Telenet Business revamped its private cloud infrastructure using Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.

“Telenet Business requires a platform that helps strengthen the protection of our data without sacrificing the ability to modernize," Dave Van Ingelghem, Technical Product Manager at Telenet Business, said in a statement. "Red Hat OpenShift has been a positive step toward a future-ready environment by allowing us to consolidate our workloads onto a single platform and automate recovery across sites.

By selecting Red Hat OpenShift as its standards-based, open platform, Telenet Business is consolidating virtual machines (VMs) and container workloads. This unified foundation helped Telenet to remove the friction of separate infrastructure stacks and improve operational control without limiting innovation or impacting the customer experience.

By running Red Hat OpenShift on bare metal across two regional datacenters, Telenet Business has established a sovereign private cloud environment. To manage this environment, Telenet Business uses Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes to provide a single management view across both datacenter clusters. This centralized oversight allows the system to automatically spin up VMs at the alternate location if one site becomes unavailable, supporting continuous service availability for Telenet’s customers.
