What’s Included

RightScale myCloud with CloudStack is the simplest and fastest way to build a private cloud within any organization. CloudStack delivers:

• Comprehensive Service Management: Define, meter, deploy, and manage multiple service and disk offerings within your private cloud.
• Secure Cloud Deployments: Ensure that all memory, CPU, network, and storage resources are both available and isolated from one user account to another within your cloud.
• Hypervisor Agnostic: Integrate with the major hypervisors including KVM, Citrix XenServer, and VMware.
• Virtual Routers, Firewalls, and Load Balancers: Achieve additional security and scalability for your cloud environment with the integration of both software and hardware firewalls and load balancers.
• Multiple Storage Solutions: Get standard iSCSI or NFS compliant storage solutions for compatibility with commodity hardware as well as with Dell EqualLogic and NetApp.
• Block Storage Volumes: Create block storage volumes of arbitrary size on both network attached storage (NAS) or local disk that can be attached to and detached from your virtual machine.
• Guest VM OS Support: Supports Windows and Linux guest operating systems.
• Resource Overprovisioning and Limits: Leverage existing hypervisor, storage, and network technologies to configure your private cloud to allow overprovisioning of physical resources to optimize the allocation of your virtual machines. Also limit virtual resources, including the number of VMs that an account can create and the number of public IP addresses an account can own on both the global, domain, and account levels.
• VM Sync and High Availability: Get constant monitoring of and individual status notifications for all virtual machines within your cloud and automatically ensure that the VMs remain running.
• Host Maintenance with Live Migration: Upgrade and maintain hardware maintenance with no downtime for guest virtual machines and, to prevent service disruption, live migrate VMs from hosts that have been targeted for maintenance.
