Canonical is excited to announce that Expeto has joined the Charm Partner Programme. Canonical’s Charm Partner Programme helps solution providers make best use of Canonical’s universal service modeling tool, Juju; enabling instant workload deployment, integration, and scaling at the click of a button. Juju makes it easy to deliver complete solutions in minutes, on virtually any public or private cloud through the use of Charms. The Juju Charm Store has over 300 cloud based applications ready to be deployed, scaled and managed on most public and private clouds, as well as bare metal.

Expeto offers the entire LTE core network stack in a Platform as a Service model. Using NetworkFunction Virtualization as a base, the on ­demand, cloud environment can be scaled in milliseconds where, and when needed.
