Virtustream says that its enterprise class cloud solution, xStream, has been shortlisted for Datacentre Software Product of the Year in the DCS Awards.
The Datacentre Software Product of the Year award recognises a product that has had a significant impact on the market and its customers. The category identifies the innovative aspects of the software and the major differentiators that make it stand out from its immediate competitors.
Emphasising enterprise-grade security and performance SLAs, xStream 2.0 is designed to support the highest compliance frameworks including healthcare (HIPPA), e-commerce (PCI), government (FISMA, G-cloud) and defence (DIACAP, NIST800-53). It is available as private cloud management software for existing enterprise IT, as a managed IAAS cloud service from the Virtustream cloud and as white-label cloud solutions for Service Providers. xStream delivers significant cost-savings and performance efficiency beyond traditional virtualised environments, in addition to cloud economics and business agility benefits.
Uniquely in the market, xStream uses innovative and patented Virtustream µVMTM technology, which manages private, public and hybrid clouds while delivering enterprise-grade security/compliance, multi-tenant efficiency, application performance SLAs, and consumption-based billing for both legacy and web-scale applications.
Businesses are recognising the many benefits offered by Virtustream’s solution. Following its acquisition by Domino Sugar, Tate & Lyle Sugars implemented the hybrid cloud platform xStream to migrate its full IT application landscape to the cloud. The adoption of xStream accelerated the integration period post-acquisition. Tate & Lyle is just one of many companies to have chosen Virtustream to deliver their cloud needs.
Commenting on making the shortlist, Simon Aspinall, chief vertical markets said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted for this award, which recognizes our xStream cloud solution and µVM™ (Micro-VM) technology which are making a huge difference for our customers, giving them greater IT flexibility and operational efficiency, setting us apart from our competitors.”
The DCS awards reward the products, projects and services as well as honour companies and teams operating in the datacentre arena. Franziska Priebe, marketing manager of award organisers Angel Business Communications, said: "This year we have had a significant increase in the overall number of nominations. It was a tough decision for the judges but Virtustream's entry clearly stood out with its xStream 2.X cloud solution. Therefore, I'm happy to confirm that Virtustream is shortlisted in the 'Datacentre Software Product of the Year' category. With voting open until 9th of May, it is down to the industry to decide if Virtustream can stand out now from the shortlist and be a clear winner in this category."
