Nimbula Director is an ideal product for many private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructure solutions. Check out the details on specific solution areas to learn more about what problems Nimbula can solve with our technology including joint partner solutions in our growing ecosystem.

Enterprise and Government

Building a Cloud for Application Development and Hosting

Customer Problem:
Before Nimbula Director, EPAM’s development, testing and deployment were all at the customer site. This was too intensive on the customer and had negative impact on project schedules. EPAM needed a system that would enable them to deliver their "Solution as a Service", which includes all phases of the application life cycle, including development and testing, implementation and production hosting on EPAM’s infrastructure.

DevOps

Customer Problem:
Enterprises that create and deliver their own internal software need to iterate more quickly to bring new ideas to reality to drive their businesses forward. This translates to a need for far greater IT elasticity, quick turn-around on development, testing, and deployment activity with a cost lower than that of traditional virtualization solutions.

Private Cloud for High Performance Computing (HPC) Applications

Customer Problem:
Solers Inc. is an information technology solutions provider for partners in the U.S. Government. They needed to deploy complex applications, such as High Performance Computing (HPC) applications. Deployments took about eight month and had many redundancies. They built a private cloud with Nimbula Director, to roll out new HPC applications faster and more efficiently. Deployment time dropped to five month, a 40% saving time.

Next-gen application hosting

Customer Problem:
Enterprises running modern cloud-ready applications, whether developed internally or by software vendors, but that need the security and control that traditional datacenters provide, need a more elastic and responsive IT – one that behaves like a cloud but is safely behind the firewall.

Controlled use of public clouds

Customer Problem:
Enterprise IT users, tired of waiting for resources have been, with increasing frequency, bypassing IT and using external public clouds such as Amazon’s EC2 with all the security and compliance risk implied. Enterprise IT needs to govern and audit this usage more closely and regain its status as an enabler of new tools rather than an inhibitor to progress.

Internal compute clouds

Customer Problem:
Financial service firms, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and media companies, educational institutions, research facilities, and government agencies need to balance the dynamic needs of elastic compute farms with the equally dynamic need to run more traditional IT applications for lines of business. In these times of economic uncertainty, this balance needs to be achieved without massive overprovisioning of datacenter resources.

Reducing your Amazon EC2 bill

Customer Problem:
As an enterprise, small/medium-sized business, or start-up, you commonly use public clouds such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) because of the ease and speed to get new infrastructure without initial capital expenditure. However as your business grows, you soon realize the costs incurred in the public cloud continue to increase over time as your application resource demands grow. Also IO performance is simply unpredictable! You need a solution that offers the same ease and simplicity of Amazon EC2, keeps up with the growing needs of the applications, and provides a controllable, predictable cost structure. Its time to move to your very own private or hybrid cloud environment! Bring some of your workloads in-house with Nimbula Director to enjoy lower opex costs while still being able to leverage a public cloud’s elasticity for bursts when needed.

Service Providers

IaaS hosting

Customer Problem:
Service providers looking to deliver modern self-service clouds to their customers need an infrastructure provider that delivers the highest levels of scale, automation, reliability, elasticity, operational efficiency, security, multi-tenancy, and of course self-serviceability. This is the only way to modernize their businesses and compete with the current public cloud hosting leaders and build profitable new hosting businesses.

SaaS application hosting

Customer Problem:
SaaS companies delivering scale-out, resilient cloud-ready applications, need extremely scalable yet cost effective infrastructure for deploying their services as the cost of public cloud becomes prohibitive as their demand for resource consumption grows. SaaS companies need an elastic and responsive cloud infrastructure – one that behaves like a public cloud but is in their own datacenter using their own dedicated resources that only need to be paid for once. However, for variable, seasonal, or unexpected needs, SaaS companies need to be able to leverage public clouds immediately and without friction, so that the private infrastructure does not need to be wastefully scaled to maximum service needs with significant parts of the infrastructure sitting idle when not required.

Community clouds

Customer Problem:
Many businesses, educational facilities, governments, and research institutions need to collaborate either with other organizations of their own kind or with completely different organizations. As examples, two universities may be collaborating on a joint research endeavor, a software company may be outsourcing development to a contractor, two or more government agencies might be sharing sensitive data with each other, or an enterprise in a regulated industry might need to open up to an external auditor or regulatory agency.

PaaS Infrastructure With VMware Cloud Foundry

Customer Problem:
Many new web-scale software products are being written to PaaS platforms so that developers can simply worry about their code and data while safely ignoring the details of underlying operating systems and virtual machines. VMware Cloud Foundry is a new and increasingly popular open source PaaS implementation that delivers an efficient way to develop and run applications getting them up quickly, providing application HA, auto-scaling and multi-tenancy support inside the application. However, for Cloud Foundry to be deployed as a production PaaS, it needs a scalable, elastic and reliable multi-tenant infrastructure that can keep up with its demands as the number of end users grow over time.
