After the acquisition by Citrix Systems in July more than $ 200 million, Cloud.com CloudStack cloud management framework is now open source. The software supports more than 60 large-scale production of clouds, including those which are currently run, GoDaddy, GreenQloud, KT, Nokia, Tata communications and Zynga. With the release of the CloudStack also adds support for additional hypervisors and support naked iron.
Cloud.com, which was launched in May 2010, gives the company its own private, EC-2 as infrastructure. However, the company acknowledges that he often used her name ("Cloud.com") alternating with open-source project CloudStack much confusion. In fact, Cloud.com previous two separate code bases-one for customers and users of open source software. Last week both code bases were merged into one under GPL v3 license GPU. The code can be downloaded from cloudstack.org.
In addition with the launch of the CloudStack 2.2.10 at VMworld Conference 2011, in Las Vegas this week, the framework now supports the VMware ESXi hypervisor recently and Oracle VM 5.0. X 2 Xen hypervisor options to complement the range of VMware, KVM and Xen Hypervisors that it already supports. Support for Microsoft Hyper-V will arrive later this year. And as before with CloudStack, customers can mix and match multiple Hypervisors, property and open source and use them to an instance of a highly available cloud computing.
Other new feature bare iron, which allows customers to set up bare metal hosts that do not run a hypervisor software. They can be managed using the management server in the same cloud CloudStack as virtual instances.
Cloud.com also said that he works for the convergence of functions from the IaaS cloud computing project OpenStack Citrix that counts among its most significant contingents CloudStack. Citrix and in the future will bring together engineers CloudStack OpenStack storage (Swift) with CloudStack and will work to allow CloudStack Management server and a Web interface to manage instances of the kernel OpenStack.
