Launch of Extility Foundation Edition

Posted on October 2, 2011 by rgamble

With the release of Extility 1.5, we have for the first split Extility into two seperate editions: Foundation Edition and Service Provider Edition. This increases the choice available to our customers, and makes it easier for companies wanting to take their first steps into the cloud.

Why did we build it?

Foundation Edition has been specially designed to enable customers to get going in the cloud as quickly and easily as possible, with all the key functionality they need. You can download Foundation Edition to a DVD, and install it yourself in under an hour. Find out more about this in our One Hour Quickstart guide. For larger customers, or those with more specialised requirements, Service Provider Edition is available.

What does it deliver?

Foundation Edition delivers a fully functional Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud Computing Platform, including virtual and physical machine, network & storage management, customer management and control, and an end-user self service interface. In short, everything you need to get going. It is the first IaaS platform that can deliver a complete solution at the touch of a button.

Who is it for?

Foundation Edition is ideally suited for smaller service providers and corporates wanting to take their first steps into the cloud.

When can I get started?

You can get started right now! Foundation Edition is now available as a free trial you can download. More details on how to get it up and running are available in our One hour kickstart guide.
