Overview

VM Squared is a complete software solution for hosting and operating VM services.

A disproportionate number of private cloud systems are built from loosely integrated products which the customer must integrate. Integration and setup work introduces opportunity for human errors in what is now a well-established field with clearly defined best practices. It also places more work on the organization’s staff reducing agility and hampering the ability of the business to respond to fast-moving challenges.

VM Squared is fully integrated to deliver storage, network, accounting, dashboard and compute services in one deployment. Security is not left as an exercise for the customer, VM Squared was built from the ground up to operate in secure environments.

Multi-tenancy is also built in, fully separating workloads belonging to different tenants and allowing customers to add a new tenant in only a few clicks.

Secure Virtual Network#

Virtual networking provides performance and security with in-built VM firewalls and support for teaming and failover.

Firewalls are provided on every virtual machine to prevent threats spreading between VMs. Support for the latest Ethernet speeds and bonding enables demanding workloads to thrive whilst integrated flexible bandwidth throttling avoids busier VMs disrupting their neigbouring workloads.

Resilient and Flexible Storage#

VM Squared thinks that storage services should be integrated, not an expensive bolt-on. Which is why you will find included data services capable of replication out of the box. Bring your local disks and leverage powerful data services including integrated snapshots, backup and restore as well as protection against data loss in the event of a disk or node outage.

Triple replication allows you to start with just three hosts while erasure coding means that larger clusters have options to aggregate larger number of hosts and disks to improve storage utilization efficiency. Mix multiple replication types in the same cluster to provide balances towards performance or capacity as needed.

Ready to go with VM images#

Time to value has been hampered by traditional VM systems treating the access to the service as an add-on. VM Squared comes with a customer dashboard and a library of App images including Windows, Linux and official Apps.
