With the exponential growth of modern, containerised applications inclusive of AI/ML workloads, real-time analytics and databases with various use cases across multiple industries, organisations need enterprise-grade capabilities to run these applications efficiently and securely. NEC recognises the immense value of Spectro Cloud's Palette platform that operates seamlessly across any environment; clouds, data centres, and edge locations. As demand for containerised management at scale grows, NEC is committed to enhancing its offerings and provide a path to simplifying its customers scaling of Kubernetes requirements via a managed service powered by Spectro Cloud.

NEC emphasises that infrastructure is the core to business operations and it needs to be continually managed and optimised for the best possible performance. Spectro Cloud's Palette platform provides a highly customisable solution, uniquely allowing organisations to tailor Kubernetes clusters to their specific needs by composing their own stack of cloud-native components and configurations, all declaratively managed at scale. It offers an integrated platform for effectively managing the entire lifecycle of any Kubernetes environment, whether new or existing, simple or complex, and small or large, across any type of location, delivering scale of thousands of clusters.
With the growing adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, organisations increasingly seek the flexibility and resilience of multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments, without sacrificing choice. Spectro Cloud's Palette platform supports this trend by enabling seamless operations, consistent policies, and unified management across diverse infrastructures and any Kubernetes distribution and cloud native ecosystem integration, highlighting the need for flexible, comprehensive solutions to optimise cloud-native application deployments and operations. This addition to the NEC portfolio of services will enable enterprises in the region to easily extend their Kubernetes-based infrastructure from cloud to edge across any number of clusters and support their application innovation at scale.
“We are very excited to join forces with an industry leader such as NEC to better support the regional cloud native and Kubernetes ecosystem, as well as expand our overall presence in the APAC region,” said Alex Septoff, Head of Channel and Alliances at Spectro Cloud.
The combined knowledge and experience of NEC and Spectro Cloud will provide a robust support system for navigating the complexities of cloud native adoption and optimisation. This world-class alliance represents a shared vision of industry transformation as both NEC and Spectro Cloud drive new innovations in modern application infrastructure. Together, they aim to empower enterprises to achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and resilience.
