Peer1 Cloud Hosting Website Review

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

So I would like to write about the new things that are happening with Peer1 cloud hosting.  I really like the new changes that they have made to the site in the past two months.  The site is a very elegant site that combines sleek designs with tech. I love the green and lighter blue colors that make the cloud hosting stand out.

I think that the little drawing are very interesting but show the points very well.  People in the IT industry are typically very nerdy and things like this appeal to them.  I like the site Peer1.  You did a good job.  There are a few things that I think would help the Peer1 cloud hosting packages a little better but overall they did a very good job.

Red Hat License Fee for Rackspace Cloud Servers

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Rackspace Cloud Servers customers will now be billed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) instances on a monthly rather than hourly basis.    Due to changes in the Rackspace cloud server subscription arrangement with Red Hat, they can no longer offer Cloud customers hourly billing for RHEL licenses.  Rackspace will begin charging our customers a monthly licensing fee, starting in September. This license fee will not be prorated.

What this means for Rackspace Cloud Servers customers using RHEL:

  • Instead of being billed for your RHEL license on an hourly basis, customers using Red Hat will be billed on a monthly basis (30 day billing cycle).  The Cloud Server will continue to be billed on a utility basis.
  • The new fee for RHEL will be $20 per month per server, which is an average savings of $1.60 per month for each server for a full month’s usage. This fee replaces the $.03/hour fee per server using Red Hat that is currently in place.
  • Every Cloud Server that you spin up with RHEL will be subject to a full month’s license fee, no matter how long you use it. If a Cloud Server with RH

Cloud Manager

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Novell announced the availability of Cloud Manager, a product designed to enable customers to create and securely manage a cloud computing environment as an extension of existing data centre resources.

Cloud Manager is designed for heterogeneous IT environments which, the company said, gives customers the flexibility to create and manage private clouds regardless of the mix of hypervisors, operating systems and hardware platforms.

Pernod Ricard’s chief information officer of premium wine brands is Ryan Klose who was an early adopter of Cloud Manager.  “Cloud Manager will simplify our IT service provisioning by enabling us to treat our physical resources and virtual infrastructure as a seamless private cloud and gain a much clearer and more granular understanding of our IT use and costs,” he said. “Our BIS infrastructure team can be more responsive to changing business priorities. Cloud Manager allows us to simplify and automate many of our business processes, accelerate IT service delivery, as well as provide visibility and cost-transparency to the business.”
