Virtustream xStream optimises VMware environments

Virtustream’s cloud management software recognised as the first secure hybrid cloud solution available in the market today.

Virtustream says that its cloud management software xStream can now be used to optimise VMware environments for mission-critical applications, enhance security and enable hybrid cloud environments. Virtustream reports that the xStream cloud management software, with its dynamic µVM (micro-VM) abstraction layer, reduces overhead expenditures by up to 40 percent and overall costs (hardware, licensing) by 25-30 percent; the solution also provides service level isolation beyond standard VMware virtualisation.


Virtustream xStream is optimised to deliver performance and availability SLAs for mission-critical applications. In addition, all Virtustream optimisations for VMware can be consumed via public cloud through Virtustream’s IaaS or via private cloud through Virtustream’s xStream Cloud Management software. xStream also provides simplified management of private, public or hybrid cloud environments and has enhanced capabilities that include service catalog, multi-tenancy, multi-site, security, GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) and chargeback features.


“We continue to further enhance and optimise our cloud software offering,” said Simon Aspinall, chief vertical markets, strategy and marketing officer at Virtustream. “Virtustream xStream is the leading platform for supporting production applications, such as ERP, CRM, DB, SCM and BI, in multi-tenant public clouds, and is key to maximising the potential of the software-defined data centre (SDDC).”


Enabling the SDDC is about finding the right balance between cost efficiency, business agility and application enablement. xStream enables optimisation of existing VMware environments up to 25 percent and provides an architectural framework that supports both the software-defined data centre and secure hybrid cloud. The xStream solution allows customers to leverage their existing VMware vSphere investments by reducing additional costs, while providing the performance enhancements needed to run mission-critical applications. Virtustream xStream is unique in the industry because it is the first secure hybrid cloud solution recognised by industry analysts, allowing customers to deploy optimised virtual applications in either a private cloud or public cloud. In addition, it provides advanced security including encryption, two-factor authentication, geo-tagging, Intel® TXT, security monitoring (SIEM), and audit and compliance reporting (GRC), all controlled through a simple operational and user interface.
