Powered by Oracle's latest generation SPARC hardware platform, CloudSigma brings its flexible infrastructure-as-a-service approach to Solaris and the heart of enterprise computing.
CloudSigma has announced the launch of a SPARC and Oracle Solaris-driven infrastructure-as-a-service offering leveraging Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones. Bringing the power of Oracle Solaris to its cloud platform makes CloudSigma one of the first major public clouds to support Oracle Solaris natively on SPARC. Oracle Solaris supports more than 11,000 third-party enterprise applications across a wide range of industries and was engineered specifically for cloud environments. Now, with CloudSigma's new service, customers can benefit from Oracle Solaris' advanced security, compliance, efficiency, scalability and performance in a public cloud, offering on-demand capacity elasticity, a high degree of control and unprecedented flexibility.
"We've been excited to see the recent developments in the Oracle Solaris offering and have worked closely with Oracle to demonstrate the unique power of this platform for the enterprise," said Robert Jenkins, CloudSigma CEO. "This new service will allow customers to engage with a SPARC - Oracle Solaris environment in new ways, as well as bring the benefits of the cloud paradigm to existing Oracle Solaris based workloads. We are fully committed to supporting the full range of customer computing requirements in the cloud and Oracle Solaris is an important part of that. After all, why should enterprises have to change their infrastructure or preferred operating system when they move to a public cloud? CloudSigma eliminates the restrictions other cloud providers impose and allows users to fully design and customize their cloud deployments. We offer a true virtual data center."
