Frank Artale Joins ServiceMesh Board of Directors

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Nov. 16, 2011 – ServiceMesh, provider of the market-leading enterprise cloud platform for Global 2000 companies, today announced that it has completed a funding round of $15 million through Ignition Partners. Frank Artale, a partner at Ignition, will join the ServiceMesh board of directors. ServiceMesh will use the capital from this funding to accelerate its global market penetration and partnerships.

“Through ServiceMesh, we believe the promise of enterprise-scale cloud computing is finally becoming a reality,” said Artale. “To successfully derive business value from these technologies, organizations must be able to provide flexible access to cloud environments under a unified SLA, governance and compliance framework. Further, organizations need a transparent mechanism for departmental chargebacks and usage analysis. The ServiceMesh platform is unique in its ability to deliver these capabilities and enable businesses to rapidly derive optimal benefit from a cloud deployment in a customizable yet tightly controlled environment. We see an immediate market opportunity for ServiceMesh in businesses of all sizes, including the largest enterprises and governments, because ServiceMesh is the only way to ensure that these organizations achieve significant business value from their cloud investment.”

“The investment community now recognizes that we are at the beginning of a massive and long-term transition to a cloud operating model,” said Eric Pulier, CEO of ServiceMesh. “But enterprises must be able to turn raw technology into business value. The ServiceMesh Agility Platform provides the unique missing link by bringing business IT services directly to users while at the same time keeping the environment safe and controlled.  With this round of funding, Ignition Partners has affirmed ServiceMesh as a leading player in this rapidly expanding market.”

What are Enterprises Really Doing in the Cloud?

by James Staten on October 25, 2011

You know there are developers in your company using public cloud platforms but do you really know what they are doing? You suspect it’s just test and development work but are you sure? And if it is production workloads are they taking the steps necessary to protect the company? We have the answers to these questions and you may be surprised by how far they are going.

It’s tough being an infrastructure & operations professional these days. According to our ForrSight surveys for every cloud project you know about there could be 3 to 6 others you don’t know about. Business unit leaders, marketing and sales professionals and Empowered developers are leading the charge. They aren’t circumventing I&O as a sign of rebellion – they simply are trying to move quickly to drive revenue and increase productivity. While every I&O professional should be concerned about this pattern of shadow IT and its implications on the role of I&O in the future, the more immediate concern is about whether these shadow efforts are putting the company at risk.

The bottom line: Cloud use isn’t just test and development. In fact, according to our ForrSight research there’s more production use of IaaS cloud platforms than test and development and broader use is coming (see Figure 1 below). The prominent uses are for training, product demonstration and other marketing purposes. Our research also shows that test and development projects in the cloud are just as likely to go to production in the cloud as they are to come back to your data center.

So how much should you be concerned about this trend? Well first off, you can probably forget about trying to stop it. Your focus should be on determining how much risk there is in this pattern and this may take a leap of faith on your part because as of right now, your developers know more about how to use public cloud platforms than you do. This means they are more knowledgeable than you about what it takes to make them highly available and secure. This experience deficit is a much more problematic issue than anything else because when you start asking your developers what they are doing to ensure the availability of their applications on IaaS, you don’t really even know what to ask.

Sure, you can ask what they are doing to ensure availability but do you even know what the availability options are on the leading clouds and how best to leverage them? Do you know what data replication takes place by default and what options they could turn on?

At the same time, you can’t just trust the developers to care as much about data integrity, BCDR and availability as you do because, normally, they entrust this to you. So rather than engage in a frustrating back and forth that risks misunderstanding by both parties, let’s see if we can accelerate your learnings, bring these cloud efforts out of the shadows so you can learn exactly what is going on and how much you really should be worried.
