A New Platform From Prosimo (the Guys Who Founded Viptela)

Prosimo, the company launched last year by Viptela’s co-founders, this week introduced new features to its Application eXperience Infrastructure (AXI) platform. (Read this article by Channel Futures’ James Anderson for deep exploration into Prosimo’s business model and relevance to partners.) The company bills the product as “a full-stack cloud transit to power the enterprise multicloud.” We asked Mehul Patel, head of customer insight and intelligence at Prosimo, what that means.

“When we use the term ‘full-stack,’ it refers to a consistent architecture that reduces complexity, regardless of location or region, when connecting applications, services and networks in the cloud while addressing operations, security and performance requirements,” Patel said.

Patel noted that IaaS, PaaS and apps endpoints all need to communicate at various levels.

“The IaaS apps running in VPC or VNET need connecting, securing and optimizing at the network layer. PaaS or serverless can only be attached using the application layer using Fully Qualified Domain Names. However, this greatly increases operating complexity as enterprises move across other clouds and regions. Prosimo’s Network Transit and App Transit are the core building blocks that provide enterprises with a full-stack cloud transit, basically a single architecture that simplifies and automates multicloud.”
