Key differentiator elements
Cloud in-a-box
Compared to other virtualization
or Cloud solutions on the
market, CBX differentiates itself
for its nature of appliance and
other capabilities
• Improved service availability
• Extension to Microsoft Azure or to a selected Cloud Provider
Availability
• Holistic, integrated, hardware and software monitoring
• Infrastructure backup locally or to a public Cloud
Reliability
• Scale-up adding more nodes within CBX
• Scale-out adding more CBX-E to an existing CBX
Scalability
• Multi-hypervisor management
• Easy migration to CBX from an existing platform
Flexibility
• Build a Cloud through wizards (< 2 hours)
• Integrate a Cloud into your existing infrastructure (< 1 hour)
Simplicity
• Pre-validated solution for Private and Hybrid CloudQuality
