The aim of HyperCloud, said SoftIron, is to automate the provisioning of storage, computing, networking and infrastructure services.
CTO Kenny Van Alstyne (pictured) said: “Building and running clouds today is overly complex as engineers battle to integrate disparate layers of technology into a resilient, performant and scalable solution. It was time to take a step back and architect an entire platform, from the ground up, with the single task of making cloud consumable.”
The new service provides “a fully functioning, multi-tenant cloud that can be deployed in as little as half a day and less than half a rack and scale almost infinitely”, said SoftIron.
CEO Phil Straw added: “Public cloud is popular because it creates a consumption-based experience hiding the complexity of operating a resilient, elastic infrastructure, and the sheer brute force of engineering that is needed to accomplish – historically, that’s only been possible at hyperscale.”
Straw added: “It’s a useful utility in your IT tool belt, but most organisations today want a hybrid model. Creating a complexity breakthrough required a totally new approach to deliver the first and only complete technology to be used specifically for building clouds.”
HyperCloud uses pre-integrated building blocks said the company, claiming: “The result radically simplifies the architecting of a cloud, enabling operations teams to quickly empower application owners and data users to consume and manage services seamlessly across private and public resources.”
