M1 and VMware announced a new cloud offering designed to empower Singapore’s digital start-ups and SMEs.
M1 is enhancing its next-generation Software-Defined Data Centre (SDDC) portfolio, powered by the VMware Cloud Provider program, with container support through Pivotal Container Service (PKS).
The new cloud offering allows access to production-grade Kubernetes and natively-supported toolkits, which offers faster deployment of containerized workloads across private and public clouds, enabling digital start-ups to innovate quickly and go to market faster, while saving on investment in on-premises infrastructure.
Singapore’s digital start-ups face intense competition with not only their peers but global giants arriving at Southeast Asia’s shores. M1’s extensive local experience and advanced VMware cloud solutions, coupled with Pivotal’s open container platform, will give businesses a competitive advantage to respond to market opportunities and challenges with speed, agility and scale.
Alex Tan, CIO, M1
M1 offers an integrated suite of on-demand compute, storage, networking and security services through SDDC. In addition, this will be supplemented by native container support and cloud interoperability, allowing businesses to innovate in best-in-class customer experiences and challenge the status quo.
Ron Goh, President, Southeast Asia and Korea, VMware
As a proud partner of M1’s next generation SDDC, we are confident that this complete network and security virtualization platform will be a vital infrastructure supporting the business goals of M1’s start-up customers.
