CloudFounders,
a leading developer of advanced private cloud technologies for
IT-as-a-Service solutions, today celebrates its second anniversary as
the world’s first true private on premise cloud platform with the
release of CloudFrames.
CloudFrames is a revolutionary software platform that converts commodity
x86 hardware into a multi-function, ultra-reliable and high performance
private cloud.
“Simply saying that you have a private cloud does not make it true,”
explains Joost Metten, CEO for CloudFounders. “Almost every vendor is
now claiming to have an on premise private cloud offering but many offer
little more than basic virtualisation capabilities. With CloudFrames, we
have an offering that combines all the elements needed to build a
complete private cloud that can be installed on any standard x86
hardware.”
Based on six years of technical development, CloudFrames is a fully
integrated solution that combines the following:
-
Cloud automation and management engine offering a single pane of glass
for server, network and storage virtualization
-
Scale out, redundant SAN with performance at 20,000 IOPS per box
-
15 minute snapshots zero copy cloning and replication
-
Built in continuous backup and disaster recovery
-
Multiple hypervisor support across VMware, Hyper-V, Xen and VirtualBox
-
Flexible deployment options – either at the customer office or a data
center
-
Uses commodity x86 hardware
In terms of cost, many “new” private cloud solutions start at a $100,000
plus initial investment whereas CloudFounders offers a modular grow as
you need pricing structure. “With CloudFrames a customer can start with
a total investment that includes hardware, software and networking for
less than $10,000 and then add capacity when needed,” Metten adds. The
private cloud technology developed by CloudFounders has been deployed at
over 2,000 customers over the last two 2 years through a previous OEM
agreement.
CloudFounders will be showcasing its proven private cloud technologies
and platforms at the upcoming VMworld 2012 San Francisco, booth 1940.
Demonstrations of the platform and Interview opportunities with Chairman
Kristof De Spiegeleer and CEO Joost Metten are available during the
event. For more details, please contact arvid@cloudfounders.com.
