Skyscape Cloud Services has announced the availability of OpenStack powered services to fully leverage the capabilities of its next-generation cloud platform.
Skyscape has chosen to deploy OpenStack in order to support its UK public sector customers who have to comply with government policy which states open standards must be used when procuring ICT and delivering any new ICT solutions to ensure all government ICT assets are inter-operable.
Skyscape is dedicated to UK public sector organisations and its Cloud Native Infrastructure (powered by OpenStack) is designed specifically to support these organisations as they transition to digital and embrace an agile DevOps/WebOps culture to develop cloud native applications which improve public services, increase agility, drive innovation and reduce costs.
OpenStack has established itself as the open standard cloud platform on which developers are able to build agile and elastic digital solutions, offering portability between on premise, private and public cloud environments.
As OpenStack supports multi-cloud deployments, it removes any reliability on a single provider. This means UK public sector organisations no longer need to be 'locked-in' to proprietary platforms, instead they can manage pools of computing resource spread across different platforms as one and fully embrace cloud with maximum efficiency.
"We believe that OpenStack complements our existing platform and assurance capabilities to provide an end-to-end solution for the delivery of cloud services to further assist the UK public sector in its digital transformation," said Simon Hansford, CEO of Skyscape Cloud Services.
