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 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.
