CAMPBELL, Cal­if., March 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

TidalScale, the lead­er in Soft­ware-Defined Servers, announced today the next gen­er­a­tion of its award-win­ning Soft­ware-Defined Server technology—what ana­lysts have defined as the miss­ing piece of the com­pos­able Soft­ware-Defined Data Cen­ter. TidalScale’s new gen­er­a­tion deliv­ers unprece­dent­ed per­for­mance, scal­a­bil­i­ty, man­age­abil­i­ty and broad plat­form sup­port. As a result, orga­ni­za­tions gain more valu­able busi­ness insights soon­er, while reduc­ing Total Cost of Own­er­ship (TCO) by unlock­ing and opti­miz­ing the full val­ue of data cen­ter resources.

Gary Smer­don, Pres­i­dent & CEO at TidalScale
“Main­tain­ing com­pet­i­tive advan­tage depends on an organization’s abil­i­ty to quick­ly process and gain insight from real-time infor­ma­tion, but the rapid growth of those data sets is out­pac­ing the per­for­mance improve­ments in server hard­ware. The release of TidalScale’s break­through next-gen­er­a­tion Soft­ware-Defined Server tech­nol­o­gy address­es the­se chal­lenges and takes a giant leap toward a future where Soft­ware-Defined Servers are the foun­da­tion of mod­ern data cen­ters.”

News Sum­ma­ry:

  • Award-win­ning com­bi­na­tion of per­for­mance and TCO: TidalScale’s next-gen­er­a­tion Soft­ware-Defined Server tech­nol­o­gy fea­tures sig­nif­i­cant­ly enhanced per­for­mance, scal­a­bil­i­ty, and man­age­abil­i­ty, which brings more val­ue to busi­ness­es by speed­ing insights and deliv­ers low­er TCO by giv­ing IT pow­er­ful tools for free­ing val­ue from sta­t­ic data cen­ter assets.
  • Real-Time Machine Learn­ing: TidalScale is lead­ing the indus­try in deploy­ing real-time machine learn­ing beneath the oper­at­ing sys­tem and appli­ca­tions to con­stant­ly opti­mize server per­for­mance and uti­liza­tion.
  • Fast: A TidalScale Soft­ware-Defined Server with suf­fi­cient mem­o­ry and CPU resources often out­per­forms an under­sized tra­di­tion­al server by 10X-1000X. In addi­tion, users can access this “right-sized” server in min­utes –a rad­i­cal improve­ment over the weeks or months it takes to deploy tra­di­tion­al large servers.
  • Easy: TidalScale’s WaveRun­ner™ orches­tra­tion soft­ware has been enhanced to expand man­age­abil­i­ty and speed deploy­ment. Now, with WaveRunner’s point-and-click con­trol pan­el, cre­at­ing a Soft­ware-Defined Server of essen­tial­ly any size from a set of com­mod­i­ty servers takes just three clicks and only five min­utes.
  • Broad OS & appli­ca­tion sup­port: TidalScale Soft­ware-Defined Servers run appli­ca­tions and oper­at­ing sys­tems with zero mod­i­fi­ca­tions. Appli­ca­tions such as SAP HANA, Ora­cle Data­base, R and SPARK all ben­e­fit from afford­able in-mem­o­ry per­for­mance.  Addi­tion­al­ly, TidalScale is cer­ti­fied by lead­ing enter­prise Lin­ux providers includ­ing Red Hat, Ubun­tu, and now SuSe Enter­prise Lin­ux (see relat­ed announce­ment).

The Miss­ing Piece in the Soft­ware-Defined Data Cen­ter
Soft­ware-Defined Servers use TidalScale’s patent­ed inverse-hyper­vi­sor tech­nol­o­gy to break down bar­ri­ers between phys­i­cal servers and solve big data prob­lems. Using TidalScale’s WaveRun­ner point-and-click orches­tra­tion soft­ware, vir­tu­al­ly any­one can cre­ate a Soft­ware-Defined Server from mul­ti­ple com­mod­i­ty phys­i­cal servers in min­utes. And once it’s up and run­ning, TidalScale’s real-time machine learn­ing lay­er con­tin­u­ous­ly opti­mizes sys­tem per­for­mance. The result is flex­i­ble, self-opti­miz­ing soft­ware-defined com­pute infra­struc­ture right-sized for today and eas­i­ly recon­fig­ured as an organization’s needs evolve.

Jeff Pre­vost, Assis­tant Pro­fes­sor, Depart­ment of Elec­tri­cal & Com­put­er Engi­neer­ing, UTSA
“As a research insti­tu­tion, we serve a user base with a wide range of needs for com­pute, stor­age and net­work resources. Our goal is to serve the­se researchers so they can focus on their work and not on rewrit­ing code to run across clus­ters. We’re achiev­ing this by archi­tect­ing a data cen­ter stack that’s entire­ly soft­ware-defined, so researchers sim­ply sub­mit their job, what­ev­er it is, and we respond by stand­ing up exact­ly what they need to com­plete it. TidalScale is an essen­tial piece of this soft­ware-defined puz­zle.”

John Moren­cy, Research VP, Gart­ner Research
“The ongo­ing adop­tion of soft­ware-defined infra­struc­ture is as inevitable as that of x86 server vir­tu­al­iza­tion a decade or more ago, and will achieve sim­i­lar lev­els of pen­e­tra­tion. Hard­ware will be viewed as being increas­ing­ly com­modi­tized as the SDI abstrac­tion lay­ers mask the native capa­bil­i­ties and dif­fer­en­tia­tors. As data cen­ter infra­struc­ture becomes increas­ing­ly soft­ware-cen­tric, new and agile soft­ware com­pa­nies will dis­rupt many exist­ing data cen­ter providers.”[i]

Faster Busi­ness Deci­sions
The scal­a­bil­i­ty and in-mem­o­ry per­for­mance of Soft­ware-Defined Servers enable users to make deci­sions more rapid­ly from increas­ing­ly large data. They offer a fast, flex­i­ble and easy scal­a­bil­i­ty plat­form for all types of time-crit­i­cal appli­ca­tions includ­ing in-mem­o­ry data­bas­es, like SAP HANA and Ora­cle, sim­u­la­tions, and ana­lyt­ics work­loads like Open Source R.

Robert Fred­er­ick, CEO of Sirqul
“When IoT ana­lyt­ics prob­lems over­whelm your largest server (or even the largest server avail­able from your cloud com­put­ing provider), TidalScale steps in to deliv­er pre­cise­ly what’s need­ed: a server con­fig­ured to han­dle your increased IoT work­load from Sirqul at any point in time. With TidalScale’s Soft­ware-Defined Servers, you’ll nev­er have an ana­lyt­ics prob­lem too big, too com­plex, or too time-con­sum­ing to han­dle. With IoT data grow­ing 50 times faster than enter­prise data, that’s great news for Sirqul customers–and it’s why we’re part­ner­ing with TidalScale.”
