Hyperscale Data Centres: Scale, Speed & Strategy

Aruba's MultiCloud Link: the solution to all public cloud platforms

95% of companies agree that multi-cloud architecture is now critical for the success of a business, and half of these companies believe that those who do not adopt this approach may be at risk of failure. This is according to VMware's Multi-Cloud Maturity Index, which shows that 'multi-strategies' are more instrumental in the rapid transformation of their business. In this context, Aruba presents its MultiCloud Link service, the private connectivity solution to all public cloud platforms. This proposal allows one or more connections from the infrastructure in colocation, private cloud or dedicated cloud to distributed environments on public cloud platforms (from Amazon Web Services to Microsoft Azure, up to Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud or IBM Cloud). The MultiCloud Link works through an end-to-end architecture: a physical device (router/firewall) within a data centre is connected to a cloud router in a BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) session, through which network routes are exchanged. In the case of a double circuit, it is the BGP that ensures the routing and balancing of traffic, and also determines any fault in a route. The MultiCloud Link is available in various bandwidths, up to 1Gbps, with the possibility of creating a 10Gbps link dedicated to the customer; the service can be adapted according to many needs and can also be used in managed mode, thanks to the skills of Aruba’s enterprise division’s team of solution architects and technical experts. In addition to its speed and competitive price, the main advantages of the new solution include security, since the connection is direct and private to the public clouds, without passing through the internet - and performance, since latency is certain, fundamental for mission critical applications. In addition to the main use cases of the MultiCloud Link highlight, it is also important to mention both colocation interconnection, which allows the colocation infrastructures hosted within the Aruba Data Centres to connect with the hyperscalers, and VM management, through which it is possible to manage the virtual machines distributed on various public cloud environments. In addition, the workload management, thanks to which the infrastructures that rely on the Aruba cloud can distribute the workloads in various environments; the DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) solutions and the Cloud Backup, which allows data distributed on public cloud infrastructures to be replicated in view of data sovereignty; the MultiCloud application, which allows the integration of the applications distributed on various public clouds; the peering between the hyperscalers, which favours the activation of interconnections with the hyperscalers in total security.  "One of the cornerstones of Aruba's cloud strategy is interoperability, i.e. the ability to make infrastructures - cloud, in this case - talk through common communication protocols and underlying technological standards," comments Massimo Bandinelli, Marketing Manager of Aruba Cloud. "The data centre and in this specific case the MultiCloud Link, a fundamental element of the Aruba cloud roadmap, enable this principle, thus allowing companies to simultaneously manage, in a multi-cloud perspective, workloads distributed on different public clouds, on the Aruba platform, on-premises or in the edge, and therefore address any needs of compliance, territoriality, latency, scalability."

Vultr expands global footprint with new data centre location

Vultr has announced the latest expansion of its global footprint in Tel Aviv, Israel, to provide democratised access to cloud infrastructure to the growing technology ecosystem in the country. With the addition of Tel Aviv and its new location in Manchester, England, Vultr is continuing its cadence of global expansion by moving closer to eclipsing the data centre availability offered by the big three hyperscale cloud providers. The Tel Aviv data centre location puts Vultr on the map in Israel, where AWS and Azure have yet to establish availability zones. Vultr offers full-stack infrastructure in both Tel Aviv and Manchester, including cloud and GPU compute, Kubernetes clusters, managed databases, storage-as-a-service, and more. Establishing access to infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) in Israel is the latest advance in Vultr’s quest to provide full-stack infrastructure services in geographic regions underserved by the hyperscale cloud providers and democratise access to affordable cloud services for all organisations. Vultr’s availability in Tel Aviv now means that organisations with operations in Israel can access cloud compute infrastructure and services domestically to work locally and collaborate globally while maintaining data compliance and minimising costly data transfer fees. The same applies to Vultr’s Manchester data centre location, which complements Vultr’s presence in London and fortifies Vultr’s already-solid position in the UK and beyond. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, BBT.live uses Vultr for compute instances with its secured network connectivity solution, BeBroadband, enabling service providers to offer uncomplicated connectivity to their startup and enterprise customers around the world. “Vultr's adaptable model and exceptional engagement allow us to set up our Points of Presence (PoPs) on demand and deliver our services within a matter of hours rather than weeks to expand our business to new geographies rapidly,” says Erez Zelikovitz, EVP, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Product Officer at BBT.live. “We are delighted that Vultr is available at a Tel Aviv data centre, close to our headquarters, which complements our already extensive list of locations across North America, Europe, and Asia where BeBroadband-Cloud PoPs are hosted.” “By bringing affordable, enterprise-grade cloud services to organisations around the world, Vultr is levelling the playing field for businesses striving to introduce breakthrough innovation in startup nations like Israel,” says J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr’s parent company, Constant. “Vultr is breaking the big three hyperscalers’ stranglehold on customers in need of cloud infrastructure, who must endure the lock-in and exorbitant pricing associated with these inflexible cloud behemoths in exchange for IaaS access that isn’t customised to each organisation’s unique profile of needs.” Technology, digital, and cyber security startups, alongside established enterprises in the country, now need high-performance cloud resources. Vultr is stepping into the market to provide access to flexible cloud resources - spanning from bare metal options to GPU compute available on demand. Vultr ensures that access to these valuable resources isn’t limited to just the tech giants. Businesses looking to power generative AI solutions like ChatGPT or run other compute-intensive applications can now leverage the flexibility and cost-saving advantages Vultr brings to an ever-growing number of data centre locations. Vultr will host two events in Tel Aviv for the launch of its availability in Israel. A media breakfast briefing at The Norman Hotel on 16 May, from 9:30-10:30 am IST, and The industry event, Cloud as You Are, at Pop & Pope on 16 May, from 6:00- 8:00 pm IST.
