Mirantis releases Mirantis Flow

Mirantis, the open cloud company, has announced Mirantis Flow, a vendoragnostic, cloud-native data centre-asa-service aimed at businesses currently using costly, lock-in cloud infrastructure technology. It aims to modernise infrastructure while enabling both virtualisation and containerisation for all application types. Mirantis Flow also simplifies on-boarding for businesses just beginning their cloud journey.

The company said that Flow takes just about five days to deploy and run a centrally managed, scalable cloud infrastructure providing virtualisation and containerisation in the data centre, on public cloud and out to the edge.

Adrian Ionel, CEO and co-founder of Mirantis, said, “As more businesses pursue digital transformation, enterprise data centres are challenged to deliver a true cloud experience to their users while also reducing costs. Until now, cloud-native was sold and marketed as piece parts for enterprises to assemble. Mirantis has already helped hundreds of today’s tech savvy companies, including Booking.com, Reliance Jio, and Societe Generale, implement an open source, cloud-native approach to infrastructure.”

Mirantis Flow replaces legacy infrastructure software with modern open source software built with cloudnative architecture. According to the company, it reduces required hardware by 50 per cent or more. It uses open source software defined storage and networking, increases automation and frees up staff from routine administration work.

The company said, “Mirantis

Flow integrates many open source technologies in a flexible way and packages those as a subscription service. Flow can utilise existing computing hardware and includes Mirantis Container Cloud for providing deployment and life cycle management of Kubernetes cluster across multiple infrastructure platforms.”
