ZeroStack Launches AI Suite for Self-Driving Clouds – Yahoo Finance

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ZeroStack, the leader in making self-driving private cloud affordable for all companies, today announced its roadmap and first suite of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities derived from machine learning. These capabilities build the foundation for self-driving clouds, making deploying, running, and managing on-premises cloud as hands off as using a public cloud. Aimed at empowering application developers, other on-premises clouds require major investments in IT infrastructure and internal skills. ZeroStacks intelligent cloud platform leverages self-healing software and algorithms developed from over one million datagrams. This economic disruption unleashes businesses to choose clouds for application development based on data locality, governance, performance and costs without technology adoption restricting their choices.

With ZeroStacks vision for automated cloud, and this first release of real capabilities, I believe they are the only credible cloud vendor to employ artificial intelligence in the service of enterprise customers, said Torsten Volk, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. Given the increasing complexity of IT operations, deploying AI is an optimal way of managing costs.

The future of the datacenter is AI because fewer and fewer companies want to manage any infrastructure. As a result, the responsibility to manage increasing complexity is shifting from the customer to the vendor, said Dr. Jim Metzler, principal analyst at Ashton, Metzler and Associates. By incorporating AI technology into their software, ZeroStack is at the forefront of these tidal changes in IT.

ZeroStacks AI Suite

Designed by senior engineers from VMware and Google, ZeroStacks intelligent cloud platform collects operational data and leverages machine learning to help customers make decisions about capacity planning, troubleshooting and optimized placement of applications. ZeroStacks vision is to extend existing functionality in three phases:

ZeroStack has continually worked to reduce ITs I&O burden for enterprise customers, and our AI software strategy points the way to the future of IT operations, said Kamesh Pemmaraju, vice president of product management at ZeroStack. As placement and management of customer workloads increase datacenter complexity, AI will be a key requirement for cost-effective management, and we are at the forefront of using this technology.
