Hyosung Information System upgrades UCP RS hybrid cloud platform

South Korea’s Hyosung Information System has announced the UCP (Unified Compute Platform) RS upgrade and said that it would actively support rapid deployment of cloud-native application infrastructure and flexible hybrid cloud environments.

UCP RS is a turnkey appliance jointly designed and developed by Hitachi Vantara and VMware. It provides integrated hardware and software for full software-defined data centre (SDDC) and hybrid cloud environments.

With a recent upgrade, UCP RS provides an infrastructure that lets customers achieve their service-level objectives in any cloud environment, while streamlining operations for flexible hybrid cloud infrastructure management, the company said.

UCP RS is powered by VMware Cloud Foundation and Tanzu Kubernetes services to enable ioperational consistency across on-premises and public cloud environments. It provides a common platform for orchestrating and deploying virtual machines and Kubernetes for cloud-native application development and management.

It also integrates UCP Advisor and vSphere Life Cycle Manager (vLCM) to manage the entire life cycle from Kubernetes to hardware infrastructure, as well as full-stack management and cloud operations through a common management environment from edge to core to the cloud. Additionally, UCP RS supports workload mobility across data centres and public clouds while using hyperconverged infrastructure or external SANs.
