When you think of cloud-based businesses, telecommunications companies may not be the first ones to spring to your mind. They should be. Telecom, thanks to software-defined networking (SDN) and Network functions virtualization (NFV), runs on the cloud. Now, Canonical<\/a>, best known for Ubuntu Linux<\/a>, has won a significant customer for its Charmed OpenStack<\/a>: Leading Russian telecom MTS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With over 80 million mobile subscribers, MTS is a serious player, and the company needed a serious cloud for its network. With this new partnership, MTS aims to decrease its time-to-market and speed up the deployment of new services such as 5G<\/a>. And, of course, as everyone does with the cloud, it wants to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of cloud infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MTS is doing this with Charmed OpenStack. Based on the popular open-source OpenStack<\/a> cloud, this stack runs on a combination Metal-as-a-Service<\/a> (MAAS), Juju Operator Lifecycle Manager<\/a> (OLM), OpenStack Charms<\/a>, and the Ceph<\/a> open-source storage stack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

OpenStack has long been the cloud of choice for telecoms<\/a>. “All around the world, carriers love OpenStack. What started as an agile framework to deploy and manage network functions has grown to become a preferred platform for managing the evolution of networks from LTE to 5G,” said Mark Collier, Open Infrastructure Foundation<\/a>‘s COO. Indeed, last year,\u00a0Canonical won a contract with BT<\/a>, formerly British Telecom, to use Ubuntu Linux and OpenStack to deploy 5G in the UK and around the globe.<\/p>\n

A big reason for Canonical’s market success is that Charmed OpenStack is designed to be an easy-to-deploy and use carrier-grade private cloud implementation. It comes with enhanced SDN handling and edge compute capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While financial details haven’t been revealed, Canonical’s pleased by the deal. “Canonical is truly excited to partner with MTS and provide a platform on which they can roll out their 5G network,” said Regis Paquette, Canonical’s VP of Global Alliances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
