Our customer, a pioneering force in satellite communications, stands as a global leader in delivering cutting-edge telecommunications technology.
With decades of experience serving Government, Maritime, Aviation and Enterprise sectors, our customer maintains its market position through continuous technological advancement and cloud infrastructure optimisation.
The Challenge
In response to evolving market demands, our customer encountered a significant technological crossroads. To meet growing operational needs, they required a modernisation of cloud infrastructure.
The primary challenge centred on transitioning from legacy network infrastructure towards a more adaptable and scalable cloud infrastructure.
This transformation needed to address several critical objectives:
- Modernisation of existing Cloud Infrastructure
- Enhancement of operational agility
- Improved scalability & resource management
- Integration of containerisation alongside cloud-native technologies
Our customer recognised that maintaining their competitive edge in global communication networks necessitated a more sophisticated cloud platform.
The Solution
Following careful evaluation, our customer opted for MOSK (Mirantis OpenStack Kubernetes) as their comprehensive cloud solution and chose to work with Flint Technology Services (Flint TS) to deliver the solution.
Utilising the MOSK environment allows our expert team to provide maintenance, upgrades, troubleshooting and assist tenants with the onboarding of our customer’s services.
This platform seamlessly merged OpenStack capabilities with Kubernetes orchestration, providing a unified environment for both virtual machines and containerised applications.
Notably, the solution enabled modernisation of existing infrastructure without requiring complete system replacement.
The implementation strategy encompassed several key components:
- Establishment of a robust OpenStack environment
- Integration of Kubernetes for container management
- Delivery of a unified platform supporting both traditional and modern applications
- Implementation of high-availability infrastructure measures
Our services, which utilised the MOSK environment, were selected based on our proven expertise in deploying and supporting complex cloud environments.
