HyperGrid announced the next phase of HyperGrid to include HyperCloud, its on-premises pay as you use pricing model. It also announced the addition of new hybrid cloud decision intelligence features, which were added from the company’s recent acquisition of XOcur.
“Delivering unified cloud services, quickly, simply and in a pay as you use model on premises is groundbreaking for the enterprise. I am not aware of any other company in the world that can combine these capabilities with the ability to manage multiple clouds using a single platform,” said Nariman Teymourian, HyperGrid CEO and president. “By continuing to grow the capabilities that HyperCloud provides and simplifying how it is delivered, we are bringing our unique service value proposition to an ever-growing base of client use cases.”
The HyperCloud service is its fully managed service offered as an on-premises pay as you use model, and this news comes on the heels of HyperGrid’s announcement last year of HyperCloud, its on-premises cloud-as-a-service.

AtScale releases AtScale 5.5
AtScale introduced AtScale 5.5, its flagship and patented software solution that provides key capabilities required to make BI on any Big Data platform work.
“Historically, data stored in data lakes goes unused because the organization has not figured out a way to match the performance, security or business tool integration they created with their legacy system,” said Matt Baird, CTO and co-founder at AtScale. “When they deploy AtScale, customers not only get better performance than traditional systems, they can do it on unlimited data and seamless end-user experience.”
With the 5.5 release, AtScale enhanced its ability to handle complex multi-fact models. The release includes improved unrelated cell handling to support multi-level metrics for use cases like sales planning. Also in 5.5, users can deploy all AtScale services in a “hot-hot” deployment mode.
