Our Wordle

CohesiveFT is the leader in onboarding solutions for virtual infrastructure and cloud computing. The team that has brought this product suite to market have decades of enterprise management experience and a cloud-oriented engineering organization that has solved many of the needs of the cloud user from virtual server assembly time (Elastic Server®) through to virtual topology boot time (Context-Cubed™ - Private Beta contact us for more info) all wrapped by a secure, user driven virtual network where the user and their organization control addressing, protocol, topology and security of their communications in, between, and to the clouds (VPN-Cubed®).

Elastic Server
Virtual Server Life Cycle Management (VSLM) framework designed for managing virtual machines from inception, through deployment, and into secure archive for forensics. The Elastic Server supports all major virtual environments - allowing consistent deployment across multiple cloud providers. Elastic Server is available as a web-based On-Demand Edition, On-Premise Edition, and Cloud Hosted Edition.

VPN-Cubed
VPN-Cubed, our cloud networking control and security offering, forms the foundation for our Secure Cloud Container Solutions.  VPN-Cubed Managers are hybrid devices; they are virtual routers, virtual switches, SSL VPN concentrators, IPSec VPN concentrators, and protocol re-distributors, configurable in a mesh.  They can be used to run key business computing topologies that have been moved to a cloud, but need secure access to the corporate datacenter.  They can be used to provision development infrastructure on the fly - allowing "N" identical copies of virtual servers to be run simultaneously - identical down to its IP address.  Integrating with existing edge and DMZ equipment like IPSec extranet boxes, intrusion prevention, intrusion detection and stateful inspection VPN-Cubed doesn't require new knowledge or training to implement.  Enterprise application topologies can be easily deployed in a controlled global network, accessible by staff, customers and partners alike, all under the application owner's control.

Context-Cubed - Private Beta
A cloud topology management server that manages Boot-Time commands for launching virtual servers and for controlling running vm's in an overlay network. Contextualization information for each type of server in a topology, and for each target deployment environment is retained in XML form to allow for audit-able versioning and role based security.
