OrionVM Wholesale Pty Limited (trading as OrionVM )[1] [2]
is an Australian infrastructure as a service provider and white-label cloud platform. Resellers present customers with a rebranded interface for deploying virtual machine instances, which are only billed for what their customers use. Cloud Harmony benchmarked the OrionVM Cloud Platform's InfiniBand -backed network storage as the world's fastest in 2011.[5]
The company was founded and is headquartered in Sydney , Australia ,[6] [7]
with offices in San Francisco , California .[3]
History
[ edit ]
OrionVM was founded in a dorm by Sheng Yeo,[8]
Alex Sharp[9]
and Joseph Glanville in 2010.[10]
The company's cloud platform was developed while the founders were still students at the University of Technology, Sydney and University of Sydney .[9] After fifteen months of development, their cloud platform entered a Public Beta programme, with a full launch on 1 April 2011.[11]
In 2011, the company received angel investments from Australian entrepreneur and PIPE Networks co-founder Stephen Baxter[12] [13]
and American Gordon Bell of DEC and Microsoft Research .[14]
For his work at OrionVM, CEO Sheng Yeo was nominated for the 2012 Australian Entrepreneur of the Year[15] and the 2013 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year.[8]
In 2014, OrionVM received a State Merit award and a National Finalist nomination in the 2014 iAwards, with CTO Alex Sharp winning the Hills YIA Cloud award.[16] The company was nominated for a Stevie Award for New Product or Service of the Year in Cloud Infrastructure Software,[17] and an Australian Startup Awards nomination.[18]
In 2016, Yeo and Sharp were named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list.[19]
Products
[ edit ]
OrionVM sells a wholesale cloud infrastructure platform for public , private and hybrid cloud deployments. Vendors can white-label the platform for resale, or for internal use.[23] Prominent resellers include:
Technology
[ edit ]
OrionVM uses the Xen hypervisor to virtualise multiple machines (referred to as "instances") on the same hardware.[21] Linux instances use paravirtualisation for reduced overhead by default, with Windows Server being deployed using hardware-assisted virtualisation (HVM ).
Traditional virtual private server and infrastructure as a service providers consolidate storage into a storage area network , which is limited by Ethernet network speeds and best-effort reliability. OrionVM's platform took design cues from supercomputers by placing hypervisor storage and compute on the same physical servers .[27] These are backed by a decentralised InfiniBand fabric .[28] This improves network reliability and performance, and allows for rapid rollover between physical hosts for high availability .
Features
[ edit ]
Rebranded panel
[ edit ]
To end users, the base of the platform consists of a web panel , where customers are able to deploy virtual machines. For resellers, the logos and theme can be modified to suit their own branding.[29]
Instances
[ edit ]
From the panel, users can deploy preconfigured instances with their chosen operating system and required memory . Additional storage disks and IP addresses can be created separately, then assigned to new or existing instances. After shutting down, further resources can be allocated or scaled down .[29] [30]
Access
[ edit ]
Instances can be accessed out-of-band via a web-based serial console or VNC session. Access is also available via ovm_ctl, an open source command line interface available from GitHub [20] and the pip package manager .[22]
Linux machines come preconfigured with SSH , and Windows with RDP for remote access .
Templates
[ edit ]
Instances can be provisioned from a series of predefined templates, which can be customised if required. They include:[31]
Vyatta templates are officially supported for software-defined logical networking between instances.
API
[ edit ]
A public API exists for controlling instances. Open source Python bindings are available on GitHub .[20]
