OnApp has announced that its new web and mobile portal for VMware vCloud Director
is available free for the six month period ending August 1, 2015, with
deployment, configuration and 24x7 support included. The free offer is
revealed at the VMware Partner Exchange 2015 event in San Francisco,
February 3-5, where service providers can demo the new portal at the
OnApp booth #228, and watch live demonstrations onstage with the VMware
team and during an in-depth OnApp breakout session.
OnApp
for vCloud Director provides an intuitive and fully rebrandable cloud
management and provisioning environment for the global community of
service providers running their cloud on VMware vCloud Director. Using
OnApp as the front end to vCloud-based services also gives service
providers an easy way to expand the range of services they offer, with
open source Xen/KVM-based cloud services, CDN services, and global
reseller capabilities via the OnApp Federation, OnApp's global network
of clouds.
"We're
thrilled for VMWare service providers to have access to all the
benefits of OnApp in order to help better manage and provision their
vCloud Director environment," said Narendar Shankar, President of OnApp
USA. "More than 3,000 providers in 90 countries run their clouds on
OnApp software, and an estimated one in three public clouds are now
powered by OnApp. Our free six month promotion makes it easy for the
global vCloud Director customer base to realize the benefits of
intuitive web and mobile cloud management, too, and with free deployment
and support it's super-easy to get started."
With
the release of VMware vCloud Director 5.6, VMware announced that all
new vCloud Director functionality would be accessible only via third
party portals. The new OnApp for vCloud Director portal has been in
development since early 2014 and entered an extensive Beta program in
September 2014.
The
new promotion enables service providers to deploy OnApp for vCloud
Director and use it free of charge until August 1, 2015. Following the
free period, OnApp for vCloud Director will feature extremely
competitive pricing under the VMware points system, with deployment,
configuration and 24x7 support included.
To
see a live demo of OnApp for vCloud Director, VMware Partner Exchange
attendees can visit OnApp at Booth 228 on the exhibition floor, next to
VMware's EVO Zone. In addition, OnApp will be offering a formal demo at
5:00 pm on Tuesday, February 3, during VMware's session, vCloud Director for Service Providers: Roadmap and Partner Update with a deep dive in OnApp's own breakout session, OnApp for vCloud Director, at 11:30 am on Wednesday, February 4.
