Snapdeal's Launches New Cloud - Snapdeal Cirrus
Snapdeal launches its own cloud – Snapdeal Cirrus
Snapdeal Cirrus will be
one of the largest OpenStack based hybrid cloud deployments in the world –
According to Snapdeal
Snapdeal
cloud is built entirely on open source with OpenStack at the center, making it
not just an industry-first in India, but also one of the largest OpenStack
deployments of a hybrid cloud anywhere in the world. Snapdeal Cirrus spans
across three data center regions, with a highly dense server architecture of
100,000 cores, 16 PB of storage and a robust 100G SDN infrastructure – an
investment made by very few companies globally.
Snapdeal Cirrus is a true hybrid cloud, which expands
seamlessly to public and abstracts the underlying infrastructure away from the
applications, so they can be dynamically assigned to run in different parts of
the cloud.
The private cloud solution has been built and
operationalized in under a year and is timed to handle long-term growth in
traffic. The launch follows a sustained increase in online traffic at Snapdeal,
where millions of users regularly browse, buy, make online payments and track
shipments till delivery. The launch will also satiate fast growing demand for
crunching big data to build personalized and relevant experiences for
consumers. This move will enable Snapdeal to ensure that business growth is
augmented with platform speed, security and stability.
The addition of Snapdeal Cirrus to Snapdeal’s innovative
technology platform, is expected to yield not just great cost savings, but will
also lead to exponential performance gains across its applications, providing a
still more reliable and frictionless experience to customers across India.
Commenting
on the launch, Rajiv Mangla, Chief Technology Officer, Snapdeal said,
“Snapdeal was born in the cloud, but public clouds stops being cost efficient
after a scale, which became the case for Snapdeal sometime last year. In a
short span of 10 months, we have succeeded in building an extremely resilient,
scalable and secure solution. Snapdeal Cirrus is a fully automated software
defined data center and cloud platform, where infrastructure is built and
managed as code. We are extremely proud of what our team has achieved —
Snapdeal Cirrus is one of the few successful examples globally of a large
hybrid cloud built at a scale of public cloud, purely using open source
technologies like OpenStack and Ceph.”
Jonathan
Bryce, Executive Director of the OpenStack Foundation, said, “At
more than 100,000 cores and 16 petabytes of storage, Snapdeal Cirrus is one of
the largest OpenStack deployments globally. Retail is one of the fastest
growing vertical markets for OpenStack, and Snapdeal is among a growing group
of ecommerce players outside of North America who are embracing OpenStack and
the open source approach in delivering services and innovation to their
customers.”
Digital commerce in India is in the early stages of
growth with about 80 million online shoppers, which is expected to grow to 175
million by 2020.
