IndependenceIT has announced Cloud Workspace® Suite 5.0. Highlights of the latest generation software include automated cross platform software defined data center deployments and management; orchestration and workflow automation for third-party Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) platforms; support for Azure Active Directory-as-a-Service across public/private/hybrid clouds, and hyper-scalable application services for the delivery of application workloads.
Technology buyers continue to gravitate toward WaaS solutions to increase business agility and lower costs. However, many challenges still remain with the majority of solutions on the market. Most of the available products are not built for cloud infrastructure, making it difficult or impossible to operate in cross-platform environments. As a result, large capital investments must be made by IT service providers on infrastructure to support distributed deployments. Because the majority of options are extremely complex, there is a steep learning curve that reduces time to deployment and revenue for WaaS providers. Additionally, the fragmented management of infrastructure, hypervisor, OS, application, master image, Active Directory, and end-user environments add extra layers of complexity and risk.
Cloud Workspace Suite 5.0 is a powerful new solution that addresses these challenges and goes much further to support IT service providers at all levels with specific enhancements designed for cross platform software defined data center deployment and management, software defined networking, WaaS and application workload delivery for a vast range of deployment scenarios. The new software has been given a complete user interface / user experience (UI/UX) re-write. In addition to the UI/UX refresh, the updated interface also provides a new layout, enhanced workflows and functionality, new menu structure and iconography, all of which produces an enhanced, faster experience.
Cloud Workspace Suite 5.0 Enhancements Include:
- Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) Automated Deployment - Deploy Cloud Workspace Suite across one or more virtualization platforms or cloud infrastructures, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Openstack, VMware vSphere / vCloud Director, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer. IndependenceIT's patented global control plane allows cross-platform manageability with functionality and oversight over each Workspace as a Service (WaaS) layer;
- Azure Active Directory-as-a-Service or private cloud Integration / management - A foundational building block of multi-node and multi-vendor distributed SDDCs;
- Introduction of Cloud Workspace Suite App Services - Hyper-scalable application services to any number of organizations, divisions or users globally. This is an advanced capability for service providers and independent software vendors (ISV) looking to deploy, manage and support application workloads in the most efficient model whether public, private, or hybrid cloud deployments all managed from Cloud Workspace Suite's global control plane;
- Resource Scheduling - Customer-specific resource scheduling and dynamic service reduction/shut down based on service level agreements (SLAs);
- Live Server Scaling - Automatic, intelligent scaling of server resources up or down as workloads vary, and
- Complete User Interface / User Experience Upgrade - Enhancements include simplified menu structure and an increased number of task-based workflows for administrators, including the creation of software-defined data centers.
"Version 5.0 allows us to use Azure Active Directory-as-a-Service to expand the boundaries of the software defined data center with a logical overlay for central management of multiple instances of Cloud Workspace Suite across one or more public/private/hybrid cloud platforms," said Billy Forte, CEO, CloudTitan. "This will greatly simplify the management of distributed deployments and afford compliant installations across international borders where regional data must be hosted in localities under restrictive mandates."
