Apache CloudStack an open source solution that allows us keep in touch with the worldwide community of contributors whose maintain its source code and working actively of creation of new functionalities, fixing bugs and helping other users solve their problems. The software also permits a quick scalability of hardware. For end users, the interface provides the experience of total control of your resources as if they had mini data-center
- New functionalities
- Fixing bugs
- Private and public clouds
- Sometimes you can find undocumented bugs
- It fails in the area where instead of making stuff that works bug free it introduces new ones with every minor or major release
- More Rigid
Whether our clients are VPS hosting providers or operate private cloud infrastructure for their internal enterprise requirements, CloudStack provides solutions in an easy to implement and operate way that is simple to provide training for.
The learning curve for our customesr adopting CloudStack for the management of their cloud infrastructure is shallow, enabling our clients to come up to speed quickly without having to outsource their administrative functions any longer than necessary
- Delivering Infrastructure as a Service to University community. Resources are applied on research, management and education.
- Before that, there were a lot of local data centers spread trough the University (considering all campus). Using cloud computing with CloudStack, the operational cost was significantly decreasead
- Our need was in a low-cost product, not complex, with low maintenance, resilient, able to orchestrate a large pool of IT equipment
Excellent Cost Benefit Solution
- The software permits a quick scalability of hardware.
- For end users, the interface provides the experience of total control of their resources as if they had a mini data center.
- Allow us to set resource limits and quotas for user accounts.
- VPN site-to-site allows interconnection between the cloud environment and the client local data center.
- VPC feature allow interconnection between two or more user accounts without the need to internet routing.
- Sometimes you can find undocumented bugs that can compromise the entire infrastructure.
- [If] you don't have an official support channel, you have try to find out the source of the problem by yourself.
- Volume size limitation. Other players allow you to create volumes up to 64TB while ACS allows only 2TB volumes
- Minimal impact at migration from the earlier solution used (Citrix CloudPortal), once both solutions have a common kernel.
- Reduction to 0 with payment of software license.
