云工作负载移动平台 Velostrata 获 1750 万美元 B 轮融资，将生产应用快速迁移到公共云
云工作负载移动平台 Velostrata 宣布完成 1750万美元 B 轮融资，由战略投资机构英特尔投资领投，现有投资者 Norwest Venture Partners 和 83 North 跟投。公司计划利用这笔资金加速公司扩张，尤其是促进中到大型企业市场的业务增长。
Velostrata 创立于2014年，总部位于加利福尼亚州，致力于为用户提供软件平台，帮助用户应用同时包含有公共云和私有云的混合云战略，从而能够简单而快速地将生产应用迁移到公共云，并具有高性价比和低风险的特点。公司目前正在申请的一项专利技术，与其它云迁移和混合云技术不同，这项技术能够实现计算和存储之间的解耦，并在几分钟内迁移到云计算平台，同时又能控制存储位置。用户使用这种解决方案无需重新编写程序、修改图像、降低应用程序性能或改变管理流程，只需点击一下按钮就能够将工作负载迁移到云或云之间。企业部署这一解决方案能够加速云应用，并实现自动化。无论图像或数据虚拟磁盘大小是多少，都能够在几分钟之内实现程序在云之间的迁移。
目前，企业都竞相采取措施以跟上现代不断变化的商业社会，所以 IT 公司能否同时有效利用私有云的信任、控制和可靠性以及公共云的简单、经济及灵活性也变得越来越重要。借助当前这一形势的发展，Velostrata 在去年获得的用户关注度大幅上升。
Patrick Buddenbaum 在英特尔数据中心集团企业云解决方案部门担任总经理职务，他表示：“企业现在需要混合云战略，这项战略也是企业成功的基础。Velostrata 能够提供便携性和无缝化的应用程序管理方案，有利于 IT 人员随时随刻优化总所有成本（TCO），实现云环境成长并维持规范性。”
除融资信息外，公司昨天还宣布了 Velostrata 2.0 版本的发行，它提供了一种非破坏性及低风险的方式，能够将应用程序及数据迁移到云端，既适用于短期应用情况，例如开发和测试，也适用于长期的迁移工作。

Velostrata Lifts Veil On New Hybrid Cloud Model, Raises $14M
San Jose, CA-based startup Velostrata emerged from stealth mode today with $14 million in hand and a new option for businesses that are wary of storing their data in the Web-based servers of the “public cloud.’’
Velostrata’s software makes it possible for companies to tap into the computing power available from that shared Web-based infrastructure, without also being required to store their data in the public cloud. Customers can quickly switch some of their processing workload to an outside company such as Amazon Web Services, but continue to store their data in their own in-house IT centers, according to Velostrata. Dozens of businesses have been using the software in beta testing.
The tactic of “decoupling compute from storage” allows companies to use Web-based computing as needed, and avoid the expense of overbuilding their own infrastructure to handle periods of peak demand, says Velostrata founder and CEO Issy Ben-Shaul (pictured above.) The startup, which Ben-Shaul founded in 2014 with Velostrata chief product officer Ady Degany, claims its technology is the first of its kind.
“The most consistent feedback we have heard from customers, analysts and press, is that they have not heard (of) any company that does this, so there are no competitor(s) that offer decoupling compute from storage,” Ben-Shaul said in an e-mail exchange with Xconomy.
Ben-Shaul was previously a co-founder of Actona, a wide area networks optimization company that was acquired by Cisco in 2004, and Wanova, a desktop virtualization company bought by VMware in 2012.
Velostrata announced today that it has closed a $14 million Series A funding led by Norwest Venture Partners and 83North, formerly named Greylock IL Partners.
Norwest Venture Partners general partner Dror Nahumi, in a statement about the funding announcement, said Velostrata’s technology addresses a bottleneck in the adoption by businesses of the “hybrid cloud”—the combined use of public and private computing and storage infrastructure as needed.
“Every CIO is being asked by the management team and board to migrate enterprise infrastructure to the cloud, yet a mere fraction of IT spending goes toward cloud services,” Nahumi said. “Adoption is low because current cloud migration technologies are plagued by challenges like security and compliance risks, cost, migration time, complexity and vendor lock-in. Velostrata provides an innovative hybrid cloud approach that eliminates all these challenges and empowers CIOs to accelerate the migration quest using an evolutionary, secure, and highly cost effective platform.”
