One of the main reasons behind the popularity of containers is that they make it much easier to deploy applications than traditional virtualization software. But the technology doesn’t live up to the promise all the time, especially when it comes to enterprise workloads with complex operational requirements. A newly launched startup called Diamanti Inc. is trying to address the challenge with a converged appliance that automates much of the implementation process, starting with the initial hardware configuration.
The system combines speedy flash storage and networking gear in an integrated chassis that removes the need for organizations to piece together their deployment one building block at a time According to Diamanti, its appliance can be quickly hooked up to a company’s existing server infrastructure and set up with its custom choice of software.
