QxStack with Cloud Native Platform

Pre-validated container platform to accelerate cloud native applications

Cloud native technology has been highlighted in modern cloud infrastructure design for its light weight and high portability. It also achieves efficient development and operation (DevOps), thereby facilitating agile service deployment and business innovation. To accelerate cloud-native transformation at minimized expenses, QCT tailored and validated the Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform and Kubernetes Platform to ensure high-quality service and performance.

Efficiency and Agility

Extraordinary network performance that brings high value to the company.

High Scalability

Outstanding extendibility and flexibility achieved by integrating Ceph storage into HCI architecture.

Ultimate Density

Optimized model and configuration for the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

QCT Auto-Deployment Tool

Save Most of the Time Needed to Build a Virtualization Environment

  • Save on the time and cost of training for an OpenStack deployment
  • One-click deployment for full automation, reducing the manual process and keeping human error to a minimum
  • Optimized and fine-tuned configuration for switch provisioning based on the OpenStack Platform architecture
