebula platform, allowing the company to offer a variety of private and hybrid cloud solutions. NETWAYS runs a complex cloud of multiple large environments for customers that include CleverElements, Baumer and Audi amongst various telecommunications providers. Bernd Erk, NETWAYS Managing Director, reflects:
“Our customers appreciate the stability and reliability of our OpenNebula based cloud services, that our close working relationship with C12G Labs facilitates. We’re proud to be the first OpenNebula Premium Partner and look forward to contributing to OpenNebula’s continued development.”
