Mesosphere Joins Dell EMC's Reseller Program to Provide Open, Scalable Platform for Hybrid Cloud
Using Mesosphere DC/OS, Dell EMC customers can quickly and easily deploy data-intensive, microservices and containerized applications while reducing cost and optimizing compute resources
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mesosphere — the creators of DC/OS, the premier platform for building and running data-rich, containerized applications — today extended its existing strategic relationship with Dell EMC by becoming part of Dell EMC's formal reseller program. Under this agreement, joint customers can now purchase Mesosphere DC/OS licenses, services and training directly from Dell EMC and its reseller partners globally. By collaborating with Mesosphere, Dell EMC customers can now orchestrate containerized applications and data services between their on-premise and public cloud implementations, thus maximizing efficiencies, reducing cost and optimizing compute resources.
Mesosphere and Dell EMC have a history of collaborating on behalf of customers. Earlier this year, the companies delivered a reference architecture for deployment of DC/OS across Dell EMC compute and storage infrastructure. Additionally, Mesosphere integrated REX-Ray, an open source container storage orchestration engine developed by {code} — Dell Technologies' open source organization — to manage storage from multiple platforms, in DC/OS.
This announcement illustrates the continued collaboration by Mesosphere with leaders in the server industry. By partnering with a leading hardware and software provider like Dell EMC, Mesosphere is better able to provide enterprises with a unique hybrid cloud solution, allowing them to maintain control of valuable proprietary applications and data while still unlocking the full potential of digital transformation.
"We're incredibly proud to extend our relationship with Mesosphere and provide our joint customers a unique hybrid cloud solution," said Joshua Bernstein, vice president of technology, Dell Technologies. "Customers are increasingly seeking solutions that offer public cloud-style services without the threat of cloud vendor lock-in; combining DC/OS with Dell EMC hardware fulfills that need. In addition, DC/OS has a unique architecture that allows it to orchestrate both containerized microservices and modern data services using its application-aware scheduling, making it an ideal platform for the kind of applications that are transforming businesses today."
"At Royal Caribbean, we're building complex and groundbreaking software systems that need to be quickly and easily deployed, scaled and maintained across dozens of ships at sea," said Michael Delgado, chief technology officer at Royal Caribbean. "We're excited to see Mesosphere and Dell EMC more closely aligned and working toward cloud-native solutions that provide ease of use, control and the ability to deploy within our own data centers."
"Mesosphere is helping businesses deliver personalized and seamless customer experiences, by powering data-intensive applications on hybrid and edge cloud infrastructures," said William Freiberg, chief operating officer, Mesosphere. "With this collaboration, we're empowering joint customers to deliver next-generation customer service with the flexibility to choose on which infrastructure to deploy, whether that's on-premise or in the cloud. That's why I'm pleased to build on our relationship with Dell EMC."
