OpenStack for managing cloud computing platform

OpenStack is the software tool, which is used for building and managing cloud computing platforms for both public and private clouds. It is considered as the future of cloud computing. It is managed by the OpenStack foundation and backed by biggest companies in the software development field with thousands of individual members. It lets user deploy virtual machines for handling different tasks for the management of cloud environment. Horizontal scaling is made easy, which helps in tasks running concurrently and serves different users by just spinning up./p>

Since OpenStack software is open source software, it can be accessed by anyone and its source code can be easily changed or modified. The changes made can be easily shared and accessed by different users in the community. Since it is accessed by thousand of developers across the world, it benefits from them and has become the most secure and robust product.

Cloud is for providing computing solutions to its users in remote environment where actual software runs on reliable servers and not on each end user’s computer and it is referred as a service in which software, platform and infrastructure are all included. OpenStack is considered as infrastructure which makes it easy for other Cloud components to run properly as it adds new instances. Software applications can be created on the platform provided by OpenStack.

OpenStack has different moving parts or components, which keep increasing in number as different users add additional components, due to its open nature. It has nine significant components. Nova is the primary component as it is a fabric controller used for deployment and management of large virtual machines. Swift Storage system is one of its components and store information for OpenStack. Neutron is the networking component of OpenStack as it provides networking capability for communication between each deployment.

Red Hat, Swift, Ceph are the new age storage solution

It is difficult to find and manage information in hardware-based storage system. Even accessing it at times is difficult as adding capacity disrupts the access mostly in the traditional systems. There is a limitation of storage capacity as well as chances of hardware failure. However,Red Hat Storage Server is an open source storage solution and it is software based. It is founded on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Gluster FS. It combines both file and object storage. It effectively stores and manages unstructured data, without compromising on scale or performance. Red Hat Storage server is cost effective and highly available storage system with scale-out architecture. It deploys same storage on premise as well as public or hybrid cloud.

OpenStack Swift is also known as OpenStack Object Storage system which is another open source object storage system. It is one of the best storage systems, which is suitable for backup and archive unstructured data like email, audio files, video files, images, documents etc. It is based on Cloud file technology. It runs on standard server hardware. Since objects and files are written on multiple drives, Swift Storagesoftware replicates it across using clustering. It replicates its data and content to new locations in cluster from its active nodes.

Ceph is another storage software platform which presents object, block and file storage from a single computer cluster. It runs on commodity hardware. It is a self healing and self managing storage software which helps in reducing the budget as well as administrator overheads. Data is replicated in Ceph storage system, which makes it, fault tolerant. Its main feature which makes it different from other storage software is that it has traditional file system interface with POSIX semantics. It offers unlimited storage to file systems virtually and stronger data safety for critical applications.

Boost Application development through Server Virtualization

So what is ‘Server Virtualization’?

In a simpler term, it is the partitioning of one physical server into several servers. These virtual servers, each of them, will be able to run through its own application and operating system, and help it perform like an individual server. For example, to complete development with the assistance of diverse operating systems on a single physical server or you can also consolidate servers that are at one point of time, used by several business divisions.

Today, there has come a completely new meaning to computing and businesses are moving track towards virtualization. TechGrills is a forefront in the arena and it offers to its client reliably strong and comprehensive virtualization services, all under one roof.

Apart from supporting custom hardware for enhanced backwards compatibility, we emphasize on virtualization. Your legacy servers will be ever supported by our systematic server virtualization support granting you with advantages of scaling at quite an affordable rate. Furthermore, our virtual machines provides you the opportunity to run new hardware and processors which might not work well on legacy operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows NT, 95, 98 etc.

Furthermore, with the assistance of virtual box, we enable you support for attached devices on serial port, parallel port and PCI based custom hardware. We ensure that our virtualization services would be feasibly compatible to your list of hardware like dongles, which many a times, are not supported by traditional ports and DOS applications.

Now ‘You’ can easily change your dedicated servers to Virtual Private Servers at Ease:

Today, Virtual Private Servers have gained a de facto standard of the new-hosted IT Infrastructure. At the same time, businesses are coming under pressure to bring an overall improvement in the bottom line. Today, IT operation forms a vital part to all kinds of businesses. From local area networks, internet-connected routers and to switches, most of the system components used today is essential for employees, so that they can feasibly work in a modern office setting. When businesses tend to run applications in infrastructures like web-hosted cloud, it rather gets quite complicated to manage everything easily.

This is the reason why, today, virtualization of servers has become quite an important position in probably every business today, especially the ones facing public networks. We help you to harness the power of one robust and dedicated server, which will be always available to your users and work in the form of a separate ‘virtual private server’. This system has been set in office environments, chiefly for desktop virtualization.

Today, in cloud infrastructure, it is quite easy to work with VPSs just like any other dedicated servers. We help you in creating public and private clouds with the assistance of our virtualization technology.

We have the skill and experience to meet all your server virtualization requirements. We will easily take care of all the processes together with the management and installation part. Just notify us of your requirements and we will come across with a reliable solution best suited for your site.
