Yes, you can adapt a cloud in a USB key.
Founded by a number of the brain, which has become pregnant OpenStack - platform open-source software to build Amazon-like "cloud infrastructure" - San Francisco startup Stitch Cloud Computing has reduced the platform on a Memory Stick to simplify the creation of such clouds behind a firewall.
Set for unveiling to the open-stack next week's conference in Boston, this "key cloud" includes piston is based on Linux Pentos. According to the company when deployed in a key network switch allows you to configure an open cell cloud in a few minutes.
"This is the startup disk of your private cloud", says CEO Joshua McKenty piston Wired, and said the key was inspired by the old firewall Linux-based mobile floppyfw. "It takes all the settings on the hardware side. Let the program is contained in the servers to work."
McKenty the way described, a key administrator connects to a PC and sets the parameters of a cloud - an online service that provides access to highly scalable resources, including computing power and storage. A technician takes the key in the data center and connects to the network switch in a rack of servers. According McKenty, Pentos load the appropriate servers automatically detects and configures the cloud.
Cloud set to ram the key is presentation of the conference next week in Boston OpenStack. In addition, to facilitate the installation process, you will improve the safety of "private cloud". McKenty key, he says, you can limit an employee to access the server, and is one of the first products to adopt cloud auditorium, newly standard designed to ensure that the cloud follows the Federal Internet Security Management Act, HIPAA, PCI and other legal requirements.
McKenty was technical architect of the project of NASA Nebula, an effort to build an Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure-like to use within the European Space Agency and the entire federal government. Last year, NASA open source code behind the project, and he was soon joined Rackspace vendors to create open-cell project. The code was nebulous platform open stack and open source Rackspace code for the storage platform.
NASA originally built nebula with Eucalyptus, an open source project started at the University of California at Santa Barbara. But after the foundation launched a home for the Eucalyptus platform marketing, the space agency has estimated that the project was not as open as could be, could not contribute the code you need help. At least in part, OpenStack is a response to these frustrations.
"We are committed to maintain this openness," McKenty said before the piston hosts have meetings every week with what could be considered as competitors in the space of cloud computing. They share the same beer, he adds. But it has a very different approach than VMware, which occupies the same space with its own platform vCloud. "Linux is against VMWare vs Microsoft OpenStack again," he said.
