Julian Chesterfield has worked in the cloud and virtualization industry for over 15 years. After completing his PhD at Cambridge University, he became involved in writing a technology called Xen, which became the foundation of the public cloud back in 2007 when it was adopted by Amazon and most of the emerging public cloud infrastructure providers of the day.Julian began Sunlight.io as an incubation project in 2013 to build a lightweight hypervisor for low-power ARM processors. On seeing its value for data-intensive applications at the Edge, Julian and the founding team built it into a full hyperconverged infrastructure stack - Sunlight. Sunlight secured $6M in Series A funding in December 2020 and has gone on to launch new products, including the Sunlight Infrastructure Manager (SIM) and Marketplace. Julian previously held positions at OnApp, as Chief Scientific Officer, and Citrix, as Storage Architect.Sunlight.io is the thinnest, fastest HyperConverged Infrastructure platform built for applications that run at the edge. They make running and managing applications and infrastructure at the edge as easy as “in the cloud” across 100s to 1000s of edge devices. Sunlight works with efficient, ruggedized edge hardware - so you can consolidate all your in-location edge applications with centralized management, high performance, and high availability.Their flagship product is the Sunlight HyperConverged Edge which is a full-stack, bare-metal virtualization platform that combines the computing, storage, and networking of one to multiple servers into a single system or cluster. Each cluster, deployed in a remote location, can consolidate multiple instances of Windows, Linux, or containers on x86, AMD, Arm, and NVIDIA Jetson. Sunlight NexCenter is the centralized console and API that provides a single pane of glass to manage and monitor edge resources, take backups, move workloads, and deploy new remote clusters. A core feature of NexCenter is the AppLibrary which allows customers to build and access playbooks (images & recipes) for deploying applications and the supporting infrastructure to 100s or 1000s of remote clusters with a single click.

In this episode I talk with Jim Freeman, Head of Solutions at OnApp. OnApp provides a complete Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) software platform for hosting companies, cloud providers, managed service providers and telecoms companies. Service Providers can create a wide range of cloud, dedicated hosting, CDN, DNS and storage services on top of commodity datacenter infrastructure; automate them completely through a central control panel. Jim and I discuss the early days backing Xen as a compute platform, the key partnership with VMware and OnApp's Federation service which is a true Cloud Computing Marketplace. OnApp was founded in 2010 and is based the United Kingdom.

Dr. Julian Chesterfield, Chief Scientific Officer at OnApp, joins us on Conversations in the Cloud to discuss solving storage performance challenges in large-scale virtualized environments. Julian talks about performance challenges in virtualized networks as well as where bottlenecks occur and why. OnApp's approach to addressing these challenges includes software-defined storage architecture enhancements, as well as leveraging programmable hardware to optimize IO. OnApp’s enterprise cloud appliance combines Intel hardware with OnApp’s private/hybrid cloud software platform – a complete solution for building private clouds, managing private and public cloud infrastructure, and automating the way IT resources are accessed and consumed by users and departments.

Narendar Shankar, President of OnApp Americas, joins this episode of Conversations in the Cloud to discuss a wide array of topics from OnApp and Intel’s private cloud-in-a-box, to artificial intelligence in the cloud infrastructure domain. Intel and OnApp deliver private cloud-in-a-box, which is put together with OnApp software and Intel hardware and giving Intel channel partners and other businesses a very reliable cloud solution. Narendar discusses the resurrection of the private cloud and the value of running workloads in-house, on-premises. To learn more go to http://www.onapp.com or http://www.onapp.com/intel.
