ZeroStack Builds Enterprise Capabilities Into OpenStack-Based Hybrid Cloud Platform

ZeroStack, Inc., a one-stop shop for hybrid cloud infrastructure, is the first to build capabilities that enterprises expect for OpenStack-based hybrid cloud to support applications in production.

Key functions in the ZeroStack Cloud Platform include:

• VM HA
• Workload placement policies
• Data protection
• Support for external storage
• zApp store delivering single-click application deployment
  

These developments, coupled with ZeroStack’s self-healing software, make the ZeroStack Cloud Platform a complete enterprise-ready OpenStack-based hybrid cloud solution.

Enterprises are looking to OpenStack to satisfy their cloud computing requirements, but they don’t want to train their IT staff on OpenStack technology and they want to be sure solutions meet their reliability needs. ZeroStack’s turnkey, self-healing Cloud Platform delivers OpenStack functionality without IT operational burden with enterprise capabilities including integration of TrilioVault, the solution delivers what enterprises demand for production applications.

“The market continues to build momentum behind OpenStack, but enterprises demand HA and data protection features that can help to eliminate downtime,” said Dr. Jim Metzler, principal analyst, Ashton, Metzler & Associates, Inc. “Vendors like ZeroStack are now integrating these important capabilities, and this will accelerate enterprise adoption of OpenStack-based clouds.“

“Last year, ZeroStack brought plug-and-play, self-serve AWS-like consumption to enterprise clouds with its fully-integrated Cloud Platform, and now, we have become the first to offer enterprise capabilities in an OpenStack-based cloud,” said Deep Bhattacharjee, head of product management, ZeroStack. “With this announcement, ZeroStack is making OpenStack mature for enterprises by eliminating one of the key barriers to broad adoption.“
