The growth in popularity of cloud-based applications has brought new challenges for system admins. Rather than a single set of systems in one place a company's computing may now be spread across a number of platforms and locations.
With the announcement of its new Advanced Cloud Management product ScaleXtreme aims to give its customers a broad set of server, application and service management tools on a single platform.
Generally available from today the product has been trialled in a number of large companies to give central IT control over their public cloud deployments on systems including on Amazon Web Services, Terremark Enterprise Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
It's fully integrated with the company's existing server management capabilities, including server and application monitoring, patch management, and job automation. This allows enterprises to manage their existing infrastructure as well as taking advantage of public and private clouds to re-engineer and port their applications.
Nand Mulchandani, CEO and Co-Founder of ScaleXtreme, explains, "As enterprises evolve their applications architecture to be increasingly cloud-based, they find themselves having to deal with multiple vendors and management tools. There's usually no 'clean break' between their legacy applications running on virtualized servers in their datacenter, and starting to deploy applications in the public cloud. ScaleXtreme helps IT deal with this complexity. Our Enterprise Platform gives them a single console with which to control all aspects of cloud application provisioning; while still giving them server management functionality for handling the underlying infrastructure on their existing applications".
Features of the ScaleXtreme platform include the creation, deployment and management of cloud applications across private, public and hybrid environments. It provides automatic scaling capability across clouds, enforces access control and compliance, and provides server management tools like monitoring and patch management.
"Today, enterprises live with the reality of highly heterogeneous IT environments. Any platform that can simplify and unify the systems management burden on IT, and accelerate the provisioning of new cloud services for end users, is very welcome," says Rob Green, CEO of Dizzion Consulting, a cloud computing services firm. "We have deployed ScaleXtreme in several of our enterprise clients: from managing application scaling in the cloud, to failover and disaster recovery".
