Chipmaker AMD and Canonical have joined hands to develop a ready-to-run OpenStack private cloud for deployment in hours by enterprises.
The new offering comes with SeaMicro SM15000 server, Ubuntu LTS 14.04 and OpenStack, which integrates a range of tools to build one of the most flexible and reliable private clouds.
AMD data centre server solutions corporate vice president and general manager Dhiraj Mallick said: "AMD and Canonical have dedicated a tremendous amount of engineering resources to ensure an integrated solution that removes the complexity of an OpenStack technology deployment.
"The SM15000 server, Ubuntu LTS 14.04 and OpenStack is an amazing solution filling a need in the industry for an OpenStack solution that can be deployed easily without spending a fortune on professional services or hiring teams of people."
AMD’s SeaMicro server product range is currently compatible with next-generation AMD Opteron processor, Intel Xeon E3-1265Lv2, E3-1265Lv3 processors.
The ten rack units will link 512 CPU cores; 160GB of I/O networking; more than 5PB of storage with a 1.28TB supercomputer fabric dubbed Freedom fabric.
Canonical cloud channels and alliances vice president John Zannos said: "Canonical has developed the most sophisticated set of tools in the industry to remove the complexity of an enterprise grade OpenStack deployment.
"The AMD-Canonical OpenStack solution bundle will help drive increased velocity for clients seeking to leverage scale-out cloud technology for next generation workloads."
