Virtustream: Delivering True Enterprise Cloud Computing

In today’s global marketplace, nearly every business decision is also an IT decision. But IT organizations are struggling to find the right balance between maintaining mission-critical systems and implementing new innovation for the business. They need a way to improve the performance of existing applications, reduce overall IT costs, and gain a level of flexibility that can help differentiate their products and services.

Most cloud computing offerings in the market today are only focused on low-cost, best-effort delivery. For many enterprise IT environments, this is not acceptable for the majority of their business-critical applications.

This is where Virtustream comes into the picture. Virtustream was co-founded in 2009 by Rodney. J. Rogers, current Chairman and CEO and Kevin Reid, current CEO and CTO of the company. The Bethesda headquartered company’s flagship product xStreamTM is the only cloud management software that delivers true enterprise class cloud computing. Available as a private Cloud, virtual private cloud or public cloud, xStream supports complex heterogeneous enterprise IT environments and multiple business models for cloud service providers. By using patented Micro-VM (μVM) technology, xStream is able to deliver application-level performance SLAs for both traditional and web-scale applications. μVM provides a single, unified metric for IT organizations to measure their usage of Cloud Computing resources, allowing businesses to pay for IT services on a truly consumption basis.

Enterprise Security and Migrating to the Cloud

While all businesses are looking for greater flexibility from their IT investments, concern about cloud computing security continues to be a critical factor when looking for ways to solve business challenges. Alongside, too often, business critical applications remain costly and stagnant because they do not appear to have a technology path forward. Virtustream xStream resolves these concerns by integrating multi-level security and encryption that provides trusted application environments that are continuously monitored and comply with industry and government regulations.
