Integration with Enterprise Cloud
Rancher environments created in Enterprise Cloud’s virtual server can be integrated with a variety of Enterprise Cloud options, including databases.
NTT Com Group and Rancher Labs will verify and evaluate the service on the IoT platform of a major manufacturer starting this month. Container services for midsize to large enterprises are expected to be delivered as a multi-tenant cloud service in December 2017.
Background
As part of the ongoing digital transformation of
enterprise systems, the development and verification of container
software is gaining momentum. Until now, however, potential users have
been apprehensive about the operation and management of container
environments and related security issues. In response, NTT Com and NTTPC
will offer a private container as a service that enables enterprises to
quickly and easily establish cloud-based container environments via
Rancher container management software. NTT Com and NTTPC will provide
support for the service, with technical assistance from Rancher Labs. In
addition, this collaboration is the first time Rancher Labs is providing
an MSP (Managed Service Provider) licensing model to a cloud service
provider in Japan.
