KEMP 360 Cloud Powers High-Performance, Cost-Effective Application Migration to the Cloud
October 2016 by Marc Jacob
KEMP Technologies announces the launch of KEMP 360 Cloud™, a next-generation application delivery framework that helps customers migrate to public and private cloud environments. KEMP 360 Cloud is a subscription-based product and services suite designed to power seamless migration of applications to a cloud operating model. By providing flexible a Metered Enterprise Licensing Agreement (MELA™), KEMP 360 Cloud is the first application delivery model tailor-made for cloud-centric deployment, with scalable, on-demand consumption across unlimited private and public cloud services.
MELA Licensing Breaks the Billing Mould
KEMP 360 Cloud is designed to provide the on-demand cloud elasticity that enterprise application delivery requires. For this reason, the legacy, static approach to licensing that requires enterprises to predict maximum future usage of services and infrastructure and the resulting inefficiencies has been eliminated. KEMP MELA provides simplified metered, usage-based pricing for application delivery services across the enterprise in flexible tiers. Since customers can deploy unlimited ADC instances with no per-instance capacity limits and dynamically pay for what they use, they don’t need to overpay to ensure optimal application response at peak times. And with a predictable OpEx approach, MELA enables enterprises to consume ADC resources the same way as every other cloud application, reducing cost and simplifying ongoing management. Predictive billing and overage protection also prevent unexpected monthly costs, even when utilization exceeds what was planned.
A Complete Cloud Application Delivery Approach
KEMP 360 Cloud’s subscription service provides customers with several integrated applications as well as professional and managed services, designed to deliver a complete solution for cloud migration, performance management and ongoing proactive application operations.
• Virtual LoadMaster (VLM™) is KEMP’s flagship application delivery controller (ADC) optimized for hybrid and public cloud workload use cases. Service portability, consistency of functionality and hybrid interconnect capabilities – including deep integration with Microsoft Azure - enable the VLM to simplify application service migration to the public cloud.
• KEMP 360 Central™ enables centralized management, monitoring and analytics across private and public cloud environments, allowing application owners to access key performance metrics. KEMP 360 Central also enables the migration of published services across different cloud environments in an intuitive UI or via an API. Furthermore, it allows for the assessment of on-premise application delivery services and infrastructure to optimize migration.
• KEMP 360 Vision™ is a managed cloud service that combines application context and infrastructure data, enabling enterprises to automate application incident management processes and be more agile and responsive. By offloading application SLA management to KEMP, customers are able to take advantage of the expertise of more than 40,000 deployments.
• Migration, Professional Services & Support included with KEMP 360 Cloud gives customers peace of mind and equips them with the expertise required for large scale migration of application delivery services to the cloud.
