Cloudscaling Announces Delivery Of Its First Production-Grade Elastic Cloud Infrastructure System


Cloudscaling plans to unveil the new upgrade at OpenStack Summit to be held in San Diego this week.

As reported by the officials, OCS 2.0 will raise the bar of production-grade elastic cloud infrastructure, and will be accompanied by Cloudscaling’s leading 24/7 operational support. The new upgrade version will be the first-of-its-kind elastic cloud solution that will deliver superior performance, agility, and economic benefits of large public cloud providers, but will be only deployable in the datacenter of the client, under the control of the IT team.

In addition to thus, OCS 2.0 version is expected to be the first private cloud solution that will deliver cloud operation focused enhancements and complex IT management that will transform OpenStack from a mere component of technology to a complete sale-engineered, production-grade cloud infrastructure system.

Officials reported that key features of this latest OCS version include “on-demand compute, block storage, object storage, networking, scale-out edge, core, and block networking services, private to public cloud integration options, advanced security features, intelligent resource scheduling, cloud topology management, and modular hardware reference designs that speed time to deployment and increase reliability.”

OCS is considered to be the first elastic cloud solution that delivers the benefits of high-performance elastic public cloud in client’s datacenter. In addition to delivering the key benefits of an elastic public cloud system as a high-performance private cloud solution, OCS, for the first time, delivers the key federation capabilities that enable the clients to better manage dynamic cloud applications across supported public cloud services and private elastic cloud systems like GCE and AWS. The federation between public and private clouds will be managed more efficiently by the new version of OCS Cloud Application Manager.

OCS version 2.0 brings in new and innovative features and high performance production-grade capabilities that were earlier unavailable in the OpenStack-based cloud solutions. Officials reported that production grade refers to the ability of a cloud system to support operational environments that require critical cloud operations and high up-time features and is contrast to simple OpenStack deployments, which are better suited for development and testing.

The key features of production-grade cloud infrastructure are availability, performance, maintainability, and security.

Michael Grant, chief executive officer of Cloudscaling today said that companies wanted a private elastic cloud infrastructure that can not only be used for production but also had the support of an active open source community. They also wanted something that is low-risk with less capital investment. OCS 2.0 is the response to their requirements which will address all the customer needs through a single product.

Cloudscaling is a pioneering elastic cloud infrastructure company, offering scalable, reliable and production-grade Open Cloud System available to build elastic clouds.
