\"OpenStack\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Morphlabs today announced the general availability of the all-SSD mCloud Rack Enterprise Edition, an SSD-powered converged infrastructure solution for the enterprise powered by OpenStack. The mCloud Rack E leverages the Dell PowerEdge-C Platform, Arista Networks’ switches and Nexenta\u2019s enterprise-class OpenStorage to deliver the industry\u2019s most price performant private cloud. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe all-SSD mCloud Rack Enterprise Edition powered by OpenStack offers Morphlabs\u2019 customers the full benefits of the most dynamic and fastest-growing open source project ever,\u201d said Morphlabs CEO Winston Damarillo. \u201cMorphlabs optimizes the best-of-breed cloud building blocks from Nexenta, Dell and Arista to deliver a high-performance, flexible infrastructure that leverages the robust OpenStack community for rapid innovations and increased code stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mCloud Rack E next generation modular architecture utilizes OpenStack adaptiveness to harness industry-leading cloud computing components. The mCloud Rack E optimizes enterprise cloud deployments by providing exponentially more IOPs per compute while retaining industry-defining power and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strength of our community and contributions of companies like Morphlabs are helping accelerate the adoption of OpenStack by making it easier for enterprises to deploy and manage,\u201d said Jonathan Bryce, OpenStack Project Policy Board and co-founder Rackspace Cloud. \u201cMorphlabs\u2019 mCloud Rack Enterprise Edition is a testament to the readiness of OpenStack for mission critical infrastructure deployments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morphlabs\u2019 mCloud solutions are built and tested on Dell PowerEdge-C servers, which use the latest hyperscale technology to decrease energy use, space and weight. Dell Data Center Services (DCS) provides global support for mCloud Racks, enabling four-hour response times anywhere in the world and affording a world-class supply chain to deliver the latest, most efficient and cost-effective data center technology to customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs early supporters of OpenStack, Dell remains committed to providing open, standards-based solutions that enable customers to integrate new technologies without sacrificing performance or existing IT investments. By employing the power of Dell PowerEdge-C servers, including Dell\u2019s popular Crowbar software framework, in Morphlabs\u2019 mCloud Rack E, we created a purpose-built infrastructure that enables users to be up-and-running on an OpenStack cloud in mere hours,\u201d said John Igoe, executive director of Cloud Solutions at Dell Inc.<\/p>\n

The mCloud Rack E is the only converged infrastructure solution that enables scalable and modular enterprise-grade block storage. Leveraging the mCloud Rack E\u2019s revolutionary share-nothing architecture and Nexenta Systems\u2019 highly resilient ZFS-based NexentaStor, SSD-accelerated storage that eliminates the risk of data loss at the foundation of the cloud is finally affordable.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to accelerate the transformation of your virtualized infrastructure into an internal cloud, these solutions provide all the basic building blocks, already pre-integrated for you. They include the automation solutions for deployment, management, and monitoring; the unified virtual infrastructure; and even the self-service portal for deployment requests,\u201d wrote Forrester Research, Inc. Vice President and Principal Analyst Richard Fichera1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

“Using OpenStack with proprietary storage makes no sense; why use an open approach to the cloud and then hand your data off to a proprietary vendor?\u201d said Nexenta CEO Evan Powell. \u201cMorphlabs has done a great service for their customers and the OpenStack community by launching an end-to-end engineered solution that leverages the best of open infrastructure. We\u2019re proud that Morphlabs selected our ZFS-based and SSD-accelerated NexentaStor as the foundation of their mCloud Rack E and look forward to working closely with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

A trial of the mCloud platform is available for a limited time at http:\/\/www.morphlabs.com\/evaluatessd\/.<\/p>\n
