Ready to Use in as Few as Two Days"
Full Story:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) announced today the latest addition to
its cloud portfolio, Native Hybrid Cloud™ (NHC™) – a turnkey
platform for cloud-native application development and deployment.
As a fully integrated and engineered platform, NHC enables
enterprises to innovate and scale faster. It helps enterprise IT
and operations teams to better collaborate with developers,
allowing for rapid application development and delivery while
providing the needed protection, controls and insight to
IT.
In today's dynamically changing digital economy, rapid
application development and shortened release cycles are the new
normal. DevOps, leveraging continuous integration and continuous
delivery (CI/CD) and a more integrated operating model and culture
between developers and IT, can provide a competitive edge, but
shifting to DevOps is difficult without the right development
platform and tools. Cloud-native platforms address this need.
Cloud-native refers to a new software architecture that enables
agile application development that follows cloud-native principles,
a shift toward microservices versus monolithic app stacks, and
embraces container infrastructure abstraction models.
Many enterprise customers have spent months – and in some cases
years - trying to "build" their own cloud-native stacks, and now
realize that deploying these stacks is difficult, and maintaining
them after "day two" operations (update/maintain/report/support) is
nearly impossible. Many have also suffered seeing multiple waves of
cloud-native employees come and go, leaving unfinished pilots that
were unsuitable for full production, and were not adequately
designed to be supported and sustained for future evolution and
growth.
Native Hybrid Cloud helps enterprises realize the promise of
cloud-native applications and DevOps with an "It Just Works"
experience. The platform has the following components, all
validated to work together:
- Continuous Innovation Cloud-Native Platform – Native Hybrid
Cloud leverages Pivotal Cloud Foundry®, the industry-leading
cloud-native platform. Pivotal Cloud Foundry delivers platform
capabilities that enhance developer productivity, enable
operational excellence, and provide enterprise grade security,
scalability, high availability, and operational control, so
customers can accelerate their time to market for software
solutions. Developers can more quickly design, build, deploy, and
scale cloud-native applications because of the tight integration of
NHC IaaS with Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Applications built using
Pivotal Cloud Foundry are truly portable and can elastically run on
any cloud – private or public.
- Developer and IT Ops Services – Native Hybrid Cloud brings
developers a rich set of services for deploying, scaling, and
managing the application life cycle while providing IT the
visibility, control, and financial insights by including logging,
monitoring, and reporting, showback, application performance, big
data analytics, and management and automation through open APIs.
For enterprises seeking real-time business insights, NHC offers an
add-on option that produces a comprehensive toolkit for data
scientists to perform big data analytics, delivering more
differentiated value.
- Turnkey – but flexible choices for On-Premises and Off-Premises
IaaS Options –Native Hybrid Cloud is built on the VCE® VxRack™
System 1000, a hyper-converged rack-scale infrastructure providing
a turnkey IaaS experience for application development, deployment,
and operations. The VxRack System allows customers to choose the
cloud software stack based on their preference: VMware vSphere with
FLEX Nodes for customers looking to leverage what they know, a
turnkey OpenStack® option for those wanting to leverage the
OpenStack ecosystem with Neutrino Nodes. In the near future, VMware
Photon Platform, a cloud-native infrastructure solution optimized
for containers and modern applications, will be supported on
Neutrino Nodes, along with data fabric options including, but not
limited to the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. VxRack System with Neutrino
Nodes provides a simple rack-scale management and orchestration
capability for cloud-native IaaS stacks, dramatically simplifying
"day two" operations and scaling infrastructure elastically to
match the needs of the developers – making what used to be complex
now simple and predictable.
- For customer deployments that require an off-premise IaaS
option, EMC Native Hybrid Cloud offers day one support for leading
public clouds: Virtustream® Enterprise Cloud, VMware
vCloud Air, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure.
For customers initially looking for a cloud-native IaaS system,
VxRack System with Neutrino Nodes and FLEX Nodes for cloud-native
IaaS is a great option because it speeds the provisioning of
resources based on open source technologies to less than one
hour.
For many enterprise businesses, Native Hybrid Cloud aligns
closer to the agile development strategy as it delivers a turnkey
developer platform for cloud-native applications.
Fully supported end-to-end by EMC, sustained as one product and
deployable in days, Native Hybrid Cloud enables enterprises to
significantly reduce the cost, time, complexity and uncertainty
associated with building, deploying and maintaining a cloud-native
solution and navigating the cultural shift to DevOps.
Delivering Cloud-Native Apps at the Speed of
Business
Native Hybrid Cloud increases business agility and
fosters innovation through an engineered platform that brings
together infrastructure elasticity, self-healing, automated
application runtime, and extended developer and IT Ops services.
Key benefits include:
- Deploy a cloud-native developer platform and infrastructure
services in as few as two days, composed of Pivotal Cloud Foundry
integrated with the EMC and VMware powered IaaS, making it ready
for tailoring to a customer environment, if desired. Native Hybrid
Cloud delivers 93 percent faster time-to-code compared to a
practice where customers build a complete cloud-native platform
from the ground up.
- 3x faster time to market. Develop and deploy cloud-native
applications in days or weeks rather than months or years. Rapid
application development from idea to production as a result of the
extensive developer and IT Ops services and tools.
- Improved DevOps collaboration. New DevOps partnerships made
possible by self-service capabilities for developers while allowing
IT to retain control and insights.
- 2x Boost to developer productivity. Developers can
self-provision infrastructure for cloud-native application
development and enjoy an "it just works" user experience. A
streamlined workflow and the ecosystem of toolsets simplify how
cloud-native applications are built, deployed, and managed.
- Single-call support. EMC provides single-call support for the
full solution.
- Reduced complexity. The Native Hybrid Cloud platform is
engineered, maintained and sustained as one platform. This means
that as the software ecosystem continues to innovate, the Native
Hybrid Cloud stack continues to get updated and supported as a
singular platform for the customer.
Availability
EMC Native Hybrid Cloud with VxRack
System with Neutrino Nodes and FLEX Nodes will be available
starting in Q3, 2016.
