ENOMALY
Enomaly Inc., (founded in 2004) is a developer of system software for the virtualization and
management of cloud computing. It is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
Initially founded as an open source consulting company by Reuven Cohen, George Bazos and
Lars Forsberg, the company quickly grew from an open source consultancy and system
integrator into one of the first focused on the emerging cloud computing space. Richard
Reiner joined Enomaly as Chairman and CEO in March, 2009. The company was among the
first to provide a self-service Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform with the first version
launched in 2005 under an open source platform called Enomalism, later renamed ECP and
made available commercially as closed sourced.
Enomaly's current software, called Elastic Computing Platform, Service Provider Edition
(ECP/SPE) was released in July, 2009 and allows web hosts and service providers to offer
public facing IaaS and cloud services to their customers in a means similar to that of Amazon
Ec2. Enomaly offers cloud infrastructure capabilities to established carriers, service and
hosting providers who in turn use their existing physical data center to offer a combination of
cloud services and dedicated hosting services to their customers.
In November 2010 Enomaly launched SpotCloud.com, described as the first commodity style
Clearinghouse & Marketplace for unused cloud computing capacity. According to the
SpotCloud site the service is "Built on Google App Engine and the Enomaly ECP platform (as
well as other cloud infrastructure platforms in the near future), SpotCloud is an easy to use,
structured cloud capacity marketplace where service providers can sell their excess computing
capacity to a wide array of buyers and resellers."
Enomaly Elastic Computing Platform (ECP)
Cloud Computing / Infrastructure as a Service Platform based on Libvirt API
Enomaly’s Elastic Computing Platform (ECP) is the answer for carriers and hosting providers,
and their customers, who want to benefit from the power, flexibility, and economies of cloud
computing. Over 15,000 companies use ECP to operate cloud computing platforms, deliver
infrastructure-on-demand services to their customers and users, enjoy dynamic provisioning
and scaling for their computing workloads, and experience the benefits of cloud computing for
the enterprise.
Unlimited Scalability
ECP's carrier-class architecture supports very large cloud platforms, spanning multiple
datacentres in disparate geographies. Self-Service for Maximum Business Agility Business
users know best when their applications will experience peak loads. ECP empowers business
users with a simple but powerful self-service portal, providing real-time monitoring and
complete command and control capabilities over their cloud infrastructure.
Strong Multi-Tenant Security
ECP provides fine-grained multi-level access controls, enabling each customer or user of the
cloud platform to access and manage only their own resources. Network isolation between
multiple customers running workloads on the cloud ensures privacy, while enabling the
provider the configure an unlimited number of private VLANs for each customer. A hard quota
system protects the cloud against misuse or abuse.

3. 3
Automated Provisioning
ECP's provisioning rules engine is capable of determining the optimal location of each virtual
application component. ECP provides the intelligence to ensure an application node is deployed
to an optimal physical and virtual location. In addition, ECP is capable of directly modifying
an offline VM image, thereby pre-configuring storage, networking, cluster state, etc. for quick
deployments, including offsite migrations.
Rich Integration with Existing Infrastructure
ECP provides a rich customer-facing API, enabling users to automate the management of their
cloud infrastructure, e.g. for integration with external SLA management or user experience
management systems. ECP also provides a powerful back-office facing administrative API,
enabling simple integration with providers' provisioning and billing systems and supporting
automation of all administrative tasks.
Flexible Cloud Service Business & Revenue Models
When designing public-use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms that are also cost-
effective and revenue-generating, the difficulty lies in provisioning resources for both peak and
low-volume usage periods while providing an agreed upon minimum service standard.
Enomaly’s ECP is based on two essential principles – oversubscription and quality-of-service
quota management, which together enable powerful capacity administration. In a public cloud
infrastructure, an oversubscription model depends on the ratio of allocated resources to the
maximum peak usage levels, the frequency and volume of peak usage, and the minimum
service level agreement. The key is to manage resources around the standard deviation from
the normal usage benchmarks while simultaneously guaranteeing a particular quality-of-
service for each customer.
Enomaly’s ECP quota system provides a predetermined level of deviation across a specified
resource pool of customers. Service Provides can oversubscribe their environments allowing
for a variety of pricing & costing schemes to be implemented using a model that incorporates
usage tiers, quality-of-service tiers, and the ability to provision additional resources
dynamically as desired.

IAAS
According to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the most basic cloud-service model
is that of providers offering computing infrastructure – virtual machines and other resources –
as a service to subscribers. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) refers to online services that
abstract the user from the details of infrastructure like physical computing resources, location,
data partitioning, scaling, security, backup etc. A hypervisor, such as Xen, Oracle
VirtualBox, Oracle VM, KVM, VMware ESX/ESXi, or Hyper-V, runs the virtual machines as
guests. Pools of hypervisors within the cloud operational system can support large numbers of
virtual machines and the ability to scale services up and down according to customers' varying
requirements. Linux containers run in isolated partitions of a single Linux kernel running
directly on the physical hardware. Linux cgroups and namespaces are the underlying Linux
kernel technologies used to isolate, secure and manage the containers. Containerisation offers
higher performance than virtualization, because there is no hypervisor overhead. Also,
container capacity auto-scales dynamically with computing load, which eliminates the problem
of over-provisioning and enables usage-based billing. IaaS clouds often offer additional
resources such as a virtual-machine disk-image library, raw block storage, file or object
storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local area networks (VLANs), and
software bundles.
IaaS-cloud providers supply these resources on-demand from their large pools of equipment
installed in data centers. For wide-area connectivity, customers can use either the Internet
or carrier clouds (dedicated virtual private networks). To deploy their applications, cloud users
install operating-system images and their application software on the cloud infrastructure. In
this model, the cloud user patches and maintains the operating systems and the application
software. Cloud providers typically bill IaaS services on a utility computing basis: cost reflects
the amount of resources allocated and consumed
