today unveiled , a software platform for network service providers enabling them to seamlessly federate cloud-based virtual data centers with on-demand, intercloud WAN connectivity. Using cloudScape, network service providers can deliver integrated multi-cloud solutions relying on their own public or managed private cloud assets as well as third-party public clouds such as (AWS), , , and others. More importantly, by leveraging the provider–s own network assets, cloudScape allows network service providers to offer a much more complete and open cloud product to their enterprise customers than those available from large public cloud providers.
Founded in 2013 by industry veterans Vivek Ragavan and Sig Luft, Siaras has leveraged the deep networking roots of its technical team in order to solve real and intractable problems inherent in cloud computing as enterprises contemplate moving more mission critical apps to the cloud.
Siaras president and CEO Ragavan sees open cloud-to-WAN integration as “an important enabler to much broader cloud adoption, especially infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). Despite widespread growth thus far, cloud operators have largely picked off the –low-hanging apps– that can operate quite well with unmanaged internet connectivity. Continued growth requires a more cloud-like approach to the WAN.”
Siaras cloudScape
Siaras cloudScape, which allows service providers to build “overclouds” with multiple heterogeneous data center and WAN “underclouds” provides the following functions:
According to Michael Howard, co-founder and principal analyst with , “There is no question that Siaras has identified a significant problem area. Enterprises today face two suboptimal alternatives with regard to intercloud WAN connectivity. They can sacrifice performance and possibly even security by using the internet. Or they can accept the long turn up times, lengthy contracts, and service inflexibility associated with existing dedicated connectivity products. Siaras offers an open method for making WAN connectivity available in a cloud-like manner.”
Siaras recently completed a proof of concept with in Tokyo, which provides extensive network and data center products to its large enterprise customer base and is partnering with Siaras to combine these diverse assets into a comprehensive offering for their customers.

About Siaras
Siaras was founded to help network service providers unify their two most vital assets: networks and cloud data centers. The result is cloudScape, an open software platform that allows network service providers to seamlessly combine multiple underclouds (private, managed private, and public) and requisite intercloud WAN connectivity into a single, more complete cloud offering for their enterprise customers.
