mCloud is an enterprise-grade virtualisation platform that's been designed for mission-critical, high-performing virtual workloads.
mCloud is our own high-availability, infinitely scalable, and secure virtualisation platform. It's purposefully built on open-source compute, storage, and networking technologies which eliminates the constraints of being vendor locked-in.
Bringing together server virtualisation, storage, computing, and networking all within a single platform - mCloud allows for seamless management of virtual machines, containers, storage, and the networks linking them together.
Useful not only for both public and private clouds, but one of its unique approaches is that it gives customers the ability to reduce OPEX by allowing them to contribute their own hardware.
At its core, three modules form the basis for our mCloud platform: mSAN, mCompute and our mNetworking platforms.
The mCompute platform is a high-availability cluster of enterprise-grade Dell servers used to host virtual workloads, delivering high-performance for even the most demanding applications.
The mSAN platform represents the next generation in storage solutions, outperforming traditional systems where they fall short. It integrates object, block, and file storage into a singular, unified storage platform.
By utilising our mCompute and mSAN clusters, all workloads are independent of the physical hosts they're running on, thus protecting them from downtime caused by hardware issues.
Users are easily able to scale their environment as needed - as the adding of resources is as simple as using our self-serve portals or contacting our 24/7 Support Team.
Our mCloud platform utilises open-source software from OpenStack and Ceph, reassuring users with the confidence they won't be vendor-locked into a single provider.
Our mCompute and mSAN platforms both utilise Intel XEON Gold CPUs and NVMe SSDs to deliver high-performance all the way up to even those most-demanding of applications.
We’re up-to-date with the latest in security standards, such as being ISO 27001, 27002, 27018 and 14520 certified, PCI compliant, and IRAP assessed.
Our comprehensive DDoS platform employs multiple layers of protection to inspect, scan, and to filter traffic at our global scrubbing centres.
Double down on high availability by combining bullet-proof virtual servers within our Tier IV accredited data centre - the highest uptime accreditation that a data centre can be provided with.
In this cyberage world with concerns over foreign influence, the physical sovereignty of your data is the ultimate peace of mind. You can rest assured with Micron21 as we're proudly 100% Australian owned & operated.
Openstack allows users to control pools of resources like compute, storage, and networking resources, all managed through APIs or via a dashboard.
Beyond standard Infrastructure-as-a-Service functionality, additional components provide orchestration, fault management and service management amongst other services to ensure high availability of user applications.
Ceph is a storage system that provides a unified storage service with object, block, and file interfaces from clusters of storage hardware.
Designed to address the block, file and object storage needs of modern enterprises – its highly scalable architecture sees it being adopted as the new norm for high-growth block storage, object stores, and data lakes.
The Micron21 team are experts in facilitating a smooth and swift migration from VMware’s ESXi, Hyper-V, or other virtualisation platforms to mCloud.
Additionally, we can offer guidance for designing, building, and maintaining all different types of compute and storage platforms, whether you're looking to utilise OpenStack, Proxmox, CEPH, XFS, or any other technology.
From our perspective, companies put a significant investment into their cloud technologies and should not be beholden to the whims of major commercial interests.
With the wide range of services offered and supported by Micron21, our clients retain the freedom of choice on what platform they can use and what provider they can choose to provide support for those platforms.
Through utilising high-performance enterprise-grade Dell hardware, we're able to provide:
We operate the second largest peered network in Australia and connect globally with over 1900 networks. With presence in USA, Singapore, Europe and Australia we have over 700gbit of global capacity.
Our entire network is protected by our world class DDoS mitigation platform which is purpose built for Australian operations to achieve data sovereignty and low latency.
