Hello, I knew that Amazon ec2 is using xen...but are they any documents/tutorial which teach how to plan/design/implement a grid/cloud computing infrastructure using Xen? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Cloud computing simply means, as far as I understand it, offering remote applications which have typically resided on your PC. The next wave of this will be remote desktop''s, storage is already there, etc etc. Here''s a link to a site which is offering related things which might give you more insight or direction to start searching google perhaps. http://www.enomalism.com/ Mike On Sat, 14 Feb 2009 19:15:16 +0800, howard chen wrote:> Hello, > > I knew that Amazon ec2 is using xen...but are they any > documents/tutorial which teach how to plan/design/implement a > grid/cloud computing infrastructure using Xen? > > Thanks. > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

In my opinion, everyone out there is wanting to be the next provider of anything which will be known as Cloud Computing, well, the big boys at least. However, if you look around the net, you''ll find endless projects which would allow you to start putting together all of the pieces and parts. Depends on what you''re after but there is a basic to almost anything anyone wants to do on the Internet. I would say you don''t plan for thousands of servers but you build your initial infrastructure so that it will scale to what ever amounts of resources you''ll need. Understanding the various technologies will give you the knowledge you need to build on once things get going. Planning up front doesn''t seem to be about the physical as much as picking the right technologies which will allow your growth without pain. In other words, you only need a handful of servers in order to create an environment that would have all of the services which you''d like to offer. You build it so that it scales, not worrying too much about being able to handle thousands of users unless you''ve got very deep marketing dollar pockets. Now on the other hand, if you''ve got a handful of admin''s, tech''s and resources, just contact a consulting company and they will get you going pretty quick :). Sorry that there isn''t any specific answer but then, you''re not asking anything specific either. Just my pennies worth.

See http://workspace.globus.org for information on Nimbus cloud computing, this is just one of several open source things out there which emulate Amazon EC2 plus more.
