KALEAO announced the introduction of KMAX-EP,
the newest version of KALEAO's flagship solution for the server
infrastructure market. KMAX-EP builds on the market leading scalability
and cost benefits of KALEAO's initial KMAX offering, now known as
KMAX-HD, which is optimized for hyperscale deployment. KMAX-EP offers
the total cost of ownership advantages of a hyperconverged solution
further enabling the digital transformation of enterprise markets.
"We
see KALEAO's version of hyperconverged filling a true need in the
industry and gaining traction," said Mike Leone, Senior Analyst at
Enterprise Strategy Group. "The value proposition of KALEAO around
consolidation of resources is powerful, especially as more
compute-intensive use cases, like IoT, continue to emerge. With the
opportunity of satisfying real-time performance needs at the edge,
KALEAO's unique approach warrants and is worth consideration."
Designed
specifically to meet the needs of enterprise infrastructure, KMAX-EP's
fully integrated 4U chassis, power supply options, and pure,
single-sided access further enables key applications for IT leaders
including:
- Consolidation of IT services to
bring resources together, to lower operational expense, and deliver
corporate data governance while reducing management complexity
- Service delivery using private enterprise cloud models for enhanced data security and protection
- Modernization of the enterprise data center with new levels of scalability and efficiency
KALEAO's
KMAX product line moves hyperconverged infrastructure a step further,
to what it calls "true converged," delivering a consolidated
software-defined platform integrating computing and storage and now with
integrated networking to be deployed one chassis at a time. The KMAX-EP
and KMAX-HD products deliver up to 10 times the compute density of
other hyperconverged offerings while consuming a quarter of the power
due to KMAX's optimized scale-out architecture. KMAX also benefits from
the use of low-power ARM 64-bit processors.
"It is an exciting
time at KALEAO as we've begun to expand our technology offerings based
on customer feedback and market demand. Our KMAX-EP is the next logical
step in bringing true converged infrastructure to more global
organizations," said Greg Nicoloso, CMO and Co-Founder, KALEAO. "We're
pleased to announce the latest addition to our portfolio, KMAX-EP, today
as we look forward to releasing additional offerings and
configurations."
All KMAX products are available in a Server
Edition to deliver a managed bare metal environment, and an Appliance
Edition, delivering out of the box services. Initial Appliance versions
include the OnApp Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) Platform for
software defined infrastructure as a service (IaaS) with centralized
system management, for multi-tenant OS and Docker-based applications
deployment. Additional appliance editions are in development.
The
new KMAX-EP may be ordered now and will be generally available in the
second half of 2018. Enterprises who want to conduct a functional
evaluation of the benefits of KMAX may contact KALEAO directly for
further information.
