Cloud Review: EMC Doubles Down on Storage and Adobe Embraces SaaS

EMC recently introduced a storage management solution for large-scale private cloud deployments and Adobe announced that it is adopting a subscription-based model. In addition, CloudVolumes upgraded its service and GoodData entered into a milestone partnership with Box.

Last Monday, EMC introduced a set of new solutions at its annual conference in Las Vegas. One of the products that made its debut at the event is ViPR, a software-defined storage management platform that separates function from data and empowers users to integrate third party products and frameworks into their environments.

A day after EMC unveiled its new offerings, Adobe launched a subscription-based edition of its flagship Creative Suite. For a monthly fee of $49.99 and a minimum one-year commitment, subscribers receive access to the 16 apps that are included in the standard version: services that help create mobile-ready content, and 20GB of cloud storage. Users can subscribe to individual apps for $19.99 a month, but this cheaper plan doesn’t include the platform tools.

On Wednesday, SiliconAngle contributing editor John Casaretto covered the highlights from his briefing with CloudVolumes, an emerging provider of private cloud solutions that launched its flagship product this week. Casaretto calls the offering “the stuff of legends.” The startup’s technology enables enterprises to roll out software in seconds, and it can be used to create high availability through stateless server deployments. To top it all off, the product can support up to 10,000 virtual machines.

GoodData, a BI-as-a-service firm, also had big news this week. The company announced GoodBox Bash, a cloud-based analytics and data visualization solution targeted at enterprise Box users. The out-of-the-box cloud solution competes with existing products from Salesforce, Oracle and SAP.
