In Citrix has announced the general availability of Citrix CloudStack 3, the first release of the open-source cloud platform under the Citrix brand.
CloudStack is claimed to be the worlds most successful platform for public clouds, powering over $1 billion in revenue for more than 85 large-scale production clouds, including some of the biggest brands in the industry. With the new CloudStack 3 release, Citrix brings the power of Amazon-style clouds to customers of all sizes. For the first time, enterprise customers who want to build clouds the way the worlds most successful clouds are built, can quickly and easily transform virtualized datacenter resources into automated, elastic, self-service clouds.
Citrix CloudStack is a key component of the Citrix cloud computing portfolio, providing customers with solutions that make it easy to build new clouds, connect to existing cloud services, and deliver any cloud with the best security, performance and reliability.
Since its introduction, CloudStack has rapidly become the leading commercial open source platform for building, managing and delivering highly scalable infrastructure-as-a-service clouds for a wide range of customers such as Datapipe, Edmunds.com, IDC Frontier, Nokia Research and Zynga.
CloudStack is designed to ensure organizations can build production cloud environments on a platform designed for economics, elasticity and scale. It is not a traditional enterprise server virtualization platform with cloud-like management layers on top. Rather, it was designed from the ground up as an open, multi-hypervisor platform to help customers build public and private clouds the way the worlds most innovative clouds are built simple, automated, elastic, scalable and efficient. New capabilities in CloudStack 3 focus on openness, flexibility and completeness.
Citrix is also unveiling a Citrix Cloud Community Program, which introduces over 2,200 products and services that are Citrix Ready verified to work with Citrix cloud solutions. The program showcases hundreds of leading technology companies and service providers who are partnering with Citrix to build the largest cloud computing ecosystem in the industry.
