Hyper-converged hyper-contender ZeroStack starts connecting clouds

#HyperConverged HyperContender #ZeroStack has started connecting public clouds to its on-premises kit. ZeroStack promises the usual “Our beautiful GUI and cunning plumbing means that if you turn on our boxes and go make a cup of coffee there's be VMs running before the cappuccino foam falls” experience. The likes of #VMware, #VCE, #Scale Computing #Nutanix and #SimpliVity say that too. And like ZeroStack they all rely on dense 2U servers to make the magic happen. ZeroStack's schtick is that it works with #KVM – hello, low acquisition cost – and says it can get you to a complex hybrid cloud without the need to hire any expensive architecture folks. It's validated servers from #Dell, #HPE , #Supermicro and plans more hardware partners real soon now. It also emphasises analytics that warn you in advance when storage is running low or something is awry before it ruins your weekend. The company's been selling this stuff since March 2016, has Series B finance to help it along and claims “double digit” customer numbers but didn't tell The Register if it's closer to 10 than 99. The company will say it's just released some code that moves workloads from ESX into its own environment. It promises dependencies will make the jump, too, without need for re-plumbing. And makes the same promise for workloads flowing from its own boxen to #Amazon Web Services, then back again. HyperConverged systems are a busy market with clear and cashed-up leaders, general agreement on the need for tight coupling between hardware and software and a known Big Moment on the way in the form of #Microsoft 's #Azure Stack arriving. So good luck, ZeroStack! ®

Customers have broader hardware choice for ZeroStack’s software-managed hybrid cloud offerings with Dell amd HPE

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – August 15, 2016 – #ZeroStack, a one-stop shop for infrastructure that combines the self-serve consumption model of public cloud with the security needs of businesses, today announced that it is making its Z-Fabric Cloud Platform software available on hyperconverged hardware from Dell and HP Enterprise ( #HPE ). This move expands options for customers adding cloud capabilities with new #Dell and #HPE installations, to existing #hyperconverged hardware and incenting the Dell and HPE reseller channel to bundle ZeroStack’s software-managed cloud platform. ZeroStack will supply its Cloud Platform software on the FX2 and C6320 from Dell and additional systems from HPE. Customers have much broader hardware choices for ZeroStack’s software-managed hybrid cloud offerings. “ZeroStack’s secret sauce is really its software, so it makes sense for the company to port its software to popular hardware platforms,” said Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst at ZK Research. “With these partnerships, ZeroStack has bagged two of the biggest hardware vendors.” “Customers love our software, but many of them have existing relationships with Dell or HPE as hardware suppliers,” said Deep Bhattacharjee, head of product management at ZeroStack. “This agreement allows us to serve those customers by placing our software in Dell and HPE’s distribution channels.”
