The demand for enterprise IT departments and service providers to introduce new managed services has never been greater. Citrix CloudPortal Business Manager delivers a solution that allows providers to rapidly deploy new services which their customers can easily select, purchase and use. Caringo is pleased to have integrated our enterprise class object storage with CloudPortal Business Manager and worked closely with Citrix to ensure organizations can provide a highly scalable and easy to manage cloud storage service with just a few clicks. The combined solution radically simplifies cloud storage deployment, and enables organizations to leverage the same metering and user management systems as their other cloud services.

Citrix and Cloudian share a common commitment to making it easy for any enterprise or service provider to deploy powerful, cost-effective clouds. The Cloudian Storage Platform is already fully integrated with Citrix CloudPlatform, enabling seamless deployment of S3-compatible cloud storage quickly and cost-effectively, as well as offering secondary storage. Now, with our upcoming integration with CloudPortal Business Manager, we are bringing IT-as-a-service and Storage-as-a-Utility one step closer to being realities.

The self-service interface and granular account management that CloudPortal Business Manager provides allows us to perfectly balance the administrative control and end-user self-service requirements of our enterprise private cloud customers.

Citrix CloudPortal Business Manager 2.0 gives us the operational control we need to deliver self-service cloud continuity offerings beyond IaaS. The new CloudService SDK enables us to deliver a custom set of differentiated services that provides enterprises complete control of their computing resources to support their mission critical applications.
