Information technology has been moving fast for several years, bringing more powerful and
agile computation in the cloud, richer software, better analytics, mobility, and sensors.
If only most enterprise technology vendors were keeping up. The incumbents were schooled in
the old world of proprietary systems, higher switching costs, and vendor lock-in, and it
shows in how they see the world.
There is no better example of this than in the trend to hybrid- and Private multi-cloud
computing. In both cases, cloud-era technologies provide customers the ability to better
use existing assets and take advantage of newer ways to compute, store, and analyze data.
This is not theory, but reality. According to Gartner, 81% of organizations are working
with two or more public cloud providers. A multi-cloud strategy gives companies the freedom
to use the best possible cloud for each workload. A Private Multi-Cloud provides the best
of all worlds.
In contrast, single-cloud stacks impose a significant cost. Where there could be greater
power drawn from the unique capabilities of every cloud, there is higher complexity and the
limitation of proprietary systems. Where there could be more insight, there is siloed data.
Where there could be resilience of entirely different systems, there is concentrated risk.
Where there could be more innovation and efficiency, there are impediments. Where there
could be a single view of assets, there is a lack of control, haphazard security, and
opaque costs.
Cloud Native infrastructure platforms such as PetaCMS are committed to meeting the needs of
customers by providing choice, flexibility and openness. PetaCMS allows you to build out
private hybrid multi-cloud deployments with better cloud software production, release, and
management—the way you want, not how a vendor may dictate. That is key to how a healthy
cloud ecosystem works.
The flexibility to run applications where you need them without added complexity is a key
factor in choosing PetaCMS — many customers want to continue to use their existing
investments both on-premises as well as in other clouds and having a common management layer
helps their teams deliver quality services with low overhead. Our API management dashboard,
allows for visibility on every major cloud or on-premises, just as it should.
PetaCMS is but one part of our commitment to maximize customer power, choice, and control
wherever possible. Our on-premises appliance PetaGys CloudNode gives an enterprise plug-
and-play seamless directly connectivity to their data across Google Cloud, Amazon Web
Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure, managing large-scale data analysis fast, without having
to move or copy data sets, on a single user interface. Naturally, the PetaGys CloudNode
appliance delivers native data backup, data protection, and multi-site file data, or VM and
container images, so you can link to multiple geographically dispersed – yet secure network
transparent multi-cloud data environments.
Our strategy is not based on our predetermined need, or some sense of “how it’s always been”
in enterprise computing, but rather on our teams’ vast experience and vision of how
computing has evolved, and where it’s likely headed. Computing wants to be everywhere, you
might say, with the right machine crunching the right data for the right purpose. Done
right, that’s the future: Enabling businesses to innovate and compete wherever they want,
using the data they own to best serve their customers with better products and services.
There’s a good chance that soon your cloud will do even more of what it should have done in
the first place.
