The FluidCloud startup wants to make it easier for companies to move their applications between cloud providers. Its new platform helps companies to copy and move their infrastructure from one cloud to another – a process that often lasts for months – with a few clicks.
The FluidCloud platform works by scanning the existing cloud settings of the company’s cloud and its conversion into a reusable plan. This plan can then be used to quickly rebuild the same settings to different cloud providers. This tool supports common elements such as calculation, network, storage, access control and security settings. It also helps teams to stay on top of the cost and changes in their cloud.
“Businesses deserve freedom to choose the best seller for every workload,” said Sharad Kumar, CEO and co -founder of FluidCloud. “We built a fluidcloud to help the teams move quickly, build intelligent and negotiate from the position of strength.”
The idea of fluidcloud is rooted in a common problem. Many companies want flexibility to change the cloud provider, but considers this process too expensive, slow and complex. Although migration succeeds, it often leads to new addiction to the instructions of another provider. This limits flexibility and can let customers get stuck during increase or prices.
To solve this, FluidCloud created a system of AI agents trained to scan and copy the entire cloud setting – including each virtual computer, database, security rule and balancer – and cloned on a new platform. Once it is done, the platform creates a new CI/CD pipe, so developers can run the same application on a new provider with only small changes.
As mentioned SiliconangleKumar compared traditional cloud migration with the conversion of the whole city while it is still running. “Every building, road, tool and security checkpoint needs to be rebuilt – all in maintaining live services,” he said. AI FluidCloud seeks to automate this process using a program mapping engine that supports more cloud providers and understands the basic layers of each.
The company says its platform is built to process extensive systems such as systems used by global applications with hundreds of micro -service. According to Kumar, FluidCloud can replicate this environment on providers like Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, which allows teams to decide if they want to run in multiple cloaks or turn off the original settings.
In addition to facilitating migration, the company believes that its tool gives customers more negotiating power. If moving to another cloud becomes as easy as clicking on a button, it is less likely that they will feel stuck – and cloud providers can offer better offers to keep their business. “We do cloud providers to compete for your business,” Kumar said.
FluidCloud has recently received $ 8.1 million to finance seeds from unusual businesses. John Vrionis’s control partner said the platform has been solving a problem that has been slowing down the engineering team for years. “It should not require a year of professional services,” he said.
One of the first support is the Vurt Cloud provider who sees FluidCloud as a way to help customers to switch from larger providers such as AWS. “It is a game trailer for customers who appreciate the cloud freedom and want flexibility to be innovated on the platforms they choose,” said Mirdul Swarup, defender of developers at Vultr.
Kumar did not publish how many customers have so far used the platform. However, the company is a way to provide business more options in the way it manages its infrastructure.
