"'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," said Rajiv Mangla, Chief Technology Officer, Snapdeal, in a statement.

The launch of "Snapdeal Cirrus" will also satiate the fast-growing demand for crunching big data to build personalised and relevant experiences for consumers, the company added.
