FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mezeo Software Announces Hexagrid as a Mezeo Ready Technology Partner at Cloud Expo 2010
Mezeo and Hexagrid provide industry’s first rapidly deployable solution to span computing and storage clouds
CLOUD EXPO 2010, Santa Clara, CA., November 1, 2010 – Mezeo Software (www.mezeo.com), the leading provider of a deployable cloud storage platform, today announced Hexagrid (www.hexagrid.com), a leading developer of enterprise IT infrastructure software solutions, as a Mezeo Ready Technology Partner. The Mezeo and Hexagrid solution provides a feature-rich, low cost solution for organizations looking to implement a compute cloud with a private or public storage cloud.
Combined with the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform, the Hexagrid solution provides a deployable cloud infrastructure that enables enterprises and service providers to instantly improve performance and realize cost savings by allocating services just-in-time. Hexagrid’s VxDatacenter suite allows commodity hardware to be managed as a high availability, high performance, multi-tenant cloud infrastructure; enabling the automatic scaling of compute resources.
“We believe that cloud storage should be part of the overall cloud computing strategy, so we have made it part of the virtual appliance deployment process,” said Suresh Mandava, Hexagrid Founder and CEO. “The market is demanding more for less. Service providers and enterprises are looking for end-to-end solutions. Our solution enables service providers standing up a Mezeo-enabled storage cloud to provide enterprise-class storage at a commodity price, and it allows enterprises standing up a private Mezeo-enabled storage cloud to better manage unused hardware resources and reduce CAPEX.”
“Hexagrid understands the service provider business model, and offers a unique solution that enables our Mezeo Ready service providers to offer an integrated cloud compute/cloud storage offering quickly and affordably,” said Steve Lesem, Mezeo President and CEO. “The Mezeo and Hexagrid solution is a compelling offering for service provider or enterprise customers looking for feature-rich solutions at a competitive price.”
Launched in June 2010, the Mezeo Ready Program provides an ecosystem for service providers, developers, cloud gateway providers and technology partners to rapidly demonstrate their value and operability with providers of Mezeo-based cloud storage.
With Mezeo, enterprises can implement a secure private cloud and IT service providers can rapidly monetize a branded cloud storage service offering. Mezeo features end-to-end encryption, advanced file sharing, content tagging and access anywhere with white label Web 2.0, native Windows® desktop, iPhone, and BlackBerry® clients. Mezeo is easy to deploy, multi-tenant, highly scalable, secure, and extensible with REST Web Services APIs.
