Terremark Helps Drive Adoption of vCloud API
Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:15:00 GMT | Add Comment
Terremark is actively working with key VMware vCloud partners to help drive adoption of the vCloud API, a key feature embedded in our vCloud Express platform. The availability of a standards based vCloud API allows us to accelerate the integration of open source projects for the developer ecosystem and provides a flexible, high performance, cloud computing environment to deliver highly valued solutions.
By working with VMware and the developer ecosystem Terremark is able to offer additional value to our vCloud Express users by layering these integrated solutions on top of our service. In a highly competitive market our goal as a service provider is to offer tools and solutions that improve the delivery of our customer’s applications and solutions to their end consumers; resulting in organic growth for both Terremark and its customers. Participation in the vCloud developer ecosystem makes this possible because it gives customers exposure to innovative new ideas and tools beyond the feature sets that are native to our vCloud Express product.
In recent months Terremark has partnered with VMware, Cloudera, and WebAppVM to kick start an ISV momentum program in an effort to drive new vCloud adoption. As seen in a recent press release from VMware (http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/vcloud-api.html) Terremark has been successful working with each of these partners to make Open-Source Java and Python SDKs available for the VMware vCloud API. Cloudera is an active libcloud contributor and uses libcloud in its Hadoop offering for vCloud Express, and WebAppVM leverages jclouds for its vCloud Express solution.
The Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop allows users to store, integrate and analyze data inexpensively and easily by leveraging vCloud Express and the vCloud API to dynamically provision resources, process jobs and deprovision resources.
The WebAppVM solution enables users to configure and scale a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering on vCloud Express so they can rapidly on-board and monitor cloud-based applications. These solutions are currently available through Terremark’s vCloud API and will be available as global deployment templates by the end of January 2010.
Terremark expects to keep the ISV momentum program going and will continue to help drive adoption of the vCloud API by working with VMware and the developer ecosystem. Please don’t hesitate to share your interaction with our vCloud Express product by posting your experiences to the Developer’s Corner Forum in the vCloud Express Community (https://community.vcloudexpress.terremark.com/en-us/discussion_forums/f/60.aspx).
