Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) announced the addition of Intelligent Cloud to SLT Akaza Cloud family with Microsoft partnership. The services via the Azure stack platform is implemented at SLT Tier III Data Centre in Pitipana.
To address modern needs of enterprises, it’s essential to provide consistent public cloud services on private cloud to meet regulatory or technical requirements and run virtualised applications. Stack is built on hyper converged infrastructure provided by Cisco and recommended by Microsoft and is certified to run Azure stack and PCI/DSS compliance.
Consistent Azure platform as a service capability (PaaS) would allow hybrid deployment choice and portability to cloud applications.
It is the expectation of SLT to run fully managed PaaS, serverless computing, distributed micro service architectures and container management on-premises and intelligent edge computing services with IoT HUB. Meanwhile, Azure Stack Infrastructure as a service delivery (IaaS) exceeds traditional virtualisation, with virtual machine scale sets allowing a rapid deployment with true auto scaling for modern workloads.
CEO SLT Kiththi Perera said, “This is the only hybrid platform consistent with a leading public cloud, providing the consistency required by developers to build and deploy a single application for public and private cloud without building separate applications for each platform.
Chief Enterprise and Wholesale Officer Janaka Abeysinghe said, “Azure Stack offers real cloud experience with consistency, solves data residency problems and connectivity latency issues.
