OnApp v3.0 Dashboard
OnApp’s Cloud v3.0 includes:
- OnApp Storage: An enterprise-class SAN specifically designed for cloud environments
- OnApp CDN: An integrated global CDN with new support for VOD and live streaming
- New support for VMware clouds
- Ease for service providers to build a successful global cloud business using the highly automated VM management, DNS, load balancing, autoscaling, failover, firewalls, billing, user management, and other core cloud management functions.
- Built-in, high-performance SAN enabling cloud providers to pool the capacity of SATA and SSD disks in their hypervisor servers to create fast, reliable, cost-effective storage for cloud services. It also provides intuitive control of striping and redundancy, supports multiple tiers of storage, over-commit, and other key functionality for service providers. It also includes OnApp’s VM-aware technology, which removes performance bottlenecks by ensuring that data resides on the same server as the application that needs it.
- VMware support: Cloud providers can manage clouds running on VMware vSphere 5, as well as those built on open source virtualization platforms such as Xen and KVM. This system gives providers more control over billing and user management, a more intuitive control panel, and reduced licensing costs compared to VMware’s vCloud Director, vChargeback, and other tools.
Additional new features of OnApp Cloud v3.0 include several significant enhancements: a redesigned control panel with new wizards for VM provisioning, Cloud Boot, which is a new way for cloud providers to automate the setup and discovery of hypervisor servers which saves up to an hour, and over a hundred other enhancements and improvements.
