Orange Box is now available. It is a portable server cluster. Canonical uses it to demonstrate and train OpenStack cloud based on Ubuntu.

The Orange Box just released by Canonical is a portable server cluster used by the company to demonstrate OpenStack, MAAS, Juju and other cloud services based on Ubuntu Linux.

The following is an introduction to it.

For those who have just reached it, it is important to understand what Orange Box is: it is not a hardware product that Canonical uses for profit. So far, the company has not said it plans to sell these devices on a large scale. If you really want to buy one, the approximate price is $12,900, which comes from the contract manufacturer TranquilPC Limited.

Orange Box is a tool to persuade enterprises to invest money in Ubuntu-based cloud computing. Canonical founder Mark irworth announced the Ubuntu OpenStack strategy last month, a key part of the strategy and part of the company's OpenStack training program called Jumpstart.

As part of Jumpstart, Canonical will lend the Orange Box to its partners so that their employees can practice configuring OpenStack and related software on the Ubuntu cluster. Canonical staff will also provide consultations during the training.

Except for the purpose of training, Orange Box looks really cool. It is equipped with 10 intel NUC instances and integrates a total of gb ram, memory GB storage space, and 10 core i5 processors, which provide powerful computing power in a pocket space.

Even better, the pre-installed software of Orange Box laid a good foundation for starting cloud Technology Based on Ubuntu.

However, for Canonical, the real test is to ensure that enterprises can benefit from Orange Box. They are not just for partners to experience good hardware devices, but to experience Ubuntu cloud in a truly convincing way, to attract IT decision makers to choose the next-generation cloud infrastructure built by Ubuntu.
