Twinstrata - “Dual Clouds”
At last months (March) cloud meeting a cloud based company called Twinstrata presented their cloud offering called Clarity AP.
Imagine being about to perform ”what if” scenarios during the design phase of your infrastructure. For example design A is going to use all local storage on traditional SAN architecture with vendor XYZ with only one primary network in place. For design B you consider using cloud storage again with one network connection. The Twinstrata product allows you to compare the risk and the costs of each scenario before making the investment.
Twinstrata does their development in the cloud and includes cloud infrastructure profiles for ROI and Risk analysis. A free trial can be downloaded to kick-the-tires on the product or a full enterprise version can be purchased for $500 which seems like a bargain for the architect looking at moving their infrastructure to the cloud.
For more details - listen to the cloudcast and take a look at the slide presentation. Also if you were wondering what Twinstrata means - dual clouds.
