KALEAO Introduces New Version of its Flagship KMAX

KALEAO offers a new “true-converged” solution, built to support hybrid and physically secure environments, bringing new efficiency to enterprise data center architecture

CHARLOTTE, NC and CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM – April 17, 2018 – KALEAO, the technologically innovative server solutions company, today announced the introduction of KMAX-EP, the newest version of KALEAO’s flagship solution for the server infrastructure market. KMAX-EP builds on the market leading scalability and cost benefits of KALEAO’s initial KMAX offering, now known as KMAX-HD, which is optimized for hyperscale deployment. KMAX-EP offers the total cost of ownership advantages of a hyperconverged solution further enabling the digital transformation of enterprise markets.

“We see KALEAO's version of hyperconverged filling a true need in the industry and gaining traction, " said Mike Leone, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "The value proposition of KALEAO around consolidation of resources is powerful, especially as more compute-intensive use cases, like IoT, continue to emerge. With the opportunity of satisfying real-time performance needs at the edge, KALEAO's unique approach warrants and is worth consideration."

Designed specifically to meet the needs of enterprise infrastructure, KMAX-EP’s fully integrated 4U chassis, power supply options, and pure, single-sided access further enables key applications for IT leaders including:

• Consolidation of IT services to bring resources together, to lower operational expense, and deliver corporate data governance while reducing management complexity
• Service delivery using private enterprise cloud models for enhanced data security and protection
• Modernization of the enterprise data center with new levels of scalability and efficiency

KALEAO’s KMAX product line moves hyperconverged infrastructure a step further, to what it calls “true converged, ” delivering a consolidated software-defined platform integrating computing and storage and now with integrated networking to be deployed one chassis at a time. The KMAX-EP and KMAX-HD products deliver up to 10 times the compute density of other hyperconverged offerings while consuming a quarter of the power due to KMAX’s optimized scale-out architecture. KMAX also benefits from the use of low-power ARM 64-bit processors.

“It is an exciting time at KALEAO as we’ve begun to expand our technology offerings based on customer feedback and market demand. Our KMAX-EP is the next logical step in bringing true converged infrastructure to more global organizations, ” said Greg Nicoloso, CMO and Co-Founder, KALEAO. “We’re pleased to announce the latest addition to our portfolio, KMAX-EP, today as we look forward to releasing additional offerings and configurations.”

All KMAX products are available in a Server Edition to deliver a managed bare metal environment, and an Appliance Edition, delivering out of the box services. Initial Appliance versions include the OnApp Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) Platform for software defined infrastructure as a service (IaaS) with centralized system management, for multi-tenant OS and Docker-based applications deployment. Additional appliance editions are in development.

The new KMAX-EP may be ordered now and will be generally available in the second half of 2018. Enterprises who want to conduct a functional evaluation of the benefits of KMAX may contact KALEAO directly for further information.
