ScaleUp has been testing CA AppLogic 3.0 during its beta phase. One of the most important new features from our perspective is the new vlan tagging support. This has been a feature that most of our customers, who are mainly service providers, have been asking for. This new feature enables a service provider to offer their customers cloud based compute resources (such as VMs or complete application stacks) in the same network segment as their colocated or dedicated servers. Also, this makes it possible for a service provider to segregate customer traffic more easily.
The localizable user interface of AppLogic 3.0 fits nicely to our own internationalization support in the ScaleUp Cloud Management Platform.

Another brand new feature of CA AppLogic 3.0 is the support for VMWare ESX as a hypervisor. This is especially interesting for enterprise customers, who have already invested in VMWare. This also plays in nicely with an OVF import feature in AppLogic, which makes it more easy to import workloads from other systems.

Currently we are working on a Proof of Concept with a Managed Service Provider in the Asia-Pacific region and have already verified preliminary AppLogic 3.0 support for our ScaleUp Cloud Management Platform. Some of the new features in AppLogic 3.0 still have to be integrated into ScaleUp and we are working with our customers on making sure, that these new features will be as simple to use as the rest of our ScaleUp platform.

With our ScaleUp Cloud Management Platform and CA AppLogic 3.0, we can effectively show the value of cloud computing to everyone – IT departments, business users, developers, the CIO and, in some cases, even the CEO. Our combined solution is about speed and time to market. So if you are a service provider or an enterprise and are interested in testing AppLogic 3.0 and ScaleUp, please contact us at hello@scaleupcloud.com.

Also, I will be talking about the Cloud Point of Purchase on Wednesday 18th May 2011 at the EuroCloud Conference in Cologne. I will focus on the importance of supporting the need of Cloud users, to have an easy to use way to consume Cloud services.

This has helped us so much that we thought about ways, how we could combine the easy installation of Stackops with our ScaleUp platform. With the newest release from Stackops (Version 0.2 / Cactus) you can now automatically sign up for a hosted instance of the ScaleUp self-service cloud management platform that allows users to order and manage their computing resources without having to be a cloud expert.

Try out OpenStack today by downloading Stackops at http://www.stackops.org/.

„Run your cloud“ was the motto of last week‘s CloudOps Summit in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. About 150 people from the IT industry met to exchange ideas and experiences on building, running and managing clouds. In Lightning Talks and Workshops industry players, big and small as well as young and established, joined the discussion on topics like „Cloud Performance“, „Mobile Cloud Computing“ and „Cloud Management“.

Hands-on information, no light talk. Jean-Paul Schmetz, Director at HackFwD and Founder and CEO of 10betterpages visioned a future where everything in IT becomes a software, eg. storage or processing power. And also Hans-Christian Boos, CEO at Arago AG, sees a significant shift in IT where in the future IT experts are needed who focus on managerial tasks rather than maintenance stuff.

Our CTO Christoph Streit took the stage in the Start-Up session to introduce our cloud management platform. With our vision at the cloud „Point of Purchase“ we can certainly agree with Chris Boos that in the future new skills are required in the IT industry. The IT user wants easy to understand and simple to use systems and solutions. The provider of such solutions needs to support a wide range of use cases and user types, and at the same time wants and needs to offer the underlying complex technology in a simple, self-service manner.

Certainly, CloudOps Summit held interesting presentations and workshops. The talks and discussions between the sessions were even more fun.
