Gridstore and DCHQ merge to create HyperGrid, which combines the technologies of both to offer a hyperconverged IaaS platform.

The booming hyperconverged infrastructure space has a new company in the mix now that startups #Gridstore and #IBM DCHQ have merged to create HyperGrid, a vendor that officials say is offering a hyperconverged infrastructure-as-a-service. #HyperGrid officials announced the Gridstore-DCHQ deal July 25, though no financial details were announced. The company is looking to combine Gridstore's hyperconverged all-flash infrastructure with DCHQ's software platform, which automatically moves and manages applications across cloud and container environments. The result is an offering that provides a hyperconverged infrastructure that comes with a pay-as-you-consume pricing model. Through the new HyperGrid offering, businesses can create a cloud-like environment similar to something like Amazon Web Services ( #AWS ) in their own data centers. #Dell #EMC #Nutanix #SimpliVity #Lenovo #Pivot3 #HPE #VMware #vSphere and #Microsoft #Azure and #Hyper-V  #Docker, #Mesosphere, #KVM, #OpenStack
