Today, hybrid cloud infrastructure provider Stratoscale
announced the latest version of its namesake platform. Stratoscale V5
delivers key functionality that brings the company a step closer to its
vision of multi-cloud hybrid computing, which aims to break down walls
separating enterprise environments and the public cloud, applying the
cloud-native paradigm across all environments. It offers operational
agility for legacy applications and accelerates application development
for new ones.
The public cloud has become the new operating system for consuming
resources and advanced services, which are at the foundation of
developing and deploying modern enterprise applications. Many want to
tap the same benefits for on-prem computing, with the flexibility to
employ a hybrid model or even go multi-cloud – all using the same
paradigm. However, it’s hard to achieve these goals without getting
locked in. There are different technology stacks for enterprise and
public cloud, which vary for each type of cloud. Even the tools for
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) are cloud-specific.
“Stratoscale removes these barriers by delivering the same technology
stack for enterprise and public clouds while supporting multiple public
clouds,” explained Ariel Maislos, Stratoscale’s CEO.
Version 4 brought AWS-compatible capability on-prem by adding key cloud
functionality and supporting managed services, including databases,
object storage, Kubernetes, Hadoop, managed VMs and load balancers. Now,
with V5, Stratoscale adds new components to tie together all aspects of
application development from identity and access management, to
monitoring and notifications, offering developers the same public cloud
experience and advantages.
“Stratoscale V5 powers our multi-cloud hybrid vision by offering a suite
of services for evolving cloud computing needs,” said Maislos.
“Healthcare, technology, telecom and financial services companies are
modernizing on-prem environments with Stratoscale because they want to
develop consistently across different environments, including data
centers and edge locations, with the simplicity, ease-of-use and speed
of the public cloud, while having the option to leverage the public
cloud APIs and Infrastructure-as-Code tools for their on-prem workloads.
Looking ahead, we are on a march to augment our multi-cloud support by
adding managed open source services such as Kafka and Elasticsearch,
adding features for our Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) support, and
enhancing support for Azure and GCP APIs, to deliver on the full
potential of our vision.”
Stratoscale V5 boasts a growing portfolio of offerings, including
fine-grained identity management, message busses, notification and DNS
services, monitoring, and database replication. Stratoscale also added
new, strategic, managed open source functionality, critical for running
cloud-native apps on-prem, including Petabyte scale S3 with CEPH, along
with managed Redis and MongoDB services as part of Stratoscale’s rich
managed database catalog. It also introduces sophisticated operations
such as site-to-site disaster recovery, including object storage and
continuous seamless no downtime upgrades.
