AWS Launches Cluster Compute EC2 Instances

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Amazon Launches Cluster Compute EC2 Instances For High Performance Applications.  This helps with the availability of Cluster Compute Instances for Amazon EC2, which is a new instance type specifically designed for high-performance computing (HPC) applications and other demanding applications.

The cloud feature that I love the most is that clients can group “Cluster Compute Instances” into clusters which allows applications on servers to get the low-latency network performance required for tightly coupled, node-to-node communication.  There have been several times where I have been unable to do this on other cloud platforms due to cloud server limitations.

This launch represents Amazon’s continued push to make EC2 stronger and more scalable.  Besides offering customers more features, Amazon may also be prepping for a new competitor. Rumor has it that Google may be launching an EC2 competitor.

Cloud Linux Releases SecureLVE

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Cloud Linux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, today announces the release of SecureLVE™, an extension of CloudLinux’s Lightweight Virtual Environment technology which creates a higher level of security for servers. SecureLVE provides a virtualized file system, which separates each user on the server into its own virtual environment preventing one user from seeing any other users on the server. This new server security makes it difficult for hackers to attack, deface, or steal data from the shared web server.

“SecureLVE is the first out-of-the-box solution that delivers a high level of security in a shared hosting environment,” states Igor Seletskiy, Cloud Linux Inc. Founder and CEO. “At Cloud Linux we will continue to deliver tools that improve the stability and security of the hosting environment, and give hosting providers the control and flexibility they need to manage the more complex challenges brought on with the rise of cloud computing.”
