Next generation of infrastructure

KYIV, Ukraine - Aug. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Forthscale (http://forthscale.com/index.php) is an infrastructure reliability engineering company. We probably have the best job in the world, having to make sure that all the sites and applications are there for us when we need them. As an engineering company Forthscale is involved with every aspect of infrastructure technology, focusing on the cloud. As a customer oriented body, we make sure that our customers not just enjoy reliable infrastructure but have true partner guiding them in the world of DevOps.

Working with different customers, over the years we had noticed that everybody have practically same issues on their development and operations lifecycles. We started developing Heili (https://www.heilihq.com/) as a modern replacement for Munin monitoring system we were using at a time. Today Heili is in a way an always learning autopilot system for DevOps approach. Every day we are integrating more knowledge and algorithms with additional cloud tools functionality, making sure that it can save as much human time as possible.

We have actually become aware of ProfitBricks (https://www.profitbricks.com/) due to a project we have done on Melanox based Infiniband infrastructure. As you know Infiniband is the top I/O specification and PB, being built purely on Infiniband were experts in the field. So we had started communication with PB R&D engineers, and just a few month later, I had a presentation for a local cloud users forum comparing different IaaS providers. Out of AWS and others, Profitbricks showed top performance and competitive pricing. We just could not ignore them for our customers anymore.

Whether it’s a new Big Data/HPC project, or the migration of your applications and databases to the Cloud – You need to select a Cloud that has what you need – flexibility, a superior price/performance ratio, all while being easier to use. ProfitBricks (https://www.profitbricks.com/why-profitbricks) is a Cloud Computing's price/performance leader and the most flexible Cloud Computing service available today.

Working together with ProfitBricks we are able to deliver top engineering solution with solid technical support and increased availability. Being able to do that in budget concentrated on computing power rather on brand premia makes total solution even sweeter for the end customers. As a technological company it is very important for us to have the right kind of partnership. With ProfitBricks we know we are getting the top infrastructure as a service solution and are able to add our engineering spice on top. For a customer it makes perfect sense to get Israeli cutting edge innovations over German build quality.

Docker (https://www.docker.com/) is an amazing technology. Not every day you see with your own eyes how everything being disrupted and changed. We have adopted Docker as our main delivery platform a while ago and started to lobby adaptation among our customers. Few months ago we became Docker’s partners and will proceed with this great technology acceptance.

With Docker, developers can build any app in any language using any toolchain. “Dockerized” apps are completely portable and can run anywhere - colleagues’ OS X and Windows laptops, QA servers running Ubuntu in the cloud, and production data center VMs running Red Hat.

Our professional services unit makes Docker adaptation as easy and smooth as possible. Our Technology unit integrates Heili with docker technology, allowing next generation of operations tasks automation, infrastructure optimization and incidents management. It is very important for us to support such a leading cornerstone technology and, in my opinion, it is very important for Docker to have applications that make use of it’s full potential.
