Today Portworx, Inc. has announced it has committed to join IBM’s ecosystem supporting the new IBM Cloud for Telecommunications. The IBM Cloud for Telecommunications is an open, hybrid cloud architecture designed to accelerate business transformation with the power of edge and 5G and address the unique requirements of operators, partner ecosystems and their enterprise clients. Built on IBM Cloud Satellite, currently in beta, and leveraging Red Hat OpenShift, clients can deploy cloud services anywhere: on the cloud, on premises or at the edge, while addressing industry-specific regulatory and security requirements.

The IBM Cloud for Telecommunications Ecosystem is an initiative to help network equipment providers, independent software vendors (ISVs), software-as-a-service providers, and hardware partners accelerate business transformation by unlocking the power of 5G and edge. The IBM Cloud for Telecommunications is an open, hybrid cloud architecture built on IBM Cloud Satellite and leverages Red Hat OpenShift to enable clients to deploy IBM Cloud services anywhere: on the cloud, on premises or at the edge, while addressing industry-specific regulatory and security requirements. Red Hat OpenShift is the industry’s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform.

As part of the IBM Cloud for Telecommunications, Portworx will help clients unlock benefits of IBM’s open and unified hybrid cloud architecture, built for the telco industry and designed to deliver security, AI-driven automation and end-to-end service orchestration.
