Building a High Performance Cloud with Boston & Mellanox: CloudX

Posted on 30 May, 2014

Cloud is fast becoming the most important technology in the data centre, and many of our customers have been seeking help on how to build their cloud infrastructure and prepare for a world where all applications will be expected to run efficiently and reliably in the cloud.

CloudX is a recipe for high performance cloud infrastructures, based on Mellanox's OpenCloud architecture. It uses off-the-shelf building blocks for servers, storage and interconnect to form a flexible and cost-effective solution for on-premise private, public, and hybrid clouds.

There are multiple benefits when adopting CloudX as the reference architecture for your cloud infrastructure:

  • Unbounded cloud performance: Hadoop, MongoDB, MemCacheD all perform up to 4x better
  • 50% lower IT costs: Off-the-shelf hardware & open source-based software delivers better value
  • Open architecture: Choose between open source and commercial software

Our close working relationship with partners such as Ceph, Mellanox, RedHat, Supermicro, and VMWare makes us well placed to advise customers looking to build a high performance cloud that is free of the bottlenecks traditionally present in cloud infrastructures.

Make sure and visit our dedicated CloudX page where you can find more information, and don't forget that you can get in touch with our technically trained representatives to discuss your cloud needs and how CloudX could help you and your business!
