Yottabyte, a two-year-old Michigan start-up with awfully big shoes to fill given its very big name, claims to have what every boy wants these days, a cloud operating system.
\nIt says the widgetry lets it create cloud-based data centers that incorporate storage, compute and network using a public, private or hybrid cloud model, a claim that sounds vaguely familiar.
\nIt fancies that unlike competitive point solutions, it may be the first provider to really embrace the scope of what it calls the data center challenge. It figures customers want compute, network and storage in a single solution; they want to virtualize machines and applications; and they want to deploy hybrid clouds.
\nIt says that\u2019s a tall order, historically requiring multi-vendor solutions and typically resulting in tough compromises in performance or scalability. <\/p>\n
