IronPOD 600 System Overview: Infrastructure Cloud Platform for dedicated Enterprise Workloads

IronPOD System 600

Most Economical, Most Advanced, Future-Proof Converged IaaS Turnkey Datacenter Cloud Platform in the Market

IRON Networks converged system products simplify Microsoft infrastructure deployments by integrating Microsoft’s new software defined datacenter software (SDDC), “The Cloud OS” and industry-standard network, compute and storage hardware; all integrated and supported as a single optimized turnkey configuration SKU.

IRON offers enterprise and service provider class system cloud platform designs that integrates all of the Microsoft modern datacenter technologies into a single model that abstracts all the complexity and brings together networking, server, storage, virtualization, automation, flexibility and scalability into a single converged cloud platform; all of it coupled with simplified deployment and serviceability services offerings. This creates a highly optimized cloud infrastructure solution that is complete, simple to acquire and deploy.

IronPOD 600 as a Standardized, Enterprise Datacenter Solution

IronPOD™ Turnkey 600 System is a 42U self-contained converged Infrastructure-in-a-Box; it is available as a pre-configured two (dedicated network fabric plus compute, and WSSR storage) racks IaaS POD.

IronPOD™ Turnkey 600 Systems built-in hardware and software redundancy provides highly available and resilient operations that helps creates end-end modern infrastructure-as-Service (IaaS) architecture cloud platform capable of scaling to hundreeds of VMs and multiple WSSR storage expansion racks, supports workhorse applications like Microsoft SQL, SharePoint and Exchange. This creates a simple, custom infrastructure solution that reduces the complexity, risk and cost of implementing and supporting a NVGRE multi-tenancy private or hybrid cloud for large enterprises.
