Not all providers are the same, but for each, covering the right cloud or edge use case is critical. Some focus on a single vertical while others serve customers in different industries. There are those who bet on Microsoft technologies only and the others who are Linux specialists first. Whichever the case, you need the right tools to deliver what your customers are paying for.
But the more technologies you use, the more difficult it becomes to manage all your contracts efficiently. First, technologies evolve quickly, demanding your staff to be trained constantly. Second, every client has specific needs and it requires a good customer service structure to respond to each of them adequately. Third, as a business owner, all your efforts serve to maintain your company afloat and grow it. This is only possible if you are spending less than you are making revenue.
So, at some point, companies have to make a choice. Will you keep throwing money in costly licenses and training that even your clients don’t want to pay for? Or, will you look for an alternate solution that enables you to unify your offer? Your customer satisfaction will depend on your decision and the sooner you take it, the better it is.
What if I told you Ormuco software can help businesses slash costs and boost profits? I invite you to look at the following different ways our single software stack can help you build a consistent and rich offering.
Edge Use Case #1 – Enabling You for IoT
IoT servers or gateways are either x86 or ARM-built. With our software, you get to create any images for automated deployments. Moreover, we have developed specific features for edge use cases, such as:
- IDP (Identity Provider) responds to the single sign-on needs of IoT scenarios with roaming devices
- Federation Services allow the dynamic creation of virtual resources and ensures unified management of different locations, including cloudlets and data centers
These, with other features, make it an edge computing-ready platform, at the core of IoT deployments.
Edge Use Case #2 – Offering Server Virtualization or Virtual Private Environments
With Ormuco IaaS, you can use commodity to high-end hardware (servers, storage, network equipment) and build your client’s virtual infrastructure. The software offers different options for servers: bare metal, virtual machines or containers. The solution fits for any cloud or edge use case, including public and private offerings.
Edge Use Case #3 – Delivering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Ormuco is an end-to-end platform for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) deployments. Companies can cover any type of edge or cloud use cases with the platform, including Database as a Service (DBaaS). The software will help you manage all your IT infrastructure, in any geographical locations.
Edge Use Case #4 – Creating and Managing Virtual Labs
Our platform makes it possible to virtualize an infrastructure, create or import images, deploy virtual machines, restore snapshots and more. All these simplify the process for the creation and management of labs, and their automation. Do your systems administrators need to explore new cloud or edge use cases? Ormuco is the right tool for that.
Edge Use Case #5 – Containers as a Service
Ormuco offers Container as a Service through the integration of Docker and Kubernetes. Kubernetes clusters can be created from one simplified wizard inside the platform. This covers all needs for containerization, container engine, container networking, container registry and of course container orchestration.
Edge Use Case #6 – Easing Data Center Networking with SDN
Ormuco integrates software-defined network (SDN) capabilities. You can create and manage virtual data networks for your data centers, with virtual routers and load balancers. More cloud or edge use cases are possible with virtual private networks (VPN) to safely interconnect environments. Built-in DDoS protection makes your infrastructure safe.
Edge Use Case #7 – Automation
There is a growing need in automating workloads, especially for edge use cases. With thousands to millions of edge nodes connected, it is not possible to rely on humans to monitor and scale resources. Our auto-scaling feature makes it possible to automatically provision or deprovision storage, CPU, memory and network resources based on the load.
Edge Use Case #8 – Delivering Apps (SaaS) through a DevOps Platform
Our software allows DevOps teams to manage test and production environments, and to deploy MariaDB, MongoDB, MySQL, etc. The platform includes Sonarqube, Gitlab Runner, Gitlab, Jira, and more, to help with your CI/CD process. Do your developers need to explore new cloud or edge use cases? With all these tools, they can start building tailored applications.
Edge Use Case #9 – Covering Infrastructure Automation Scenarios
Our solution is an intelligent orchestrator. It uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to auto-scale systems, detect faults before they occur, and correct them automatically. This is particularly helpful for MSPs who are responsible for several customer infrastructures. They can keep the same head count, bring more clients in, and still deliver outstanding cloud services.
Edge Use Case #10 – Remote Monitoring & Management
With a single deployment of Ormuco, systems administrators can manage and monitor an unlimited number of locations from one console. Switching from what we call a “project” to another is done in 2 clicks without the need to re-authenticate. Our console includes a log view that shows the status of all systems on one screen. This is powerful, especially for providers who do not need to switch from a console to another to manage all their clients sites.
Edge Use Case #11 – Tailored Storage Management
Ormuco allows to virtualize different kinds of storage, including directed-attached storage or network-attached storage. It becomes a tool to create and manage block or object storage elements. One of our partners in Europe is providing enterprises with an intelligent storage service, specific to their market.
