Klas Telecom's Voyager Tactical Data Center Achieves VMware Ready™ StatusKlas Telecom (News - Alert), an engineering and design company that develops innovative communications solutions for use in austere environments where low size, weight, power and ruggedization are required, today announced that its Voyager Tactical Data Center (Voyager TDC) has achieved VMware Ready™ status. This designation indicates that, after a detailed validation process, Voyager TDC has achieved VMware's highest level of endorsement and is supported on VMware vSphere® 6.5 for production environments. "We are pleased that Klas Telecom's Voyager TDC qualifies for the VMware Ready™ logo, signifying to customers that it has met specific VMware interoperability standards and works effectively with VMware cloud infrastructure. This signifies to customers that Voyager TDC can be deployed in production environments with confidence and can speed time to value within customer environments," said Kristen Edwards, director, Technology Alliance Partner Program, VMware. By using Voyager TDC with VMware vSphere® 6.5, organizations can rapidly and easily deploy an enterprise-grade storage and compute network in the size of an airline carry-on rollaway case so users can access, collect, store, analyze and disseminate high volumes of data locally rather than relying on reach back into an offsite data center. Voyager TDC is designed to military standards for ruggedization and provides the highest compute performance per watt and storage per cubic inch than any other solution available in the tactical market. Voyager TDC saves time, money and resources by reducing hardware footprint (the system replaces hundreds of pounds of traditionally-deployed server room equipment), simplifying transportation and logistics (the case can be hand carried) and lowering total cost of ownership for customers. "This certification gives VMware customers assurance that the Voyager TDC works well with VMware cloud infrastructure and enables them to leverage their existing investments," said John Gallagher (News - Alert), chief executive officer, Klas Telecom. The VMware Ready program is a co-branding benefit of the Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program that makes it easy for customers to identify partner products certified to work with VMware cloud infrastructure. Customers can use these products and solutions to lower project risks and realize cost savings over custom built solutions. With thousands of members worldwide, the VMware TAP program includes best-of-breed technology partners with the shared commitment to bring the best expertise and business solution for each unique customer need.
