CohesiveFT (http://www.cohesiveft.com), the leader in on-boarding solutions for virtual and cloud computing infrastructures, announces the availability of CohesiveFT's VPN-Cubed, customer-controlled cloud security offering, in the vCloud Express Environment offered by Terremark Worldwide (NASDAQ:TMRK), a leading global provider of IT infrastructure services. Enterprises looking to extend compute capacity past their own data centers can now use the Terremark vCloud Express and VPN-Cubed to create a seamless and secure overlay network between their data center and their cloud-based assets. The VPN-Cubed overlay network provides four key capabilities public cloud users currently cannot control: custom static addressing for the user's cloud devices; topology control by using VPN-Cubed managers as virtual routers; use of popular enterprise protocols like UDP Multicast for service discovery; and lastly encrypted communications between all devices on the overlay network.
“Terremark's vCloud Express Environment allows for quick and simple deployment of your cloud servers and application assets into a VMware-based public cloud, similar to how you manage your private cloud assets in VMware vSphere” said Patrick Kerpan, Founder and CTO of CohesiveFT. “VPN-Cubed provides Terremark customers with similar value providing quick and secure extension of the network layer to the cloud, think of it as a user-controlled network that you deploy with your cloud-based servers and applications."
“By working with development partners like CohesiveFT, Terremark is able to offer superior value to our vCloud Express users by layering additional options on top of our core offering," said Tony Savoy, Director, Product Management, Terremark. "In a highly competitive market our goal as a service provider is to provide customers with access to innovation that improves the delivery of their applications. Having VPN-Cubed as a partner solution helps make this possible because they give our customers exposure to a unique set of tools that augment the value our vCloud Express product provides.”
VPN-Cubed is the first commercial solution that enables customer control in a cloud, across multiple clouds, and between private infrastructure and the clouds. VPN-Cubed provides an overlay network that allows the customer control over addressing, topology, protocols, and encrypted communications for their devices deployed to virtual infrastructure or Terremark's cloud infrastructure. VPN-Cubed gives customers the confidence and flexibility to utilize cloud computing by offering a layer of security that the customer controls inside of 3rd party environments.
Terremark will begin offering CohesiveFT's VPN-Cubed images immediately. VPN-Cubed is deployed as cloud server(s) that provide a customer controlled overlay network capable of connecting Terremark deployments with multiple cloud deployments, owned infrastructure, and private cloud environments. VPN-Cubed SSL and IPsec Free Editions will be available at no premium over Terremark usage fees.
