Red Hat announced that it will provide Rakuten Mobile with access to its expertise, technology, and experience in managing complex and expansive Linux estates, all while allowing its own experts to innovate and enhance customer experience. This consists of using Red Hat’s Enterprise Linux for its fully virtualized end-to-end cloud-native network.
The same solutions will be provided to Rakuten Symphony, a global provider of cloud-native open RAN infrastructure and services, allowing them to empower its global telco and enterprise customers.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s advanced security features, vendor neutrality, and hybrid cloud consistency—along with other features—will boost Rakuten’s open RAN initiatives, licensing, private 5G partnerships, and satellite-enabled LTE connectivity.
Red Hat will also support Rakuten Cloud’s efforts to certify its Cloud-Native Storage on Red Hat OpenShift facilitating easier integration with Kubernetes-native tooling.
