Read MoreRecently we’ve seen an explosion of new ideas based on the ‘cloud computing’ concept, and the chances are that many of you want to participate in this lucrative market as well. So what features do you need to provide to offer virtual servers ‘in the cloud’? These are the fundamentals:
There are plenty of very complicated solutions in development. Unfortunately, most of these offerings are not straightforward enough for regular users. Some of the best-known cloud service providers still rely on complex CLI and API access to cloud resources, which creates a barrier to adoption for users without the necessary technical skills.
Fortunately, there are solutions which make it possible to deploy and sell products for cloud computing very quickly, without that complexity. One of the fastest-growing is a cloud platform called OnApp, which works with Open-E products to enable the deployment of fast, low cost and easy-to-use cloud computing services.
So how does it work?
With OnApp cloud software and Open-E DSS V6, it’s easy to set up different kinds of hosted cloud services, including “by-the-hour” public cloud hosting, and Private Clouds. This set-up includes all of the fundamental cloud features described above, as standard.
The storage cluster runs on two storage servers with DSS V6 iSCSI Failover. The OnApp cloud platform has two main components: the OnApp Controller, and Hypervisors. OnApp and DSS v6 are both easy to deploy and easy to manage solutions.
Together they make it possible for almost any service provider to get into cloud hosting without the cost and complexity of other solutions. If you’re planning to move ‘to the cloud’, you should definitely check this out!
