ZeroStack Debuts New Operational Features for Its Self-Driving Cloud
ZeroStack,
Inc., creators of a self-driving on-premises cloud, today announced
a host of new features that further streamline operations for IT
administrators and DevOps Workbench end users. Already renowned for its
point-and-click self-provisioning and operational simplicity,
ZeroStack's (News - Alert) self-driving cloud now sports new, advanced capabilities
that further reduce IT overhead while giving end users greater
flexibility. The features include:
-
Host Evacuation - IT administrators can now safely evacuate
hosts into maintenance mode to upgrade the processor, add storage, or
perform other operations.
-
Migration of VMs between hosts - In order to manage placement
of workloads and optimize resource utilization, ZeroStack now allows
IT administrators and even end users to migrate their VMs to other
hosts, subject to resource availability on target hosts.
-
Shared networks - MSPs and enterprises can now improve resource
utilization by sharing server images and networks among multiple
projects or customers.
-
New network QoS features - Administrators can now limit the
network bandwidth used by any VM to ensure SLAs and limit
bandwidth-hogging applications.
-
VMware OVA miration - ZeroStack introduces another way to
automatically migrate complex workloads from VMware using the new OVA
upload and deployment feature.
-
Simplified Windows ISO uploads - ZeroStack provides an easy way
to upload Windows ISOs directly from a Windows or Mac laptop.
ZeroStack then converts these ISOs into native image format and places
them into the image library to be shared and used by many business
units and projects.
"We continually strive to reduce IT operations overhead and to optimize
resource usage while giving end users more control and self-service
flexibility in using our cloud platform," said Kamesh Pemmaraju, vice
president of product management at ZeroStack. "These new features
address real-world customer needs and help keep our cloud platform at
the forefront of the industry."
