In the last few months C12G Labs has greatly accelerated the development of its management console for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing platforms: OpenNebula.
The imminent launch of VMware vCloud Service Director (vCSD), set for early September, and the Red Hat announced plans to acquire new companies in the cloud computing space, pushed the startup to support both the vCloud API and the Deltacloud API.
Now, trying to leverage the momentum generated by Rackspace and its OpenStack, C12G Labs announces the OpenNebula 2.0 beta program.
The new release includes some major additions and improvements, including:
- Image Repository
- Support for extended Virtual Network configurations (IP gateway, DNS servers, etc. can be defined within a virtual machine for each attached network)
- Support for physical clusters
- Support for MySQL
- Native support for authorization and authentication
C12G Labs claims that OpenNebula 2.0 can scale up to tens of thousands of virtual machines.
