Amax Showcased CloudMax Private Cloud Solution

AMAX Information Technologies, Inc. showcased its CloudMax converged cloud infrastructure solution at VMworld 2014.

It is private cloud solution featuring OpenStack integrated with either traditional server or Facebook-inspired Open Compute platforms, Open Networking/SDN support capabilities, and multi-hypervisor integration including VMware’s vSphere ESXi, Citrix’s Xen, Windows Hyper-V and KVM. Deployed within days and provisioned in minutes, it’s a way to bring up, maintain and scale your private cloud. For customers who need further assistance with setting up their environment or further customization, the company offers services ranging from feature development to onsite installation for a plug and play experience.

It can also be deployed as a cloud platform compatible with cloud OSs outside of the software. For customers who are using VMware’s vSphere and are looking for a way to scale their infrastructure, the hardware platform is also validated with vSphere and can be deployed as a vSphere platform with vSphere loaded in place of the CloudMax software, giving customers the flexibility in how they want to deploy and scale their cloud.

“Private clouds work best as converged total solutions with built-in modularity,” said James Huang, product marketing manager, AMAX. “Whether deployed as a complete converged solution based on OpenStack to run multiple hypervisors, or as a platform to extend an existing vSphere infrastructure, CloudMax is a fully-integrated yet customizable private cloud solution designed with agility, scalability, operational cost efficiency and compatibility in mind.“

The company showcased the OCP Open Rack version of the infrastructure along with demos of the CloudMax OpenStack software featuring a centralized management GUI for automated machine discovery, allocation, configuration, provisioning and total management of the OpenStack cloud environment.
