Lenovo Open Cloud Automation for Red Hat OpenShift
Accelerate cloud deployment from Data Center to the Edge
The Lenovo Open Cloud Automation (LOC-A) software solution helps to rapidly deploy distributed infrastructure at scale, from bare metal servers to hyperconverged container and VM hosting platforms.
The cloud deployment process often involves manual steps and processes that benefit from some level of automation tools that exist. However, this process is sequential, time-consuming and error prone.
At the Edge, the deployment process is even more complicated by specific physical constraints such as: the sheer number of sites, the distance between sites, the diversity of edge environments and so on. These challenges make edge infrastructure deployment automation a must. Lenovo Open Cloud Automation has been developed specifically for solving all of these challenges.
- Maximize time to value with low touch deployment
- Create repeatable deployment templates and configurations that can be used to further accelerate edge rollouts
- Rapidly bring up new edge sites with up to 3X faster deployment of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform through automation instead of manual1 processes
- Scale deployment of edge projects by shipping straight to edge location and not requiring expert System Engineers to travel from site to site for cluster deployment
- Simplify operations and reduce costs
- Operational automation framework reduces human errors, while making it easy to keep up with latest software and updates
- Easily scale across multiple sites and users while containing expenses
- Efficiently extend your cloud to the Edge
- Truck rolls are nearly eliminated for Edge deployments as automated cloud deployment becomes the new baseline for network expansion
