Overview

Description

Apache CloudStack is an open-source cloud computing software that helps companies deploy and manage large networks of digital machines, as a highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing solution. At present, the software is compatible with the most popular industry-specific hypervisors like KVM, Hyper-V, XenServer/XCP and/or VMware ESXi with vSphere, enabling seamless business. It also comes equipped with a friendly interface allowing businesses to get their cloud space monitored with ease. Apache CloudStack’s native API is compatible with an Amazon S3/EC2 object storage service. Moreover, companies also get to depend on the same to manage storage, in cases where they are using hypervisors (primary storage) along with other elements like snapshots, templates and ISO images (secondary storage). Moreover, Apache CloudStack allows users to orchestrate network services from the data link layer (L2) to the application layer (L7) services, like NAT, DHCP, VPN, firewall, etc. The software also provides companies with the facility of multi-tenancy and account separation simultaneously.
