SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/25/12 -- RackWare officially entered the cloud infrastructure market today with the release of the RackWare Management Module (RMM) 2.0, software that enables users to economically build and easily leverage any type of cloud (public, private or hybrid) without requiring application or operational changes. This next-generation RMM provides the automated intelligence necessary to deliver significant time and cost savings for enterprise IT and much greater availability for enterprise IT users.

RackWare enables enterprises to get the highest performing cloud for their applications today and throughout the entire application lifecycle. With RackWare's easy-to-use cloud management software, enterprises can easily create cloud environments with the mobility and elasticity needed to power cloud solutions that then deliver low-cost, flexible, agile resources. RMM 2.0 now includes unique automation and intelligent layers that deliver the right resources to applications at the right time, resulting in a simple, cost-effective, on-demand enterprise cloud.

"Today's enterprise IT organizations need solutions that allow them to immediately benefit from deploying applications in the cloud within their current environment. The RackWare Management Module does just that," said Sash Sunkara, founder and chief executive officer of RackWare. "With RMM 2.0, users can take full advantage of the cloud without compromising their current investment in infrastructure and applications. And, once RMM is in place, it is easy to expand use of the cloud to increase cost savings to the business through greater availability and flexibility for application developers and users."

Mobility - utilizing cloud for existing environments
With an influx of new public and private cloud stacks built on different technologies, many companies are facing serious and expensive vendor lock-in issues. RackWare frees users from vendor lock-in by supporting any type of virtual, cloud or physical infrastructure, without requiring changes to existing applications. This mobility gives users the broadest set of choices and best performance at the lowest cost when selecting their cloud options. In addition, a new solution for Client On-Boarding provides a push button, automated mechanism to move existing workloads between different datacenters and clouds.

Elasticity - delivering significant savings for the end cloud customer
RackWare also delivers compute flexibility and scalability on demand to achieve faster time to application production, savings in infrastructure and personnel, and enterprise-level availability and reliability for the business. With RMM, computing resources -- physical, virtual and cloud machines -- can be easily and automatically scaled up or down as demand fluctuates. There are three primary components to RMM's elasticity which are also being announced today:

AutoScaling: RMM delivers automatic scaling for both private and public clouds as well as for datacenters based on real-time usage, load and performance.

AutoParking: The RMM Policy Engine supports schedule-based AutoParking, which can be applied to hosts or group of hosts with a high degree of scheduling flexibility and detail.

Cloud Bursting: RMM scales across one or many heterogeneous clouds so core applications and infrastructure stay in the datacenter and have peak usage demands met in the cloud.

Combining both mobility and elasticity, the new RMM Disaster Recovery in the Cloud is an easy to use, economical solution that provides significantly improved support over traditional tape backup at a cost that is small fraction of maintaining a replicated datacenter.

"The discovery and intelligence components of RackWare's technology enable Enterprise IT providers to understand where things are and where they should go, so that applications receive the right amount of resources at the right time," said Mark Peterson, chief operating officer at Farallon Research. "RackWare fills key gaps that enable Enterprises datacenters to see meaningful cost savings while still getting the Enterprise-level availability and reliability that they need to deliver to their users."

"The new RackWare Management Module technology has taken policy-based load balancing and built-in intelligence to a new level by making it available cloud-wide. The ability to automatically increase and decrease resources as needed during peak periods and off hours in a public or private cloud brings a new level of resource efficiency to the data center," said Leah Schoeb, senior partner at Evaluator Group.
