MEET THE mCLOUD HELIX:
CONVERGED & POWERFUL

What it is: A highly-optimized SSD-poweredOpenStack private cloud appliance leveraging Dell’s most power-dense and energy-efficient 2U server.What it does:Delivers blazing-fast, high-performance private clouds at a lower cost than with any other public or private cloud solution.

Need more dedicated computing or storage?No problem. mCloud Helix units are easily extensible.Want even greater fault tolerance?Deploy the mCloud Double Helix, which employs a redundant, load-balanced node configuration. 

 

10 Reasons to Choose the mCloud Helix

• It’s converged. The mCloud Helix uses fully-tested, pre-integrated hardware and software components from industry leaders, making your jump to cloud computing easier than ever.
• It’s powered by OpenStack. mCloud’s core technology is built atop OpenStack, the fastest-growing open source project in history.
• It’s blazingly fast. Deploy and launch applications faster–with IOPs gains up to 10x current solutions—and guaranteed quality of service.
• It deploys quickly. The mCloud Helix is a complete turn-key solution. It integrates with on-premise infrastructure behind your firewall—or you can get the mCloud Helix on Demand from one of our Service Providers as a hosted private cloud solution.
• It’s green. The most power-dense, energy-efficient x86-based cloud on the market, the mCloud Helix gives you the greenest cloud in the world – under 10 watts per VM.
• It grows as you grow. Simply scale compute and storage up and down as needed, either by adding modular Compute and Storage Nodes to your mCloud Helix configuration or bursting to hosted resources from an mCloud Provider.
• It’s affordable. The strategically-implemented SSD-accelerated platform now makes SAN-speed durable storage affordable for all IT organizations: a fully integrated cloud solution for around $85,000.
• It’s reliable. The mCloud Helix is enterprise-ready as-is. But for added peace of mind, you can deploy the mCloud Double Helix configuration, which adds fault tolerance and load balancing. And installing the mCloud Helix in your own data center also means you can easily maintain compliance and controls.
• It’s future-proofed. Using open standards means you can migrate existing virtual machines as well as leverage industry innovations as the ecosystem evolves without fear of lock-in.
• It’s great for your whole team. Dynamic Infrastructure Services (DIS) means your development teams can rapidly provision fault-tolerant and scalable dedicated compute resources, and your IT staff can maintain control, consistency and compliance within the environment.
