Cloud.com CloudStack

Cloud.com, a vendor of open source cloud computing software, has joined the NetApp Alliance Partner Program.

As part of this collaboration, Cloud.com CloudStack, an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform, seamlessly integrates with NetApp storage systems and simplifies how customers can build, deploy and manage public and private cloud environments, for improved IT flexibility and efficiency.

This integration with NetApp gives Cloud.com the ability to directly integrate with the NetApp OnCommand management software to help automate provisioning volumes on the storage system, create Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) of administrator-specified sizes, and perform LUN masking.

Cloud.com has also integrated, tested, and validated CloudStack with NetApp unified storage systems, allowing customers to continue to use the NetApp Data ONTAP platform, which effectively creates and manages storage pools and devices requiring ever-increasing capacity and bandwidth.

Cloud.com currently enables over 50 large-scale production clouds in deployment that have been built on its market-leading open source cloud computing solution including KT, Tata Communications, Nokia Research Center, GreenQloud and Profitability.net.

Cloud.com technologies can be deployed on-premise or as hosted cloud services.

Open source cloud computing software company Cloud.com recently announced that Appcore, a global business information systems provider, is using the company’s flagship product, CloudStack, for its private cloud computing platform.

Appcore technology includes such a platform, the global Appcore Cloud Network, Appcore Second Site for disaster recovery, and Appcore Cloud Onsite, which allows enterprises to run the platform behind its firewall or in any of Appcore’s global clouds.

One of the key reasons Appcore is using Cloud.com CloudStack is due to its open source model and therefore Appcore’s ability to see the code prior to making its selection. In addition to the benefits of open source that CloudStack delivers, Appcore has gained an easy-to-use user interface for customer self-service administration that can decrease operating costs by freeing up
