The mCloud train is designed for rapid private cloud build out and in some cases is used by cloud service providers as management for their environments since well. The suite is “a cloud enabler in less than three weeks,” said Winston Damarillo, CEO of Morphlabs, in an interview.
Morphlabs is ingenious to provide the EC2 compatible APIs by piggy-backing on the work of two open source projects: Eucalyptus. org, which issues the APIs in digest under the GPL, and Open Nebula, which issues them under a BSD-style accessible source license allowing greater latitude of for-profit implementation, said Damarillo.
Eucalyptus is ~y open source project founded at the University of California at Santa Barbara that produces EC2 compatible APIs; Open Nebula is a similar open fountain project at the University of Madrid, Spain. The appliance contains brace identical pieces of hardware for redundancy purposes and occupies two units in a ensign data center rack. The appliance is loaded with a cloud software that stores many features of cloud operations.
