MILPITAS, Calif. and
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Appcara, a
provider of multi-cloud and application automation solutions, and
Pluribus Networks today announced a partnership aimed at
significantly improving cloud-based application management for
enterprises and cloud service providers. Beginning with the
availability of Appcara's App360 multi-cloud and application
automation platform on Pluribus Networks' F64 Network Computing
Appliance, the companies will offer users exceptional application
automation in any cloud environment, as well as real-time
visibility, analytics and control on enterprise applications.
App360 is the industry's most efficient software-defined
application platform for deploying and managing enterprise
applications in public and private clouds. Available in editions
for service providers as well as enterprises, the platform improves
application management over the complete app lifecycle. With
App360, users can launch any app into any cloud or multi-cloud
environment; it also supports self-service provisioning via an App
Marketplace of over 60 pre-packaged, enterprise-class apps.
With the integration of App360 on Pluribus Networks' F64 Network
Computing Appliance, users gain a turnkey, end-to-end solution for
application SLA in the cloud. The F64 Network Computing Appliance
combines open-source software, merchant silicon switching and
powerful server components to deliver high-performance network
analytics, cloud services control, software-defined fabric and L4-7
network services. Together, the products deliver complete
software-defined network and application capabilities in a single,
plug-n-play appliance.
"For enterprises to accelerate their business applications into
the cloud, they need an efficient way to deliver and manage their
application workloads across multiple clouds with total visibility
and control," said Kumar Srikantan,
CEO at Pluribus Networks. "Appcara's cloud and application
automation capabilities, combined with Pluribus Networks' advanced
networking and analytics, can deliver that kind of management
control simply and reliably."
"Enterprises have been adopting cloud at a rapid pace. But in
order for business critical apps to accelerate into the cloud, CIOs
must offer strong SLA to their user," said William Fellows, Vice President of Research, at
The 451 Research. "Today's cloud technologies rarely operate across
layers in the OSI model. With that, offering end-to-end SLA is
challenging. The combined capabilities from Appcara and Pluribus
Networks essentially collapse these layers and offer end-to-end
visibility and control."
Industry analysts and CIOs agree that application-level SLA is
critical to the success of mission-critical business applications
in the cloud. With App360 and Pluribus Networks' F64 Network
Computing Appliance, users gain:
- Simple point-and-click user interface to accelerate
applications into multi-cloud environments via the App360
portal
- Network statistics for highly distributed application workloads
deployed into multiple data centers
- The ability to control bandwidth in real-time
- A rich App Marketplace stocked with over 60 pre-packaged
applications spanning Big Data apps (e.g., Hadoop), CRM, CMS,
development tools and much more
"The lack of end-to-end visibility and control in real-time has
stalled many organizations from moving their critical enterprise
apps into the cloud," said John
Yung, CEO and founder, Appcara. "Our partnership with
Pluribus Networks will give users the application level network
statistics and control they need to efficiently run any application
workload, from simple to highly-distributed, in the cloud."
