VSkyCube Hyperconverged Infrastructure Solution by Promise

Initially available on x86 appliances

Promise Technology Inc. announced a range of hyperconverged systems for flexible, streamlined data center and IT operations: VSkyCube.

Emerging in recent years as an extension of integrated infrastructure systems, as well as a unit of scaling for hyperscale data centers, hyperconverged infrastructures offer advantages in scalability, performance, management and VM density over converged architectures – which often have multiple components of disparate equipment in the same rack. Hyper-converged infrastructures allow for extreme scaling and performance without the aggravation of individual design considerations for siloed IT resources.

Designed for SMEs, VSkyCube is for businesses looking to increase scalability, agility and improve administration efficiency while managing costs. It encompasses compute, networking and storage virtualization technologies as a cost-effective means to implement the IT-in-a-box and cloud-in-a-box concepts of system administration. It is designed with a scale-out approach and offers a distributed storage system with advanced compute, storage and networking features that allow for a lower up-front investment and reduced TCO. The platform includes a centralized single pane of glass management system and is designed to deliver a pre-integrated and adaptable cluster with a unified pool of scalable resources that can be rapidly deployed, adapted and managed. It was designed as an application-driven architecture running on commodity hardware that offers cost-effectiveness without sacrificing performance.

PROMISE_highlight-vskycube-3As more and more vendors are jumping on the hyper-converged bandwagon, it is encouraging to see Promise address the small and medium-sized environments and storage-centric workloads,” said Jim Miller, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates. “The small and medium sized sites have historically been unable to leverage the larger converged infrastructure solutions – until now.

VSkyCube will initially be available on a range of purpose-optimized x86 appliances, based on commodity hardware. This allows users to selectively scale for compute-intensive or storage-intensive resources as well as mixed workloads.

VSkyCube is meant to keep pace with business cycles that need systems to support fast, responsive development processes,” noted Ken Dai, GM, cloud solutions business unit, Promise. “Our VSky hyper-converged systems are designed to help businesses rapidly deploy IT workloads and scale IT infrastructures as business grows.
