Mesosphere DC/OS 1.11 Enables Edge Computing, Multi-Cloud Operations and Elastic Scale for Data Services, KubernetesIntelligently pools resources across clouds and automates operations for a broad range of workloads to empower the enterprise with personalization, machine learning and IoT applications SAN FRANCISCO, March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Mesosphere — the creators of DC/OS, the premier platform for building and running data-intensive, containerized applications — announced the availability of Mesosphere DC/OS 1.11. The latest release enables edge and multi-cloud operations with new features to intelligently pool resources, schedule a broad range of workloads, and manage dynamic, distributed infrastructure from a single management interface. Driven by demand from enterprise customers like athenahealth and Royal Caribbean, DC/OS uniquely automates the underlying infrastructure so that teams can deliver high-value services, like personalized experiences, machine learning, and IoT applications, faster and more efficiently. "Mesosphere DC/OS powers the real-time decision-making engine that allows millions of our mobile users to automatically and seamlessly switch between cellular and Wi-Fi networks for the best possible customer experience," said Thorsten Mueller, SVP Products, Group Innovation, Deutsche Telekom AG. "We're thrilled to see Mesosphere continue to make it easy to run containerized applications and open source data tools elastically, across data centers and multiple cloud providers simultaneously." New features in DC/OS 1.11 include a new unified control plane to enable seamless edge and multi-cloud operations. This consistent management experience, on-premise or at the edge, enables business continuity, disaster recovery, and cloud-bursting capabilities. DC/OS 1.11 greatly simplifies the deployment and management of hybrid and multi-cloud operations: unlike other solutions, DC/OS can span multiple cloud environments so workloads can be deployed to cloud X or cloud Y automatically. Production Kubernetes-as-a-Service on DC/OS is also now generally available with one click, allowing operations teams to deploy, scale and upgrade Kubernetes. The release also adds multi-layer security features to help secure the entire application stack, including data pipelines. "In ahurry to modernize the stack, enterprise companies sometimes turn, first, to public providers to get as-a-service capabilities that come at a high price, both monetary and technological, since any application developed on these services is tied to proprietary APIs," said Rhett Dillingham, vice president and senior analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy. "Not only does DC/OS power those same data services, but the platform also allows the enterprise the freedom to choose any combination of infrastructure — public clouds, private clouds, or datacenter — with truly elastic scale." "As we've seen from our customer base of Global 1000 companies, the enterprise has a tremendous opportunity in front of them: take control of their data, a business' greatest asset, and turn it into insight and actions that drive profit and growth," said Florian Leibert, CEO and co-founder, Mesosphere. "DC/OS provides the platform to power real-time, data-driven applications, like those for connected cars, personalized experiences, and machine learning, all with the right infrastructure on your terms." Edge and Multi-Cloud Operations New features in DC/OS 1.11 enable the following:
Kubernetes-as-a-Service Enhanced Security DC/OS 1.11 adds new layers of security for data services, which simplifies regulatory compliance. First, sensitive information in transit is now encrypted. Second, DC/OS provides data services integration with common authentication, authorization, and access control mechanisms such as Kerberos, LDAP, and Active Directory. Additionally, DC/OS 1.11 improves secrets management, which is used by authorized applications to share sensitive information. Also included is new support for hierarchies and multi-team isolation to make it easier to manage which secrets can be accessed by applications or teams. Availability About Mesosphere |
