heleos

Embrane’s heleos™ is the industry’s first multi-service, distributed software platform that powers on-demand virtual network services such as server load balancing, firewalls and VPN termination. Purpose-built for those offering cloud infrastructure as a service, heleos delivers the agility - rapid procurement and provisioning, elasticity, multi-tenancy at scale and programmability - and cost savings users expect with the cloud.

A software-based solution, the heleos platform runs on industry-standard x86 servers and any hypervisor technology to eliminate vendor lock-in. It leverages a distributed virtual architecture that decouples network services functionality from the underlying physical infrastructure and hypervisor technology, providing high scalability, flexibility and performance.

With the heleos platform, a typical network service can be procured, provisioned and configured in less than two minutes. heleos-powered services are also elastic and can be grown/shrunk, depending on specific business requirements, in less than 30 seconds.  The platform comprises two distinct components for provisioning and enabling these agile layer 4/7 network services for cloud infrastructure: heleos Distributed Virtual Appliances and the heleos Elastic Services Manager.
