MONTREAL, Quebec, June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- VEXXHOST
announces that the much sought-after service of OpenStack Upgrades
is available within their offering. VEXXHOST's OpenStack Upgrades
service is available to companies who have an existing private
cloud that is running an older release, delivering to users an
updated OpenStack infrastructure running the latest release, Stein.
As the OpenStack Community releases its software every six months
or so, the ability to run their latest release is invaluable.
Organizations that aren't up to date with their OpenStack
software can face some significant challenges. For example, through
the Rocky release, users were given the ability to recover machines
after power faults, access Fast Forward Upgrades, manage BIOS
settings, and implement improved security within key projects. Not
only are they unable to take advantage of these new features and
improve upon their existing infrastructure, but they run the risk
of their release becoming outdated and deprecated, leaving them to
create or hire a support team to maintain it.
"VEXXHOST is a recognized member of our open source community,"
said Thierry Carrez, Vice President
of Engineering for the OpenStack Foundation and an elected member
of the OpenStack Technical Committee. "Beyond providing project
infrastructure resources, they contributed back their experience,
leadership, and code. This upstream investment allows them to
anticipate new releases, upgrade early, and often make new versions
of OpenStack available to their customers on release day. Upgrading
complex infrastructure early and often to benefit from the latest
features remains a challenge. We are thrilled that today, VEXXHOST
is making its OpenStack upgrade expertise available to any cloud
operator who needs it."
VEXXHOST's public and private clouds have not only remained up
to date with each OpenStack release but have been running the
upgrades on the same day that they are launched by OpenStack. For
example, when Stein was released by the OpenStack Community on
April 10th, VEXXXHOST was offering
this 19th upgrade to its clients as well. It is through this
hands-on approach and significant experience that VEXXHOST is able
to help its users upgrade each release.
"VEXXHOST is passionate about delivering the best to our users,
and being able to guide and support them not only in the successful
upgrade of their OpenStack software, but also in their goal of
getting the most out its features in regards to their use cases,"
says Mohammed Naser, CEO.
Through the OpenStack Upgrades offering, users benefit from
VEXXHOST's extensive OpenStack expertise and commitment to
continuous upgrades. VEXXHOST not only ensures that their users can
leverage the latest and greatest OpenStack releases, but also that
these updates are done in a way that its users don't incur any
complications. This is achieved through the employment of
OpenStack's Tempest, a project developed specifically to validate
deployments.
VEXXHOST has offered this service to its users in the past
through its consultation offering; however, to make it easier for
users to take advantage of it, VEXXHOST has broken out OpenStack
Upgrades into its own simplified solution. Should you or your
company be interested in learning more about the advantages of
