Company

6fusion is an innovative Utility Metered Cloud company that has emerged in this new era of utility computing with a refreshing vision for the future, cutting-edge technologies and a unique commercial business model.

There is a fundamental shift taking place in the way technology resources are delivered and supported. Virtualization and consolidation have forever changed the face of computing and server utilization by promising resource efficiency and reducing the hardware footprint. Meanwhile, technology-as-a-service and cloud based delivery models are emerging as the computing trend of the future, where users pay service providers only for exactly the amount of technology they use in a pay-as-you-go utility model, instead of buying and managing sprawling environments of software, hardware, and support services.

About 6fusion

6fusion was founded in 2008 by John Cowan and Delano Seymour with a big idea in mind:  To make accessing, consuming and billing commodity simple and globally ubiquitous.

Cowan and Seymour believed that in order for a true market for cloud computing to emerge, there needed to be a better way to measure compute, storage and network, both for users as well as suppliers.

This lead to the development of an algorithm to radically simplify the metering, consumption and billing of compute, storage and network resources. They called this the Workload Allocation Cube, or WAC. The WAC is the most granular and universal metric for metering and delivering cloud computing on the market today.

To learn more about how the WAC is redefining the cloud market, feel free to contact 6fusion.

Next, 6fusion’s founders knew that in order to get the real benefit of the WAC there needed to be a vendor agnostic technology layer to accomplish two things:  Federate WAC suppliers and provide a customizable User Interface for users to access the suppliers resources.

So, they set out to create UC6 – 6fusion’s core cloud computing platform.  UC6 federates data centers that provide WAC measure resources around the world.  For subscribers, it provides a single pane of glass view into globally accessible and available resources to build, customize and manage cloud-based applications and distributed workloads.
