Windocks announced the Beta release of
Windocks 3.0, the first data delivery platform built on Docker's
container technology, with support for SQL Server containers. Windocks
presents a new option for enterprises as a modern, open, data delivery
platform.
Modern: Windocks is the first enterprise data
delivery platform built on Docker's container technology. In contrast
with outdated, expensive Solaris UNIX systems that require dedicated
storage administrators, Windocks runs on Windows and provides Developers
and DBAs self-service data access and management. Windocks is priced
for wide adoption, being available at less than $20/month/data
environment. Windocks runs wherever Windows is supported, for use on any
public cloud and on premise.
Open: Windocks integrates with existing
enterprise storage systems, providing simplified access to existing
enterprise data. Windocks also adds support for creating and managing
SQL Server clones on Windows fileshares. Windocks also supports
delivery of cloned data environments to any enterprise application, and
is the first to provide support for delivery of clones to Microsoft's
new Docker containers. Windocks 3.0 also adds support for MySQL, and
other enterprise data environments are pending.
Enterprise Data Delivery: Windocks delivers
Terabyte class data environments in seconds, with incremental instantly
available updates. Teams simplify operations by using environments on a
shared server, reducing VM usage by 5:1 or more. Windocks is popular
for support of Jenkins and Continuous Integration strategies,
simplifying the delivery of data environments with multi-tier
application environments, including .NET, Java, with SQL Server and
other databases. Finally, Windocks enhances Data Governance and
Regulatory Compliance with data images stored in a versioned, auditable
data image repositories.
"Enterprise customers are asking for an
alternative to expensive, complex solutions built on Solaris UNIX." said
Paul Stanton, Windocks co-founder. "Windocks 3.0 delivers the first
container native data delivery solution that fits any budget. Windocks
empowers software developers and database administrators with tools to
create, manage, and deliver data environments more simply, and
affordably than ever. In a single step SQLServer DBAs create clonable
images, and users self-service environments with one click on the
Windocks web application."
