CloudFounders showcased its Software Defined Storage products for the first time at. The innovator unveiled the latest versions of its Open vStorage Software Defined SAN and CloudFrames vRun for Cisco UCS during the annual event.
Open vStorage is a significant innovation for the storage industry as the first VM centric storage architecture that combines the function of a SAN, high speed SSD caching, offsite replication, encryption and compression. Open vStorage software defined storage layer installs on x86 hardware or as a Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) bringing storage intelligence into software that runs closer to compute with the ability to use multiple storage backends. Since its announcement in May, several organisations have begun testing the solution as part of Proof of Concepts (PoC).
CloudFounders will also demonstrate several new features for its CloudFrames vRun including updates to its Cloud Replicator module which adds comprehensive multi tenancy and VLAN support. The technology allows CloudFrames vRun systems to securely migrate multiple on-premise customers into a single converged CloudFrames vRun cloud across one or multiple locations. In addition, both physical and virtualised applications can be delivered from either on premise or from the CloudFrames vRun cloud via VDI.
CloudFrames vRun is offered as an all-in-one converged infrastructure that has been purpose-built for the industry leading Cisco UCS server architecture and builds further on the unique Cisco Unified Computing principle. CloudFrames vRun offers Storage Virtualization, VM centric Management, Snapshotting, Replication and Multi-Tenant Networking in a single out-of-the-box platform.
