Cloud Computing: ZeroStack Takes Small Enterprises From Zero to Their Own Private Cloud
Setting up a private cloud within a small and medium sized company (50 to 1000 users) can be challenging and time-consuming. And that’s exactly the problem that the ZeroStack private-cloud-enabling solution addresses.
The ZeroStack solution includes a 2U appliance that installs into the customer’s data center and comes with a SaaS administration panel. Using the ZeroStack SaaS-based administrative console, an administrator can then install and manage the resources of on-premise machines as a private cloud.
Ajay Gulati, co-founder and CEO of ZeroStack, told CRN that “you start with a converged hardware appliance, give it an IP address and you’re done. It looks like AWS, but you’re going to your own private cloud. We take care of all services: configuring, managing, self-healing. It’s all hidden from the customers. You don’t have to worry about configuring the hypervisor with management software and monitoring tools.”
ZeroStack today announced $16 million in new series B funding from Formation 8, which is a followup to $5.6 million in Series A funding received from Foundation Capital in 2014. ZeroStack has been out of stealth mode since August 2015.
Gulati said that “private clouds are an essential element of many organizations’ IT strategies, but they have been frustrated by the complexity, slow time to value and cost of deploying and running them. ZeroStack was founded on the belief that every enterprise should be able to stand up a private cloud without having to stitch together complex software and hardware or rely on expensive technical teams to run it. A private cloud should be as easy to consume as a public cloud.”
