Cloud.com Confidential | Shared Under NDA Only

We Believe in an Open Cloud Model:Open Source, Open Standards
Cloud portability/interoperability
Avoiding vendor lock in
Broad community support and collaboration
Adapting to enterprise standards
Best of breed technologies

Citrix Acquires Cloud.com
Market-leading provider of cloud orchestration software
Platform designed from ground up for cloud
Proven in 60+ major cloud providers
Builds on strong footprint in cloud with Xen and NetScaler
Formed in 2008 (as VMOps)
Open Sourced CloudStack – May 2010
Acquired by Citrix – July 2011
Dropped 'open core' – August 2011

Characteristics of Clouds
On-Demand Self-Service
Broad Network Access
Resource Pooling
Rapid Elasticity
Measured Service

Types of Cloud Service Models
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
Single application, multi-tenancy, network-based, one-to-many delivery of applications, all users have same access to features.
PLATFORM-AS-A-SERVICE
Application developer model, Application deployed to an elastic service that auto scales, low administrative overhead. No concept of virtual machines or operating system. Code it and deploy it.
INFRASTRUCTURE-AS-A-SERVICE
Servers and storage are made available in a scalable way over a network.
SaaS
PaaS
IaaS

Managed High-Availability
Obtain provisioning networking services
Load balancing, dhcp, routing, VLAN allocation
Firewall, isolation, VPN…
Allocate VM/Resources based on algorithms and
availability
Provide abstraction of and interaction with virtualization,
networking, etc…
IaaS Cloud Platform Functions

Provide a multi-tenant, highly segregated, interface
(API or web interface)
Allow arbitrary resources limits to be placed on accounts
or users
Track not just counts of VMs at given point in time,
but usage
Type of instance, network, storage, CPU
IaaS Cloud Platform Functions

CloudStack at a Glance
Secure, multi-tenant cloud platform
Delivers AWS-like services to your users
Virtual servers on demand
Virtual data center on demand (VPC)
Hosted network services

Multiple Hypervisor Support

Multi-tenant
Resources are hierarchically segregated into the following:
Zones, Pods, Clusters and Hosts
Users are separated into multi-level domains and accounts
based on access to resources
Intuitive user interface for centralized management and
easy viewing of accounts, access and resources
Users and Admins have access to the same UI
Benefits:
Reduce infrastructure cost and management needs
Increase in dependability and reliability

Networking
CloudStack manages networking including:
Load balancing, VPN, Firewall, Routing
DHCP, VLAN provisioning and management
Security Groups
Benefits:
Reduces the risk of failures due to a misconfigured
network
Decreases time spent on managing networking manually
Increase business growth while lowering costs

High Availability
Works for all supported hypervisors
System VMs such as router and load balancer are HA by
Default
Redundant router
Benefits:
Protecting business critical applications
Minimizing and better prepare for unplanned downtime
Reducing Mean Time To Recovery

Robust API
CloudStack is replete with a robust RESTfulAPI
Output in XML or JSON
Benefits:
Allow external applications such as monitoring to perform
actions and to spin up new instances in response to load
Allow users to loosely couple external applications such
as billing and PaaS to CloudStack
