Cloudistics Unveils New Version of Ignite Software

Cloudistics Unveils New Version of Ignite SoftwareOn-prem cloud computing vendor Cloudistics unveiled a new version of their Ignite software Wednesday. This comes after the company saw an uptick in growth and client base during the last quarter.

According to a recent release, Cloudistics Ignite 3.0 software boasts new features and functionalities that mean deployments move faster and managing apps is a lot easier. Plus, they are expanding globally.

“The Ignite software powers and controls the Cloudistics on-premises cloud platform, delivering mid-market and enterprise customers the same experience and functionality of the public cloud in a simple, plug-and-play and high performance on-premises appliance,” according to a recent release.

Jon Halseth, manager of Information Technology for the Atlanta Hawks, said they particularly appreciate the flexibility, scalability and ease of use that the public cloud offers, but they’re unable to store any critical data outside of their data center. However, Cloudisitics offers them “a simple-to-use and secure platform that gave us the best of public cloud with control over our data.”

Cloudistics Ignite is reportedly the first product to say they will “converge everything, network, storage, compute and virtualization into a unified software-defined appliance that is all managed from the cloud.”

The new version reportedly includes the following updates:

  • Composable cloud. Now you can dynamically assemble exact amount of resources from federated pools to run your workloads, get a unified view of utilization and consumption and pay for only what you use. Ignite scales in real-time without re-architecting or disrupting applications.
  • Flex DR (Disaster Recovery). Setup and ready-to-use disaster recovery that is the industry’s simplest — enable DR for an application within three clicks. Flex DR includes manual and automatic snapshots with marketplace integration, stateless revert, site-to-site replication and tiered snapshot retention.
  • Federated Flash Storage. Increased performance and improvements in snapshot performance and capacity, which allows faster ingestion and computation for today’s big data and containerized applications.
  • Web Services. Control the Cloudistics on-premises cloud from existing scripts tools and utilities. It also enables the quick deployment and orchestration of your applications.
  • Native Container Support. Provides support for Docker and Kubernetes. You can deploy, run and scale container-based applications including those that need to persist or share data — which is a significant competitive advantage.
  • Built-in Application Marketplace. An industry first for on-premises cloud, Ignite delivers ready-to-run, reusable, pre-built application and Docker Zone VMs that includes preconfigured and optimized images to make deploying applications as easy as point and click. Includes Microsoft®, VDI, Splunk®, Docker®, MapR® and Hortonworks®.
  • Versatile cloud platform. Includes high-availability, oversubscription and hot-plug support for CPU, memory and storage.

“We are delighted that more and more customers are adopting Cloudistics as they transform to an on-premises cloud computing model and continue to move away from the escalating economics of the public cloud,” said Najaf Husain, CEO and Founder of Cloudistics. “Building on a product that was recently named one of ’10 Coolest Hyper-Converged Products of 2016,’ Ignite’s expanded set of features are designed to deliver to our customers the best features, functionality and performance that they demand.”

The new release has already been rolled out to those who currently use the Cloudistics platform.
