SoftIron has unveiled major updates to its HyperCloud and VM Squared platforms, introducing post-quantum encryption to combat emerging cybersecurity threats. These Q4 2024 releases position both platforms as the first quantum-safe cloud and virtualization solutions, addressing the growing need for secure IT infrastructure in a world increasingly threatened by quantum computing.

HyperCloud offers private cloud capabilities with the agility of public cloud services, designed for on-premises deployment. The platform allows businesses to scale compute, storage, and networking independently, improving operational efficiency. VM Squared, meanwhile, provides a streamlined alternative to legacy virtualization systems like VMware’s vSphere, integrating easily with existing IT setups while offering rapid installation and enhanced security features.

Both platforms now utilize post-quantum cryptography for securing data-in-transit and at-rest, adhering to FIPS 203 standards. According to CTO Kenny Van Alstyne, these upgrades ensure that businesses remain ahead of potential quantum threats while maintaining scalability and efficiency. Additionally, the platforms include the Glasshouse UI, providing real-time monitoring and advanced management tools.

By delivering these forward-looking solutions, SoftIron demonstrates its commitment to secure cloud infrastructure, setting a new benchmark in the industry as quantum computing looms on the horizon.

This innovation comes as enterprises increasingly prioritize security and scalability, making SoftIron’s offering a key player in future-proofing IT infrastructures.
