Piston Cloud Computing, Inc.
Piston OpenStack (version 3.0)
| Winner -- Cloud Solutions | |
| What Makes This Product Innovative | Piston OpenStack turnkey software automates the orchestration of an entire private cloud environment on x86 servers and requires little to no operations support. Going from bare-metal to a fully operational OpenStack-based private cloud less than a day, Piston requires no other software and does not require per-server installation. Delivering compute, storage, networking, and management through self-service interfaces and APIs, Piston OpenStack software includes a hyper-converged hardware architecture, a highly-secure stateless Micro-OS, and advanced cluster management. Piston OpenStack also provides elastic scaling of resources and fault tolerance out-of-the-box, keeping infrastructure running by automatically rebalancing resources and restarting tasks that have failed. |
