Detailed private cloud solutions five major types

Over the past year, the customer's problem with cloud computing has been "what is the cloud?" What kind of manufacturer should I consider? "Are covered. And today's business people are becoming more knowledgeable, and many have decided to use cloud strategies to deliver more effective IT services. Vendors are also seizing the opportunity to start offering solutions in this area to accelerate the IaaS implementation of the customer data center.

According？ Forrest's Market Profile: 2011 Private Cloud Solution Survey, we found five types of private cloud solutions. Here's a simple introduction to these five private cloud solutions. In addition, we also found that countless manufacturers to introduce products as a private cloud solution, resulting in confusion in the market. Based on these five categories, we have selected some vendors that meet the basic standards of private cloud. The key difference is that the vendors listed below have a service automation background that can deploy multiple virtual machine applications in a single step.

Enterprise System Management Vendors: BMC, CA, IBM, and Newscale

In most cases, these vendors enter the private cloud market and are repackaged into private cloud packages with existing management tools for the cloud. So they redefine their products, are more tightly integrated across components, and can control cloud environments, where the cloud environment includes the flexible computing cloud for VMware Vcloud director and Amazon Web Service (Elastic Compute Cloud). The BMC's Cloud Lifecycle Manager is its bladelogic automation tool, which is widely used in enterprise public clouds and traditional hosting providers. Similarly, the CA starts with its service automation technology, building a complete solution from its service assurance and virtualization management tools. IBM has packaged a range of Tivoli System Management tools in its offerings and integrated its converged infrastructure, and IBM Cloudburst is a hardware and software solution. The recent Cisco takeover of Newscale mainly provides a robust classification of enterprise services. Cisco includes it in its more complete automation products, but this product has a strong reliance on the underlying virtualization platform automation capabilities.

OS Management program vendors: Microsoft and VMware

Each leading management program vendor builds a private cloud solution on top of the management program layer. VMware's Vcloud director is one of the most advanced of these products, providing complete interest-plan infrastructure control and a robust multi-tenant architecture, but it only supports the vsphere hypervisor platform. Microsoft's Hyper-V cloud is a multiple solution capable of managing vsphere, Xen, and Hyper-V. This solution is built around Microsoft's system Center Virtual Machine Manager. For now, it's more like a virtualization manager than a complete private cloud solution because of the lack of a robust self-service portal.

Converged Infrastructure Solutions: Dell and HP

These solutions combine hardware and software into a rapidly deployable private cloud solution. HP Cloudsystem is a single vendor solution that integrates HP's range of software components from HP's Enterprise Services and device management software portfolio. Its management software can also be purchased separately from the hardware; This product is now being sold as an HP Cloud service don (HP Cloud Services Automation) (CSA). Dell's solution is built on its internal and partner software, including creator, a workload automation tool from Dynamicops.

Professional Cloud Solutions: abiquo, cloud.com, enomaly and Eucalyptus

The vendors in this category do not have enterprise system management assets, so they are dedicated to building private cloud solutions for private cloud. So their products can be more tightly integrated, but definitely different. Every manufacturer uses a different approach, so it is good at different places. The abiquo brings together virtual resource pools, like different management programs or private cloud/public clouds, to provide a robust management interface for tenant managers. Cloud.com (has been acquired by Citrix) focuses on and delivers a concise cloud solution that provides an integrated user interface and high scalability. Enomaly and eucalyptus are a simpler solution for more advanced managers and developers. Both have strong public cloud connectivity.

Grid-derived solutions: Hexagrid, Platform Computing and TIBCO

Vendors in this field have grid-computing assets that serve as the basis for their solutions. Platform (IBM acquired) ISF builds on its workload manager, providing a solution that uses its history of managing multiple grid projects as its multi-tenant and self-service portal base. Tibco's silver fabric is based on fabricserver,fabricserver is a solution that allows grid infrastructure to be used by non grid applications. Hexagrid's debut is accompanied by its Vxdatacenter product, which is not the original grid management solution that its builders use to start building this product with their own experience. Its key difference in its user interface.

The vendors listed above are primarily already available solutions and provide all the core functionality of a proprietary IAAS environment with complete customer support references. More and more manufacturers have announced their private cloud solutions, such as Cisco, Jie, Fujitsu, Nimbula, Red Hat ... There are also more vendors providing remote cloud environment management services, so we do not need to strengthen the management of the cloud environment of professional practice. Also to remind you that the use of managed private cloud solutions, deployment and management are carried out by the service provider, so in accordance with their own interests.
