Platform Computing Launches Starter Pack for Private Cloud
Platform Computing, a provider of cluster, grid and cloud-management software, has announced a new entry-level offering for enterprises that want to launch private cloud systems.
In an August 24 press release, Platform announced the availability of the Platform ISF Starter Pack, an out-of-the-box, end-to-end software product and services offering designed to enable companies to quickly set up a private cloud. Platform Computing officials say the new ISF Starter Pack provides a low-risk, low-cost way to evaluate private clouds, allowing architects and IT managers to get a cloud sandbox environment up and running in less than 30 minutes.
For US$4,995, the Platform ISF Starter Pack includes a one-year Platform ISF license for 10 sockets, consulting, training and support, Platform officials said.
