Transitioning to a consistent operating model across cloud and edge environments has become a top priority for infrastructure and DevOps teams. A new Propeller Insights research report notes that 71% of respondents cited a “consistent cloud operational experience between the edge and public\/private clouds” as very important, and a total of 98% cited important or very important. When asked about their top requirements for edge infrastructure and application management, research respondents cited “easily (and cost-effectively) connect to public and private clouds” and “be cloud-native, managed\/operated like a cloud.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What It Is & How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today’s announcement comes in parallel with the launch of VoltStack, VoltMesh and Volterra Console, which together provide a distributed cloud platform for deploying and operating applications and data across multi-cloud and edge environments. It is deployed using three SaaS-based components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- VoltStack<\/strong>\u00a0deploys and manages distributed applications across multiple clouds or edge sites using industry-standard Kubernetes APIs<\/li>
- VoltMesh<\/strong>\u00a0delivers high-performance networking and zero-trust security between multiple clouds and edge sites<\/li>
- Volterra Console<\/strong> is a management console for deploying and operating distributed applications at a global scale with centralized control and observability<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
The Volterra distributed cloud platform can be used across three sets of solutions to enable a wide range of use cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Edge\u00a0cloud<\/strong>\u00a0— edge app management, secure edge gateway<\/li>
- Multi-cloud<\/strong> — multi-cluster secure mesh, secure Kubernetes gateway, multi-cloud app management, app and network services consolidation<\/li>
- Network cloud<\/strong> — application security and acceleration, network edge applications, secure cloud network with DMZ<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
“As a people-first investor, it has been a delight to work with serial entrepreneur Ankur and his team on their bold idea of a platform for the distributed cloud era,” said Navin Chaddha, Managing Director, Mayfield. “They clearly see the challenge that enterprises are facing as they distribute applications across clouds and the edge, and have assembled a team of more than a hundred experts to build the answer. With over thirty customers already in production, we are confident that Volterra will make a major impact on the distributed cloud market.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur Ankur Singla founded Volterra to address the rapidly growing trend of data and applications residing outside corporate data centers. “I’ve worked with the world’s largest service providers and enterprises over the last several years as they evolved their infrastructure to become software-defined,” said Singla, “but now they are being forced to distribute that infrastructure, and the applications using it, across multiple cloud providers and edge locations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
