Caveat: this does not mean that there is a production cloud at that location, just that an IP in that location (approximately) downloaded the binaries. Of course, you can get the community analysis from: http://www.qyjohn.net/?p=3528 I am also working with bitergia on a dashboard: http://projects.bitergia.com/apache-cloudstack/browser/ Noe that the results are not yet "right" and I need to find time to check all of them….help welcome !!!!

IMHO trying to compare performance of cloudstack with other similar projects will not make sense. I am not trying to be a pain on this one, but to define performance you first need to define what you want to measure. > > Per the tearsheet below, in the "Global Footprint" section, I'm still needing > data on scalability specifically, and would appreciate any other > super-impressive metrics you may have. > Largest known deployment is 25,000 hosts. > Also, understanding that this is a public list, I'm happy to work with you > privately under separate cover if you prefer. > > Thanking you in advance for your help with this! > > - Sally > > > >> ________________________________ >> From: Sally Khudairi <s...@apache.org> >> To: Apache CloudStack Marketing <marketing@cloudstack.apache.org> >> Sent: Wednesday, 18 June 2014, 9:49 >> Subject: Apache CloudStack Tearsheet >> >> >> Hello, everyone -- >> >> As part of my working with media/analysts on All Things Apache, and the >> inclusion of Apache CloudStack to my list of "hot" and newsworthy items, >> I've created a tearsheet that can be used as a leave behind (digitally or >> physically) as well as a quick point of reference. >> >> Below is the plaintext version; I'm also happy to forward a Word or ODF or >> PDF >> format to you upon request. >> >> Also, if you are aware of additional users/deployments that are not listed >> below, do let me know :-) >> >> Thanks in advance for your continued support! >> -Sally >> >> = = = >> >> Introducing Apache CloudStack™ >> The mature, Open Source turnkey software platform used for creating >> Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing in private-, public-, and >> hybrid cloud environments. >> Faster to the Cloud >> As organizations move towards cloud computing services to alleviate the >> burden of managing/maintaining legacy systems, equipment, and networking, >> many are choosing IaaS solutions to help reduce costs whilst minimizing >> business layer repercussions.
