Sardina Systems and Vesper Technologies Announce Partnership to Deliver OCP Full Rack Enterprise Managed OpenStack and Kubernetes Cloud Solution
London, UK, 14 December 2020 — Sardina Systems, a leading OpenStack and Kubernetes platforms software vendor, addressing the full lifecycle of clouds with integrated operations tools, and Vesper Technologies, a leading European systems integrator providing a single point of purchase for both infrastructure and applications, are announcing today a strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of managed OpenStack and Kubernetes enterprise cloud solution, with flexible architecture and full rack integration.
Vesper powers Sardina FishOS for enterprise-ready OpenStack and Kubernetes cloud solutions fully integrated on Open Compute Project (OCP) designs.
Vesper and Sardina have created and validated a fully integrated solution on OpenStack and Kubernetes, with the option to add Ceph storage, allowing customers to build highly scalable and efficient clouds to handle the most demanding of workloads at a highly competitive TCO.
“We have chosen to become partner with Vesper thanks to their extensive expertise and a strong passion for open technologies,” states Mihaela Constantinescu, Director of Marketing, Sardina Systems.
The joint solution is built on Open Compute Accepted™ hardware infrastructure, available at rack level, and can be delivered globally, complemented with a choice of management and support services ranging from DIY to full SaaS.
“OCP designs can be greatly enhanced with advanced OpenStack and Kubernetes cloud platform, to provide organizations highly optimized TCO. By creating a fully integrated enterprise cloud solution together with Vesper, we have “pre-baked” the otherwise complex solution design, to make it easier for enterprise customers to access the important benefits of a rapid-to-production OpenStack and Kubernetes cloud, rack-built, network installed, OS installed and FishOS installed. End-to-end tested and certified on the highly acclaimed OCP Accepted™ hardware infrastructure.”
This flexible architecture and modular underlying infrastructure of the joint solution allows extensive enterprise customization — whether more compute, more storage, or multi-site high availability (HA). Each solution can be flexibly right-sized, to meet the capacity and performance requirements of today, and yet designed to deliver adaptable, efficient, automated expansion.
„We are delighted to announce our partnership with Sardina Systems. There is a great deal of synergy between Open Source and OCP platforms, both share principles of openness, scalability, and operational efficiency. This made it a very natural decision to partner with Sardina Systems to deliver an OpenStack Cloud Platform on OCP Accepted™ hardware.
Sardina Systems provide a highly consultative approach that is unique in the market, taking time to really understand customers’ requirements and delivering with their highly talented technical team.
Vesper set out, together with Sardina Systems, to make OpenStack accessible to any organization looking to take advantage of the benefits offered by OpenStack and Kubernetes. The combination of a fully integrated OCP Accepted™platform, Sardina’s FishOS OpenStack, and a wide range of support options delivers on every point; customers can be confident in a tailored solution, optimum hardware, and world-leading class support.” states Philip Kaye, Director, Vesper Technologies.
