A few months back I was playing around with CloudByte's ElastiStor which is a FreeBSD ZFS based storage solution. The interesting thing is that their management interface is built with the Apache CloudStack management framework. At the time, the interface was almost identical to stock CloudStack. in fact, it was so identical that one might even assume that it is really cloudstack thats controlling their storage layer. In short, they have the "UI" running with their propriety storage adapters on FreeBSD 8.x IIRC. Their evaluation builds are available from http://www.elastistor.info/builds/. http://www.cloudbyte.com As a side note, having Apache CloudStack manager work on FreeBSD would clear a path for creating and distributing production ready "cloudstack appliances". These appliances would be fully compliant with the permissive ASF guidelines. -- @shankerbalan M: +91 98860 60539 | O: +91 (80) 67935867 shanker.ba...@shapeblue.com | www.shapeblue.com | Twitter:@shapeblue ShapeBlue Services India LLP, 22nd floor, Unit 2201A, World Trade Centre, Bangalore - 560 055 This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
