CloudController® Freemium Edition Enters the IBM Cloud Marketplace

AMSTERDAM - July 15, 2015 - PRLog -- InContinuum Software today announced the entry of CloudController® Freemium Edition into the IBM Cloud marketplace. This new milestone in the partnership with IBM brings the power of CloudController® to IBM clients of all sizes, allowing them to easily and quickly integrate the management and control of the data center assets running in their SoftLayer environment with those of their Private Cloud environment(s). When building a unified hybrid cloud infrastructure they can now provide IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, AaaS, DaaS or STaaS services that are easily ordered through Cloud Service Brokering functionalities from a single service catalog, using a single cloud automation platform.

CloudController® Freemium Edition
CloudController® was built from the ground-up to easily set-up Cloud services with an agnostic approach – hypervisors and Public Clouds. This hybrid cloud management platform has been designed and developed to automate all aspects of creating and managing a cloud. The design, configuration, ordering, payment, chargeback, provisioning, deployment, management, auditing and reporting for cloud-based managed services are treated as one continuous process. CloudController® has been conceived with self-service precepts in mind to deliver Anything-as-a-Managed Service (XaaS) without any human intervention.

The CloudController® Freemium Edition gives SMBs, Enterprises and Cloud Service Providers of any size the opportunity to benefit from any type of Cloud infrastructure. Using the Freemium Edition, customers can orchestrate up to 10 VMs free of charge. They benefit by having the ability to try the full solution before moving to a paid edition that better fits their actual Cloud needs. Both the CloudController® Enterprise Edition or Pay-As-You-Grow Edition can manage thousands of VMs.

With CloudController®, IBM Cloud resources become a seamless extension of the private on premise infrastructure. Other public cloud resources can be integrated too. This global data center blueprint is easily managed, and fully-automated – allowing service users to enjoy the benefits of a world-class public cloud platform without suffering the integration problems usually associated with hybrid cloud computing.

“Last year we brought the power of CloudController® to the IBM Cloud ecosystem in a big way. IBM Cloud has been tightly integrated to the CloudController® technical and business workflows. IBM customers can now fully automate the creation, deployment and management of their SoftLayer virtual and bare metal servers with the same ease as they manage their on premise assets.” said Phillip Hyde, CEO of InContinuum Software. “The inclusion of CloudController® Freemium Edition to the IBM Cloud marketplace allows IBM customers to test drive the full functionality of the solution in their IBM Cloud or hybrid clouds. We look forward to growing with IBM and their customers.” added Hyde.
