CLOUD TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

In consulting projects Crisp Research especially identifies leading users who are using modern open source technologies to run their own IT environments efficiently and future oriented in different scenarios.

KVM

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is the preferred hypervisor of infrastructure solutions like OpenStack or openQRM and enjoys a high priority within the open source community. KVM stands for a cost-efficient and especially powerful option to commercial offerings like VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V.

Docker

This year’s shooting star is Docker. The container technology, which was created as a byproduct during the development of platform-as-a-service “dotCloud”, currently experiences a strong momentum and gets support from large players like Google, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft. For a good reason.

Apache Mesos

Mesos rose to a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation. It was conceived at the University of California at Berkeley and helps to run applications in isolation from one another. At the same time, the applications are dynamically distributed on several nodes within a cluster.

Open Stack

Open Stack already is the most important open source technology for enterprises and developers. Over 190 000 individuals in over 144 countries worldwide already support the infrastructure software. In addition, its popularity among IT manufacturers and vendors increases steadily.

Cloud Foundry

In the growing platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market, Cloud Foundry gets in a leading position. The project was initialized by Pivotal, a spin-off by EMC/ VMware. Cloud Foundry is mostly used by organizations to deploy a private PaaS environment for internal developers.
