Why choose Fairbanks as your partner for your open-source infrastructure?
-
According to Vodafone
- ''It isn't a logical decision for us to keep our clouds fragmented. We are looking at hybrid solutions to unite our cloud environments and Fairbanks has helped us with that.''
- ''Vodafone is looking for more transparency and flexibility. We can achieve this with our open source cloud solution.''
- ''Another reason for us in hiring Fairbanks is that they manage our cloud infrastructure environment. We don't have to do this ourselves, which leaves us a lot of time and opportunities to work on other aspects within the field.''
