Unitas Global, the leading enterprise cloud solution provider, today announces the availability of its newest
Enterprise Cloud service built on
OpenStack Liberty,
the 12th version of the most widely deployed open source software for
building clouds. This release further supports the company's mission
of providing fully-managed and hosted cloud services to enterprise
organizations looking to take advantage of open source hybrid cloud
computing without traditional vendor lock-in and the challenges
associated with building and operating production-grade cloud
environments.
"OpenStack's 12th release represents a significant milestone
in terms of technical maturity and enables even more enterprises to make
the move to open, hybrid cloud computing environments," says Grant
Kirkwood, Founder & CTO of Unitas Global. "Unitas helps architect
and guide enterprise customers through deploying and operating custom
OpenStack environments to create open, dynamic and production-grade
clouds without the complexity and hassle associated with going it
alone."
Cloud adoption will continue to soar amongst enterprises as
they look to meet growing needs for greater agility, scale and
intelligence, with over half deploying hybrid solutions by 2017,
according to Gartner. However, common challenges such as lack of
necessary implementation, monitoring and management tools or resources,
security and compliance concerns inhibit these critical migrations in
both new companies and experienced outsourcers alike. Similarly, while
recent reports from both Gartner and Forrester endorse OpenStack
adoption, one Forrester report stating its "viability and presence in
the market irrefutable," the software must still be combined with
numerous other components including the data center, network, compute,
storage, operations and management to obtain a production-grade private
or hybrid cloud necessary to support enterprises globally.
Built on OpenStack Liberty, Unitas' latest enterprise cloud
service makes the migration to open, hybrid cloud computing fast, simple
and worry-free, while providing enterprises with flexible, secure cloud
environments that can be supported dynamically as technology service
and features continue to evolve. These custom, compliant and dedicated
cloud-based IT environments are also easy-to-consume, fully managed,
hosted and backed by an end-to-end Service Level Agreement (SLA),
guaranteeing application uptime.
Key features and differentiators of Unitas' new Enterprise Private Cloud service built on OpenStack Liberty include:
- enhanced security features including secure data
messaging, encryption and physical separation of tenants, as well as
full SOC2, ISO:27001 and HIPAA compliance;
- deployment validation, performance testing and benchmarking;
- bare metal and virtual machine management as well as full visibility
into the OpenStack environment via Unitas' Atlas unified monitoring
platform;
- native container management (Kubernetes, Docker, Swarm, and Mesos);
- tremendous scalability and geographic reach through use of Nova compute cells;
- uniform configuration management; and
- enterprise-grade reliability and stability.
