Secure, hybrid, multi-cloud solution

for any platform or location

Traditional technology infrastructure, designed for static workloads, faces challenges in scalability, agility, and innovation due to its inherent rigidity and complex, time-consuming maintenance processes.

The problems with today’s infrastructures

These factors drive the need for hybrid, private, or edge solutions… to name just a few:

Flexibility

Monolithic and heritage infrastructure vendors, powered by “click ops” and slow manual architecture blueprints and processes are the enemy of efficiency and innovation.

Security

Worse than being insecure, unsecure infrastructures lead to exploitation and ultimately a loss of customer trust

Complication

Common pain points include difficulty in scaling and managing workloads across multiple clouds, deploying hardware in data centers and challenges in managing multi-cloud environments. Compliance and change management requirements add to this complexity.

Skill Availability

Finding and retaining qualified and competent staff is becoming increasingly difficult and competitive.

This led to the meteoric rise of public cloud infrastructure over the past two decades.

But, the public cloud is not a one size fits all solution

These factors drive the need for hybrid, private, or edge solutions… to name just a few:

Higher and rising costs

Elevated expenses often associated with extensive public cloud usage.

Compliance issues

Difficulty meeting specific regulatory requirements in a public cloud environment.

Business Policy considerations

Public cloud solutions may conflict with internal corporate policies.

Latency requirements

Potential latency issues in geographically distant public cloud data centers.

Introducing Fluid

Fluid thinking

The concept of “cloud-like” deployed infrastructure represents a paradigm shift, where infrastructure is viewed not as a fixed physical entity but as a fluid, scalable, and adaptable resource that can be rapidly provisioned and reconfigured as needed.

This approach embraces the cloud’s principles of elasticity, on-demand availability, and distributed computing, applying them to the entire infrastructure landscape, thereby enabling unprecedented levels of efficiency, agility, and innovation in both cloud and on-premises environments.

What can Fluid do for you?

Fluid combines secure, scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance solutions to meet diverse and dynamic business demands.

Rapid deployment

By deploying production ready infrastructure faster, time and money is saved

Cost effectiveness

Optimizes resource use, significantly reducing operational costs and simplify licensing

Enhanced security and compliance

Robust security and compliance for sensitive data protection

Performance and efficiency gains

High performance and efficiency for reliable service delivery.

Remove the multi-team, manual repetitive tasks of infrastructure deployment with

self assembling, smart infrastructure.

Fluid…

Is a platform to simplify on-prem and bare metal infrastructure deployment and management
Automates the provisioning of cloud-scale network and compute so you can focus on deploying applications instead of deploying infrastructure
Boasts centralized management via our cloud-hosted portal
Connects on-premises, public cloud and managed storage environments, from a single portal or API call within minutes
Is the simplest way to deploy Kubernetes and VMs on your own infrastructure

“Our focus is to make Fluid as portable, scalable, and flexible as possible so it can exist where the cloud can’t and won’t, and to facilitate the next level of hybrid clouds and hyper-scalable applications. Fluid brings your workloads as close to your end-user and customer as possible.”
Alex Turner – Fluid CTO

How does Fluid achieve this for you?
