VPN-Cubed brings Virtual Private Clouds to Flexiant

Have you tried Flexiant? If you haven't heard of this group from Livingston, it's about time they pop up on your radar. Their cloud products - Flexiscale the public cloud and Extility the licensed cloud infrastructure platform offer a nice management console and a robust API. Add in a little VPN-Cubed and the offerings can stand up with the biggest hitters in the game. Self-service Editions of both VPN-Cubed Cloud Only and VPN-Cubed Datacenter Connect are immediately available for use on Flexiscale as public server images. Additionally Extility licensees have access to VPN-Cubed for their networking needs as well as the needs of their cloud customers.

The VPN-Cubed appliances can be used to make simple "VPC" style networks like Amazon VPC, but which can run in any cloud without being tied to EC2 specific approaches. They can be used to run key business computing topologies that have been moved to a cloud, but need secure access to the corporate datacenter. They can be used to provision development infrastructure on the fly - allowing "N" identical copies of virtual servers to be run simultaneously - identical down to its IP address. A growing number of organizations are using sophisticated, multi-cloud, multi-datacenter meshes of VPN-Cubed Managers to create global, cloud networks and sometimes even "cloud WANs". Want to learn more? Talk to some of my buddies.

VPN-Cubed is the foundation of our "secure cloud container" solutions, enabling innovative techniques like xCloudMotion(tm), an implementation of stateless server motion which allows application topologies to move between clouds, and cross continents and oceans in minutes. This is comparable to the "OTV" capabilities recently announced by Cisco for long distance VMotion the exception being it doesn't require any specific hardware, it doesn't require service or cloud provider investment or involvement, it doesn't require the same virtual infrastructure, doesn't require the same type of UNDERLYING PHYSICAL SERVER CPU (how is that for virtualized), and certainly doesn't need 10gig Ethernet via leased lines, rather it runs on the consumer Internet.

Interested in learning more about xCloudMotion or scheduling a F2F with the us and the Felxiant team? We're in London for the Cloud Computing World Forum June 28th to July 1st. We will be at the conference, CloudCamp London, and hosting a Skills Matter Event on xCloudMotion. Drop us a line or stop by, maybe we can grab a soccer/football game and a pint.
