PARIS, FRANCE — (Marketwired) — 11/03/14 — OpenStack Summit
and today announced the successful completion of an OpenStack proof of concept (PoC) in which KVH enterprise customers are able to spin up workloads in multiple dissimilar data centers via a single cloud and WAN orchestration interface. The PoC, which utilized the Siaras cloudScape platform, enables KVH to substantially broaden the range of cloud services it offers while simultaneously reducing the complexity and spin-up time associated with implementing or modifying cloud deployments. The Siaras cloudScape platform handles workload and connectivity orchestration across a range of wide area networks and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) underclouds.
“We are finding that the needs of our enterprise customers, many of whom are large financial institutions, are diverse and unlikely to be satisfied by a single cloud deployment,” stated Caleb Crane, director at KVH. “We see increasing demand to place workloads in cloud data centers best suited for specific applications and potentially move them as conditions warrant. Enterprises do, however, want to be able to federate all cloud and intercloud WAN services under a single umbrella and, in working with Siaras, we have been able to successfully implement that capability.”
The completion of the KVH-Siaras PoC is significant progress in further enhancing KVH hybrid-private cloud offering that allows customers to connect their dedicated computing environments to major public cloud services. By using the Siaras cloudScape software, KVH enterprise customers can define compute workloads and policies in a single interface that unifies multiple cloud providers and allows a customer–s applications to run in those separate clouds at the same time. The clouds that are available for use can be in a KVH data center, or in a public cloud like AWS.
According to Sig Luft, Siaras co-founder and chief technology officer, “The definition of hybrid as it pertains to cloud is expanding beyond historical yet simplistic private/public delineations. Enterprises now contemplate deploying application workloads in a variety of cloud data centers in order to optimize placement, performance, and cost. What we–ve demonstrated with KVH is that service providers, with extensive network and data center assets, are well positioned to be the gatekeepers to this multifaceted hybrid cloud world.”
The KVH-Siaras PoC was conducted in KVH data centers along with workloads placed in the AWS Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region and connectivity provided via the KVH network and AWS Direct Connect.
