[May 25, 2012] Adaptivity, Nimbula Team to Accelerate Move of Legacy IT to the Cloud Tweet May 25, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- At the 9th Annual MIT Sloan CIO Symposium, Adaptivity, provider of Software Accelerating IT Transformation, and Nimbula, a cloud operating system company, announced that they are partnering to accelerate enterprise cloud adoption by integrating Adaptivity's forthcoming Blueprint4Cloud decision analytics platform with the Nimbula Director cloud platform. According to a release, currently available to early adopters, the Adaptivity Blueprint4Cloud Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform focuses on making the right cloud computing planning and design decisions. When the platform launches to the general public in the third quarter of 2012, it will allow potential cloud services customers to quantify the demands of their business applications and select the right cloud infrastructure to support them. Nimbula Director will be a key launch partner for this platform, and users will be able to plan and design Nimbula Director based clouds. In addition to this integration, the companies also plan to work jointly with their clients on enterprise cloud migrations. Nimbula Director is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) software solution allowing organizations to build scalable, self-service on-premise private or hybrid clouds. Together Nimbula and Adaptivity have created a system for building clouds and migrating applications into the cloud to save time and effort both for IT and the lines of business. "Nimbula recognizes that customers want to start turning legacy IT into an internal cloud but oftentimes have difficulty knowing where to start," said Jeffrey Webb, Director of Business Development at Nimbula. "With this joint solution, customers can deploy scalable private and hybrid cloud infrastructure and can quickly, efficiently and safely migrate their business applications over to their new cloud infrastructure. This combination is powerful because it helps customers go from bare metal to the application level, bringing the value of cloud all the way to the business." "Our goal with Blueprint4Cloud is to help cloud consumers make independent fact based decisions and identify the right solution to meet their specific needs," said Jason Noel, VP and Cloud Practice Lead at Adaptivity. "We are very excited about offering the ability to decision and design for Nimbula Director. The ability of Nimbula Director to seamlessly offer public cloud like capabilities across a private cloud, Amazon EC2 and VMware environments is going to be very enticing for many of our enterprise customers."
