VPN-Cubed Now Available for vCloud Deployments

Hey look!!

If you take a look at these screen shots you will see that I have 3 servers - one of them is sending multicast packets (server1) and two of them are receiving multicast (server2 and server3). Whoo!

Ok - “so what you say?” “I can see that they are on the same network. They are all on the same 172.31.1.x subnet. I can do that any day of the week!”

Well, now look again.


The screen shots show the “real” host names; terremark-vpn3-c1, rackspace-vpn3-c1, and ec2usa-vpn3-c1.

This is VPN-Cubed®, the x-cloud overlay network in action. You can spread an address space you define, assign static addresses to distinct servers, use protocols like UDP Multicast, control your topology by layering virtual switches/routers, connect to your datacenter using your existing IPsec connectivity, and more!

VPN-Cubed is essentially your x-cloud container that allows you to control your infrastructure in the clouds. Combine this with other CohesiveFT solutions and you have unparalleled ability to migrate and control your architecture in the clouds.

We love the emergence of the vCloud Express hosting partners that launched with VMware last week. And we are proud to announce the industry’s first connectivity solutions for vCloud.

We can provide you the secure connectivity solution that you control, that fits your specific needs:
vCloud-to-vCloud
vCloud-to-EC2
vCloud-to-Datacenter
vCloud-to-Cloud (Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Flexiscale, more...)

It’s sort of hard to demonstrate a network - but give us a shout and we will take you on a tour of our x-cloud network. @reply / dm us at elasticserver, or contact us!

Zeus ZXTM + Elastic Server... We'll do the math.

The crew over at Zeus Technology worked with us to create the Zeus ZXTM Elastic Server Site. The Elastic Server Site allows users to quickly assemble and deploy custom ZXTM virtual or cloud appliances. Zeus' ZXTM is a souped-up IP traffic manager that is both easy to use and highly customizable. Elastic Server gives you a quick an easy way to start intelligently managing your applications, streamlining operations and providing a seamless end-user experience with ZXTM. Login to Elastic Server -> Choose your components and Configure your server -> Build -> Take ZXTM for a spin.


Zeus ZXTM is available through the Zeus Elastic Server Site. The Zeus components conveniently include a development license (performance restrictions) and gets you up and running in no time. Upgrading to a full production license is as easy as contacting the Zeus Sales Team.

Once you've download or deployed your Zeus Elastic Server it's ready to roll. Just add your services like web servers, farms, caching etc. The Zeus TrafficScript can take care of anything the Zeus Crew didn't already incorporate into the ZXTM UI. Check out the Knowledge hub for example code, walkthroughs and FAQs.

Interested in doing the same for your software component or project? Sign up for a Personal Edition Account and you'll have all the tools necessary to provide your users with a quick and easy assembly and deployment solution - The Elastic Server Factory.

The Elastic Server factory allows any developer, SI, ISV, project, team, or enterprise to source their own component supply chain and create their own server design center in the form of Elastic Server Sites. From these Elastic Server sites you can market, message and distribute your own server products. Elastic server is a great way to consume software components but also a great platform for offering your components to the public for easy consumption.
