I’ve been writing about computers since 1984 and back then companies had names that made sense. They were named after people like Dell or Ashton-Tate or things like Eagle or International Business Machines. Then the easy names ran out and people started just making up words. But there are still cool names around that actually mean something like Aditi, which is a Sanskrit word referring to a sky goddess. Nice tag for a cloud company, eh?
So Aditi Technologies is just that, a consulting firm and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) player that offers brainpower and services, such as product engineering, social networking and collaboration assistance, digital marketing and cloud tools and services. This arsenal is packing a bit more heat with the acquisition of ‘Get Cloud Ready’, a company that built a framework to help companies adopt the cloud.
“It offers a structured and a systematic approach to get people, processes, products and business applications ready to take advantage of the cloud,” the company said. “We offer comprehensive training programs, advisory services, migration and maintenance services covering the entire spectrum of the journey to the cloud.”
Two years ago Aditi bought Cumulux, another cloud consulting concern.
Get Cloud Ready Consulting has some decent Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud chops. The guy who started it, Janakiram MSV, did cloud stuff for both these vendors. Now Cloud Ready offers, it says, has expertise in those platforms as well as OpenStack and Cloud Foundry.
“With Get Cloud Ready, we seek to provide our customers with granular visibility into rapidly migrating and managing applications across multiple cloud platforms with minimal effort,” said Pradeep Rathinam, CEO at Aditi Technologies. “We are betting big on DevOps and Managed Services, along with application development targeting PaaS that transforms global businesses by simplifying and speeding the entire journey to the cloud.”
Aditi, which boasts some 170 million users served, focuses on mobile workloads, data orchestration, as well as enabling SaaS and migrating clients to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).
“With the addition of Get Cloud Ready, Aditi now offers a complete portfolio of reengineering, migration, performance optimization and DevOps solutions specifically designed to help customers avoid vendor lock-in by letting them use the development and deployment platforms of their choice,” said Cloud Ready’s Janakiram MSV.
Inside Aditi
Aditi uses the same kind of technology it proposed to clients, with a slight twist. With the help of Microsoft, Aditi used Hyper-V to virtualize its core apps such as SQL Server and Exchange, and run them on a private cloud based on Windows Server 2008 R2.
“Today, the company has six physical servers, running 60 servers and scalable to host 20 additional servers. These are hosted using Hyper-V cluster, SQL cluster, Exchange Database Availability Group (DAG), and Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB),” Microsoft said.
