Aderas has teamed with Madison Cloud to develop an innovative IT
Platform as a Service for Government and Commercial customers. The
platform leverages Private MultiCloud Storage from Madison Cloud powered
by StorONE SDS and direct connections to Cloud providers at Equinix
data centers. The solution will be demonstrated live in the Aderas booth
#401 at the Defense Health IT Symposium from July 30th through August 1st. DHITS is located in the Caribe Royale All Suite Hotel and Convention Center at 8101 World Center Dr., Orlando, Florida.
VMs
and containers provide application agility, yet data agility and
storage are challenging elements in most IT Production & DevOps
environments. Sub setting a database may save space but could also
introduce more problems such as version control and performance issues.
Sev 1 problems can disrupt the DevOps timeline, and there may not be
sufficient funding or system capacity to start more instances. Aderas
PaaS with PMCS delivers data agility coupled with Cloud or on-premise
compute services.
The
Madison Cloud PMCS platform is located at Equinix data centers which
provide direct high-speed low latency connections to almost all Cloud
service providers and telecommunication carrier networks. This system
design allows PMCS to be fully private with end to end security. StorONE
SDS capabilities enable DevOps teams to take instant snapshots of
Production and rapidly create thin clones that can be mounted to a wide
range of Cloud provider IT services.
When
a snapshot on PMCS is restored, multiple volumes can be created from
the same snapshot without consuming additional storage capacity. The
snapshot only saves metadata which points to where data resides on disk,
requiring very little drive space. Multiple thin clone volume restore
points can be created from the same snapshot. This capability allows
separate instances of the same file share to be presented to multiple
separate compute resources. Multiple DevOps sprints can now proceed, all
with different timelines and only changes to the Gold volume consume
additional storage space.
It's
now time to do a Day Zero Oracle database backup. A snapshot of
Production is taken in minutes and a Gold thin clone volume is created.
RMAN is pointed to the cloned Gold volume and runs offline without
impacting Production performance. PMCS also enables Oracle Real
Application Clusters (RAC) to run on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. The
data set is stored on a PMCS NFS volume and database instances mount to
it natively. Apps and middleware can access the data set in the NFS
volume simultaneously from almost any Cloud provider or compute
resource. Architects and DevOps teams can now use compute instances from
multiple Cloud Providers, on premise servers or any other device on the
WAN/LAN to connect to the same data set. The fully managed Aderas PaaS
with PMCS can also support workloads with primary block, file and object
at on premise data centers.
The days of data agility limitations & Cloud lock-in are becoming a thing of the past.
Jimmy Nguyen, CEO of Aderas, said:
"The Aderas IT Delivery PaaS accelerates DevOps, Cloud Migration and
other IT workflows. Madison Cloud and StorONE provide us with data
agility that opens up new possibilities on premise and in the MultiCloud
world."
Randall Van Allen, CEO of Madison Cloud, said:
"It's exciting to see the innovative ways that Aderas is using our PMCS
platform to solve a range of IT challenges. We look forward to working
with Aderas to find new ways to support their customers."
