Rackspace Cloud Block Storage

Rackspace last week released a new storage service-block storage (Cloud blocks Storage). This service complements Rackspace's existing cloud storage services, especially for databases and other applications that require high speed I/O. Users can choose traditional disk storage, or more high-performance SSD. In terms of price, disk storage is 15 cents GB Month, SSD Price is 70 cents GB month. Figure: Rackspace Block Storage provides SSD selection users can from 1GB to ...

According to Gartner, about 19% of organizations are using cloud services in production calculations, and about 20% of organizations are using public cloud storage services. This means that the cloud computing market, especially the cloud storage market, is quite large. Gartner once made a forecast that in 2012, cloud computing spending amounted to $109 billion trillion, an increase of 20% per cent year-on-year. Cloud computing is a big industry, and today many manufacturers are claiming to have a cloud strategy. Gartner recently released the top ten list of cloud storage vendors, which are basically able to provide some enterprise-class ...

Cloud computing has been evolving, with new demands for IT job skills evolving, such as platform upgrade capabilities, cloud automation and portability, and cloud-centric tools. Rackspace will deliver the content to users after 2013, while its chief technology officer, John Engates, said he also provided some details on cloud trends and what we can expect from cloud hosting providers in the coming year. Reporter: How Cloud Computing Will Change Their Lives for General IT Staff in 2013 ...

With the wide application of server virtualization, cloud computing technology has become the next direction of utility computing, in the era of cloud computing, we can consume computing resources like power resources and pay on demand. Cloud storage applications are derived from Amazon's S3 services (simple Storage service) and are quickly emulated by other service operators. However, poor performance and concerns about security are always shrouded in cloud storage, which has eclipsed many of its benefits and hindered the technology's entry into the mainstream ...

OpenStack actually has three storage-related components, and these three components are well known to coincide with the timing of the component itself, arranged as follows: swift--provides object storage, which is conceptually similar to Amazon S3 Services, However, Swift is highly scalable, redundant, and persistent, and also compatible with the S3 API glance--provides virtual machine mirroring (image) storage and management, including many with Amazon AMI catalog ...

In this article you will learn that there are three different ways to implement hybrid cloud computing in your data storage environment. We will provide detailed information on the different cloud software options you can choose and help you understand which one is best for your organization. When traditional storage systems or internal cloud computing storage use public cloud computing storage, hybrid cloud computing comes naturally. However, some key requirements need to be met in order to allow mixed cloud computing to work properly. The first and most important point is that a hybrid cloud computing storage service must behave like a similar storage device. Apart from...

Object Storage Startups scality add their storage to Hadoop, allowing users to avoid loading data through Hadoop's own file system. They also launched a plug-in for cinder--'s block storage layer in the OpenStack project. The ring is an object storage infrastructure based on a set of X86 server nodes that stores objects instead of files or blocks, and can operate in parallel. Scality offers a "production-level Hadoop storage Implementation" using cdmi--developed and promoted by SNIa ...

The advent of the 4G era, enterprise data faced with explosive growth, mobile TB; At the same time, human factors, software defects, uncontrollable natural disasters and other security problems occur frequently, how to make the enterprise data security and reliable, low-cost and efficient long-term preservation, has become an urgent concern for any enterprise. Fortunately, the cloud era accompanied by the 4G era, the core advantages of cloud computing: cost-effective, resource allocation, infrastructure flexibility, business smooth switching, bandwidth and storage unlimited expansion features. Multi-backup cloud backup, cloud recovery, cloud archiving and other special ...

"Editor's note" OpenStack Paris summit just ended, some participants feel is: the manufacturers look at each other, not many users. Also some people are asking: OpenStack in the end rely on not reliable, have got the case of shot? In this article, Unitedstack founder and CEO Chenghui in the Paris summit, the OpenStack Ecological circle of commercial companies in the inventory. Chenghui said: "OpenStack has been too high expectations of the peak, is experiencing a bubble in the bottom of the valley, for startups, this is the hardest time, this is the most ...
