Cloud Computing « すでにそこにある雲

NASA Nebula はたしか、Eucalyptus から始まって、(たぶん)スケールの問題があり、独自開発で Nova という OSS Cloud stack を少し前に発表したばっかりでしたね。RackSpace のOZONE と Nova、Cloud files を OSS 化すると。ひょっとしたら、本格的な cloud fabric controller と object storage が Open になるかもしれず。

いささか乱立気味の Cloud 基盤ですが、RackSpace にとっては、技術基盤が Open Source になっても、長年のホスティング事業でこなれた顧客・業務基盤、また彼らの特徴であるサポートがあるかぎり安泰と。

また、RightScale や enstratus、cloudkick、Opscode、Puppet Labs のような cloud broker もハッピー

(追記) amazon は流通業、RackSpace はサービス業… 面白いですねぇ

Cluster Compute Instances for Amazon EC2

2010年7月13日火曜日

AWS で HPC

Each Cluster Compute Instance consists of a pair of quad-core Intel “Nehalem” X5570 processors with a total of 33.5 ECU (EC2 Compute Units), 23 GB of RAM, and 1690 GB of local instance storage, all for $1.60 per hour.

Cluster Compute Instances are connected using a 10 Gbps network.

The Cluster Compute Instances use hardware-assisted (HVM) virtualization instead of the paravirtualization used by the other instance types and requires booting from EBS, so you will need to create a new AMI in order to use them.
