Big data! Cloud storage! Aren’t they the most commonly heard terms in the IT industry right now?  Kodiak can be the solution to this with its newly brought technology called MemCloud, it fosters the hosting of cloud storage both private as well as public.

What makes it so interesting? This is the company’s first memory-speed cloud infrastructure solution for big data scientists and software developers, providing big data analytic clusters at up to one-fifth the cost and five times the performance of typical leading cloud hosting services.  The technology is built on Virtual Cluster Infrastructure (VCI) platform, the only solution capable of in-software provisioning of compute, networking, storage and data at the cluster level within minutes.

MemCloud is available as a hosted cloud service, as well as a compact on-premise appliance for private clouds – an industry first offering.  Both the hosted and on-premise versions of MemCloud are currently live at various Kodiak Data customer sites.

Kodiak Data is a leading cluster virtualization technology company that allows customers to easily deploy and scale big data infrastructure in both public and private clouds. With its new MemCloud technology it makes use of the VCI technology to  create  within minutes, code-ready virtual clusters that run at memory-speed and scale to the needs of big data applications. Another interesting feature is the data portability for entire big data clusters in the cloud quickly and cost effectively. VCI also allows MemCloud to deliver the Big Data analytic clusters in the cloud quickly and cost-effectively.
