Si jie new cloudstack exerting force public cloud Platform

In the recently held Cloud Connect 2012 exhibition, Si Jie company launched the Citrix Cloudstack 3, this is also last year Si Jie acquisition cloud.com Cloudstack platform after the first release. At present, Cloudstack is the world's most successful public cloud platform, has helped at least 85 large-scale production cloud platform to achieve more than 1 billion dollars in operating revenue. The platform is a Java based open source cloud computing software that is designed to deploy or reduce the trivia associated with managing a large virtual machine network. Cloudstack 3 is Amazon-style, and it helps enterprise users who want to emulate the world's most successful cloud platform to build cloud facilities, quickly and easily into an automated, resilient, and self service Cloud platform.

In fact, 80% of cloud.com customers have used XenServer as their cloud-optimized virtual layer as early as last July when Citrix bought Cloud.com. "These two layers have worked together for a long time," said Sameer Dholakia, vice president and general manager of the newly established Jein Platform Product Division. That is to say, Cloudstack not only manages the kernel-based virtual machine Linux Kvm,vmware vsphere and Oracle Oracle VMS can also handle bare-metal configurations. In addition, Cloudstack will provide support for Microsoft Hyper-V next year. Dholakia said: "Our strategic core is not on the stack on any level of ' hold-up ' enterprises." ”

The newly launched Cloudstack 3 also insists on equal access to a variety of hypervisor programs and supports leading platforms such as KVM, OVM, vsphere, and Xen, including the cloud-optimized Citrix XenServer 6 version as the core standard feature. Amazon, Rackspace, Gogrid and SoftLayer have XenServer or Xen as the preferred virtualization platform in the world's five already-operational public cloud platforms. This high degree of consistency brings unprecedented scalability, manageability, security, multi-tenant features, and virtual exchange consolidation capabilities.

It is reported that since 2011 Si Jie acquired cloud.com, cloudstack.org Open Source Community's user participation has also increased 4 times times, the world has more than 25,000 cloud computing providers signed to join, and become an active member of the cloudstack.org community. In the past year, open source Cloudstack products have been downloaded more than 60,000 times, and the current monthly download volume on average 5 times times faster growth.

In addition, Si Jie has 70% of cloud creation business is with the telecommunications company to complete, including Korea Telecom, BT, Australia Telecom and other companies. These companies see Amazon's innovative model of working on the cloud as the biggest threat to their own traditional revenue streams. Dholakia also said: "Due to time and cost factors, many of the service providers we work with are creating multiple cloud solutions based on different virtual infrastructures." It is worth mentioning that they are all using cloudstack to manage these solutions. ”

Dholakia said: "As a cloud provider, creating a variety of virtual platforms has cost reasons." But it's understandable if you insist on using two separate tiers of allocation to manage them. ”

Jie acquired cloudportal by acquiring Cloud.com and Ems-cortex, and also gained the ability to layer the cloud stack. Cloudportal is a set of tools that enable service providers to install, including business processes such as running a public cloud, which provide functionality such as entry, account management, billing, and self-service provisioning.

For those who want to have local "class public cloud" services behind their firewalls, the strategy depends on mixed management. By deploying XenServer and Cloudstack together locally and on the cloud, customers can create a "cloud area" in the same management interface. These cloud areas can be connected to each other through Citrix's Cloud bridge products and run at the top of the company's NetScaler VPN tool. In this respect, Dohlakia said: "These are still the early application of our products." "But he thinks the public cloud will certainly penetrate the business sector in the future."
