NetActuate Introduces a New Cloud Platform
In a bid to provide organizations with greater flexibility and control over their infrastructure, NetActuate, a prominent provider of global network and infrastructure services, has unveiled a new and comprehensive cloud platform. This initiative represents a significant step aimed at challenging those companies that have historically dominated the hyperscale cloud market.
Overview of the New Cloud Offerings
The newly launched platform features a full suite of services, including public cloud, private cloud, virtual machines (VMs), managed Kubernetes, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking, and hybrid cloud capabilities. These offerings are designed to facilitate global deployment and scaling of workloads by leveraging NetActuate's extensive distributed infrastructure.
As businesses around the world increasingly adopt cloud technologies, many are now questioning their dependency on major hyperscale providers. Rising operational costs, concerns regarding vendor lock-in, and the demand for enhanced architectural versatility are driving organizations to investigate alternative cloud platforms. NetActuate's approach centers around promoting open standards and predictable pricing to create a more developer-friendly environment.
NetActuate’s architecture is built on a network-first foundation, utilizing one of the largest BGP-peered networks globally, which ensures scalable and high-performance connectivity across key markets worldwide. This robust network framework allows clients to deploy applications closer to users, thereby achieving faster and more reliable performance.
Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate, stated, _“We believe in fitting your infrastructure to your workload, not the other way around. Organizations should have real choice in how they build and operate their infrastructure, and the ability to customize is paramount.”_
This philosophy is reflected in their cloud platform, which merges the flexibility of scalable cloud services with the high performance offered by a globally distributed network. Customers can manage their environments seamlessly from a single API-driven interface, enabling them to architect and deploy everything from expansive public cloud workloads to tailored hybrid settings that incorporate both cloud resources and dedicated infrastructures.
Key Features of NetActuate's Cloud Platform
- - Public Cloud: Offers on-demand infrastructure, facilitating fast deployment and scalability for various workloads.
- - Private Cloud: Provides dedicated environments for organizations requiring added isolation, performance, and control.
- - Virtual Machines (VMs): Supports a flexible array of compute resources for both legacy applications and contemporary architectures.
- - Managed Kubernetes: Simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications through fully managed Kubernetes clusters.
- - Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Features secure and isolated networking that includes load-balancing and configuration rules connecting computing and networking resources.
- - Hybrid Cloud: Integrates both public cloud functionalities with private environments or dedicated hardware for more complex setups.
The underlying infrastructure of this cloud platform is powered by NetActuate’s Open Network Edge (ONE) IaaS solution, designed on open-source principles to minimize vendor lock-in while easing the onboarding process for new customers. This design philosophy ensures that users can effortlessly incorporate NetActuate's capabilities into their existing workflows and maintain the portability of their applications and data.
Additionally, with the recent launch of their global edge storage platform, customers can leverage S3-compatible object storage along with attachable block volumes or tailor-made storage solutions to support their workloads effectively.
This comprehensive lineup of services, coupled with transparent pricing and global infrastructure availability, positions NetActuate as a cost-effective alternative to traditional hyperscale cloud providers.
