Cloupia Unified Infrastructure Controller's structure
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud and data center management and automation provider Cloupia announced the general availability of the Cloupia Unified Infrastructure Controller that now supports the Cisco and NetApp FlexPod architecture.
The move comes a couple months after Cloupia expanded into Europe with the opening of its new London office.
Cloupia is a member of the NetApp Alliance Partner Program as a Cloud Management Partner.
Cisco and NetApp validated the CUIC for the FlexPod, ensuring a pretested shared infrastructure that combines Cisco networking, computing and NetApp storage to help channel partners accelerate and simplify their customers’ transition to the cloud.
First announced in August, CUIC better enables enterprises and service providers to build and transform data center PODs into clouds, streamlining management by providing unified interface across all components.
“The Cloupia solution helps our customers to manage FlexPod as a holistic system by helping to reduce the complexity of provisioning TCO, OpEx and time to deliver services,” said Raju Penmetsa, CTO for Cloupia.
Cloupia Unified Infrastructure Controller provides comprehensive management and automation solution that integrates with the FlexPod management system with features that include provisioning, monitoring and management for physical, virtual and cloud environments.
Among the features are single-click infrastructure provisioning, including bare-metal state-less compute blade provisioning, allocating and mapping of shared storage, and advanced network provisioning to support both physical and virtual workloads, a simplified install process for a truly integrated out-of-box solution to begin resource deployments, monitoring/analytics and management of FlexPod within a few hours, and automated and non-disruptive scaling of FlexPod, management and real-time monitoring from a single pane of glass for each infrastructure component in FlexPod.
Additionally, it features integrated cloud automation capabilities that include end-user self-service portal, design component-level service catalog, and chargeback management that avoids additional tools, and a model-based orchestrator that enables IT administrators to customize and automate many infrastructure administrative and operational workflows with a workflow UI designer.
Cloupia offers comprehensive management and automation solutions with automation and management capabilities for FlexPod to Cloupia Channel Partners, VARs, and System Integrators.
The company also offers a comprehensive channel program that makes it easy for the channels to join as a channel partner.
