SUSE OpenStack Cloud Powers TCS Enterprise Cloud Platform

SUSE® today announced Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has selected SUSE OpenStack Cloud as the standard foundation of the TCS Enterprise Cloud Platform.

The TCS and SUSE teams have worked closely to architect a robust and flexible Enterprise Cloud Platform. This has been achieved by integrating technologies like Cisco ACI for software-defined networking, KVM and VMware as hypervisors, and EMC as the storage backend with SUSE OpenStack Cloud. TCS and SUSE have jointly developed this powerful and repeatable architecture so it can be rapidly deployed to meet customer demand.
