GoGrid, the cloud computing division of ServePath, and CohesiveFT have released CohesiveFT’s VPN-Cubed, customer-controlled cloud security offering, in the GoGrid cloud.
The company said that enterprises looking to extend their compute capacity past their own data centres can use the GoGrid cloud with VPN-cubed to provide secure connection between their data centre and their GoGrid cloud assets.
The VPN-Cubed overlay network provides four key capabilities including, static addressing for the user’s cloud devices; topology control by using VPN-cubed managers as virtual routers; use of enterprise protocols like UDP multicast for service discovery; and encrypted communications between all devices on the overlay network.
According to GoGrid, the VPN-Cubed enables customer control in a cloud, across multiple clouds, and between private infrastructure and the clouds. It provides an overlay network that allows customers control over addressing, topology, protocols and encrypted communications for their devices deployed to virtual infrastructure or GoGrid’s cloud infrastructure.
John Keagy, CEO of GoGrid, said: “We approach cloud servers from a cluster point of view providing users with greater management options over their assets. Management and control are key drivers when enterprises move infrastructure to the cloud that is why we are very excited about CohesiveFT’s VPN-Cubed overlay network, our users can move assets to the cloud with added confidence.”
