Inventor's Paradox

This post is a place where I would note prices relating to Cloud Storage. As A consumer Amazon : S3 (Simple Storage Service) : $0.03 /GB/month for first TB  (ref: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/) Glacier : $0.01 /GB/month EC2 Elastic Block Storage : SSD $0.1 /GB/month  magnetic : $0.05 /GB/month  + $0.05 /million IO Google : (ref : https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing) Standard Storage : $0.026 /GB/month, $0.01 /GB/month nearline   Microsoft sells: (ref : https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/plans/) 15 GB : free 100 GB : $1.99 /month (means  $0.019 /GB/month) 200 GB : $3.99 /month 1 TB : $7 / month (include Office 365) As a provider  SwiftStack controller : (http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/storage-soup/swiftstack-enters-software-defined-storage-race/) subscription : $10 / TB/month (means $0.01 /GB/month) EMC VIPR :  (http://silvertonconsulting.com/blog/2013/09/30/emc-vipr-virtues...

VMware player shows us that virtualization has many benefits even on a dual processor laptop. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) sets the cloud computing standard, shows us that cloud computing is feasible and could be cheap (after all, they only make us pay for hourly usage). So here in 2012 we found that there are so many open source cloud computing solutions out there.. Core Service Virtualization is provided by several commonly known hypervisors : VMWare vSphere . This one is not open source at all. Xen . Xen was a mature hypervisor that were fully open-sourced by Citrix in 2009. There are open source version (Xen Cloud Platform), free version (XenServer Free), and paid version. Kernel-based Virtual Machine ( KVM ). KVM is  an open source virtualization software that tightly integrated with the Linux kernel as the host OS.  On top of these core hypervisors is built more GUI and Management layer, resulting in cloud computing platforms. Cloud computing pl...

Dashboard CloudStack Pada April 2012 Apache menerima CloudStack dari Citrix sebagai salah satu project open source di Apache Incubator. CloudStack merupakan platform software yang mengumpulkan sumberdaya-sumberdaya komputasi menjadi sebuah Cloud IaaS (infrastructure as a service). Bayangkanlah Amazon EC2 yang dapat diinstall di data center pribadi kita. Service Offering - mirip Amazon EC2 Dengan CloudStack, kita bisa memberikan layanan cloud ke user kita.. Mereka dapat melaunch Server sesuai keinginan asalkan masih di batas kuota dan kapasitas sistem. Pilihan Template VM Sebenarnya komponen utama CloudStack adalah aplikasi web berbasis Java yang melakukan provisioning ke software hypervisor berupa XenServer, VMWare, ataupun KVM. Sebuah Cluster dalam terminologi CloudStack adalah sekumpulan host yang dikendalikan oleh hypervisor yang seragam.   Apa yang didapat dari CloudStack antara lain : Manajemen sentral berbasis web berfitur Ajax untuk VM-VM ber...
