CloudByte Announces Certified Compatibility with VMware and Citrix
CAMPBELL, California, February 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Service providers and enterprises can now confidently deploy ElastiStor
storage for applications hosted on VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer and deliver
guaranteed storage QoS to each one of them
CloudByte, the first company to guarantee QoS for applications within shared storage,
today announced that its ElastiStor solution has been certified by VMware
[http://blog.cloudbyte.com/?p 2 ] and Citrix [http://blog.cloudbyte.com/?p8 ].
Following rigorous testing on VMware ESXi 5.0/5.1, Citrix XenServer 6.0 and CloudPlatform
2.x and 3.x, these certifications allow service providers and enterprises operating in
these virtualized environments to realize the full benefits of the ElastiStor solution. In
addition, CloudByte has developed a VMware vCenter plugin that enables admins to provision
and manage storage QoS for every VM, right from the vCenter console.

Scaling performance-guaranteeing storage remains a key challenge in the new-age
datacenters. CloudByte ElastiStor [http://www.cloudbyte.com/products_elastistor.aspx ]
overcomes this challenge by delivering QoS to every application right from a shared
storage platform. With ElastiStor, datacenters can now replace dedicated storage islands
with an extensible storage platform, resulting in a steep reduction in storage footprint
and associated costs. Further, ElastiStor simplifies storage management with its on-demand
provisioning, comprehensive management console, REST APIs and plugins. ElastiStor makes
storage predictable, affordable, and easy even as datacenters scale to thousands of
applications.
Benefits for VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer Customers
- QoS-guaranteed virtual machines: Every storage endpoint (LUN) within an
ElastiStor node can be configured in terms of IOPS, throughput and latency. This
allows virtual machines with disparate workloads to be guaranteed QoS right from a
shared storage platform.
- On-demand provisioning: ElastiStor breaks the need for hardwiring storage to
configure a virtual machine's storage performance by intelligently automating node
selection and resource allocation.
- Comprehensive management: Storage admins can now manage the entire storage
cluster, spanning across multiple sites, from a single web-based console. Further,
ElastiStor gives unprecedented access and control over resource usage within shared
storage, right down to the VM-level granularity.
- Easy integration with REST APIs: Every action performed at the ElastiStor
admin console translates into a REST-based API call in the backend, enabling admins to
fully manage ElastiStor right from their existing portals. Our vCenter plugin (also
based on REST APIs) allows admins to provision NFS datastores for virtual machines and
set QoS parameters to them, right from the vCenter console.
- Superior security and reliability: With isolation across all storage stack
levels and optional data encryption, ElastiStor offers complete security for virtual
machines within a shared storage platform. ElastiStor offers N-Way HA, exponentially
increasing uptime or mean-time-to-failure (MTTF), compared to legacy 2-way HA.
"ElastiStor is architected to meet the scalability and performance demands of
virtualized environments and being certified by two leading server virtualization
providers is a logical step forward for us. Our customers can now confidently rely on
ElastiStor interoperability with virtual machines on VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer,"
said Felix Xavier, Founder and CTO, CloudByte.
