Most companies have existing servers and more than 90% of them use public Cloud services in one way or another. Current generation public clouds are closed centralized systems that don’t allow 3^rd party hardware. It means that most companies have 2 incompatible environments: “on premise” and “public cloud”. There are various integration solutions, but most will only introduce an additional layer of complexity. As a result, Gartner claims that “Nearly 75 percent of enterprises are pursuing a hybrid cloud computing strategy.”

Subarray believes the proper solution is not to integrate “on premise” and “public cloud” with additional software, but rather offer ONE hybrid, by design, cloud. No integration required, no software or hardware to buy, just download generated per customer boot images and turn your existing servers into a Hybrid Cloud.

Gen2 Hybrid Cloud by Subarray, key highlights:

• Reuse existing servers and reduce cloud costs by 10x or more
• No software or hardware to buy
• Simple structure
• Simple Pricing
• 100% Preconfigured virtual data center
• Hybrid Cloud in Minutes

Gen2 Hybrid Cloud incorporates new and simple architecture with a structure reduced to a single unit, compared to the current 80+ instance types used by leading public cloud providers. Subarray also offers one generic tool to deploy single servers, clusters, and server groups. Operating systems, middleware and various cloud applications are all deployed using the same user interface.

In addition to command line and REST API, Gen2 Hybrid Cloud offers a user-friendly touchscreen management console, with a graphic representation of the client’s virtual data center. This makes it way easier and comfortable to use, including in it a good background color texture that which is not too light.

The website is simple to use since it contains only key features strategically placed to reduce straining by the user. The pictures used are also simple and relevant to the content. This, as you may realize is not always the case in other cloud websites. All thanks to the dedication of Subarray management.

To add on to that, it guarantees efficient configuration and erases the worry brought by such. Since our major product is data center, it is usually provided to every client at the beginning with the router, Virtual Private Network (VPN), Domain Name System (DNS), the router and the Gateway predesigned in all datacenters. This now ensures the user has all that is needed to start off and, adding to its infinite list of advantages. Generally, it saves time that could have been wasted on designing a data center and also the cost of hiring an Information Technology (IT) expert.

Subarray has an extra feature that enables the creation of server groups. This makes it easy to manage a group of virtual servers in a replica of a single server. Features such as cloning, editing, deleting, starting and stopping, importing and exporting are all taken care of in a click, just as is in single servers. This proves efficient and comes in handy in running of intricate apps on various servers. It also allows room for the creation of a personal server whenever needed or even a collection of prototypes for much more freedom.

In retrospect, multiples and a wide range of packages and services are reduced to a very simple device for installing software. Most of the work is executed by the templates including, operating systems, and unit servers, a cluster, a High Availability (HA) setup and much more. This is either done by just selecting it from the preinstalled or creating a fresh one instantly.

This piece helps shed light on Subarray and cloud technology in general, and its effects felt in most places across the globe! It’s definitely worth a look at.
