Importance of Analysis of Cloud Computing Company Rackspace

In 2007, Patrick Condon (Rackspace) said in an interview to thehostingnews.com, “We realized early on that this business was not about technology. You can fool yourself into thinking that it is ? the Internet, and bandwidth, and servers, and data centers which are all cutting-edge technology but at the end of the day anybody can build an awesome data center with a couple million dollars, anybody can buy bandwidth from the same providers that we buy bandwidth from, and anybody can buy Dell servers, or Compaq, or build their own.”

From the analysis of Cloud Computing Company series it is becoming apparent (which we pointed in previous article as well) - Respecting the Cloud Computing Business Model, is probably the most important to achieve success in the business field of  Cloud Computing.

Carrier Cloud derived from the terminology used in telecommunication – Carrier Class

Carrier Cloud derived from the terminology used in telecommunication – carrier class. Carrier Class are engineered to meet or exceed high availability standards. But, basically there is no standard exists for Carrier Cloud. Carrier Cloud integrates various aspects and attributes of Network Technology for high availability.

The Basics of Carrier Cloud

Carrier Cloud is not actually a neologism as many considers. The Cloud Computing we are using today has some bottlenecks as we are dependent on basically older structure of networking that was used for Server Technology. As the possible first approach of Cloud Computing was Public Cloud, to be specific, Software as a Service, no one estimated the probable weak points of it. For this reason, the concept of Carrier Cloud originated.

Cloud Computing India : Legal, Governmental and Social Scenario

RIM, Apple and Nokia are in favor of the Indian TANCS program (Tactical Cellular Network for Surveillance) and CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) has agreements for interception of mobile phone and data traffic in India. In early 2011 respected Indian Government tried to pass bill with history of previous failed attempts to establish a law on privacy, which was quite important for this topic Cloud Computing India. Kindly check if there is any update as we have not much knowledge on Law.

Probably you have heard of the existence of Lords of Dharmaraja. Lords of Dharmaraja is the name of a well mentionable hacker group operating in India. They are quite efficacious, they compromised Symantec’s products and threatened to publish the entire source code a Symantec’s product during hacking the servers of India’s Military Intelligence.

If you have started to sweat after reading this article on Cloud Computing India, there are more to add. As India has a growing GDP, it has always been a target by the terrorists. Do not underestimate the terrorist attacks – simply search in Google with “Mumbai terrorist attacks” (without quotation marks) and you will discover and later understand that,  Privacy issues of Cloud Computing India probably nothing than to imagine the whole datacenter is flipped by Bombs, practically you will have to suck your thumbs.

Private Cloud Platform Selection

Private Cloud Platform Selection has more than one reasons to take the latest packages under the magnifying glass and analyze to build private cloud for own. The names of Private Cloud Platform arise in this topic are OpenStack, VMWare, Microsoft, Eucalyptus, Cloud Stack, Red Hat Cloud, Cloud Foundry etc. We only can point you towards the positive and negative points of each Private Cloud Platform, but it is you who have to select the Private Cloud Platform yourself, simply as we can not promote any particular Private Cloud Platform.

Private Cloud Platform Selection Inside Out

Previously we discussed about Private Cloud through various articles. Private cloud environment is characterized by the concept that own data center or dedicated server can be connected with third party’s Private Cloud Platform. Companies can use Private Cloud Platform for their employees, departments and projects for scalable resources in the form of virtual machines as well as development platforms on demand. In addition to infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions , there is also approaches through Private Cloud Platform to deliver platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).

Selection of Private Cloud Platform

Private Cloud Platform

Eucalyptus : Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems. Eucalyptus is a software platform for the implementation of private cloud computing, its user-facing interface is compatible with the Amazon EC2 and S3 services. The eucalyptus core area consists of five components : cloud controller for managing the whole system, cluster controller for management of the virtual network, Node Controller to control the hypervisor and the operating system of nodes, Walrus is access management tool for the Storage Service and the storage controllers for storage service within Eucalyptus System. The name and fame of Eucalyptus Private Cloud Platform is quite well established. In June 2012, Eucalyptus Systems officially announced that their open source edition is now hosted on Github. Their Private Cloud Platform customers includes NASA, US FDA. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in April 2012, openly stated, ”There are many cloud products in the market place, but NIST has determined Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition is the only IaaS cloud management software currently on the market that is built open source and supports private and public cloud infrastructure.”

Open Stack / Rackspace Private Cloud Platform :  We wrote about Open Stack before. The Open Stack source code is freely available under the Apache 2.0 license. This gives the opportunity to develop own cloud solutions and improvements to be channeled back into the project. Rackspace as a company has one of the best customer support, be it Private Cloud Platform or Public Cloud. Customers includes DreamHost (oh yeah), Sony and more as Private Cloud Platform.

VMWare Private Cloud Platform : VMware offers Private Cloud Platform in addition to some public cloud solutions. This is not surprising, by the manufacturer of the pioneers in the field of virtualization softwares, a technology that is the key element of cloud computing. Southwest Airlines, Revlon are their proud Private Cloud Platform customers.

Microsoft Private Cloud Platform : Microsoft System Center is the direct interface to the user. As the control center responsible for the System Center Configuration; provisioning, monitoring and operation of the cloud infrastructure, it is easier to handle Private Cloud Platform. Microsoft provides free trials, link to download Microsoft Private Cloud Evaluation Software etc. for evaluation of their Private Cloud Platform. As usually, all softwares for Private Cloud Platform of Microsoft is proprietary.
