In the past few months, the ICCLab has been developing a generic rating-charging-billing engine that would offer cloud service providers a modular framework that enables dynamic pricing activities and distributed design. The model closely follows the general accounting process, in the same time providing a lot of flexibility due to the loosely-coupled design. The platform […]
The release of Icehouse brought a few enhancements that were of particular interest in our work – notably Ceilometer/Telemetry developments both in terms of data models as well as performance and improved support for live VM migration. As we had a positive experience with installing Openstack using Mirantis Openstack 4.x (based on Fuel 4.x), we thought […]
Since we all know … Vader: Don’t lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi! I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to the new Empire! Therefore … Let’s enter a new area of peace negotiations – Jedi’s (DataLab) and the […]
In the our last article on OpenStack and OpenShift we showed how you could setup these two large systems quickly and fast but on your local system. Now what if you wanted to use OpenStack to provide OpenShift capabilities to a set of users? Well why not use the cloud?! So the idea in this […]
ICCLab attended the OpenCloudDay in Bern en masse. Being one of the most known (infamous?) cloud computing groups in Switzerland, we had to show our strength at one of Switzerland’s most prestigious cloud events!

NOTE TO THE READER – 16 Jun 2014: after this post was published, some very insightful comments have been issued that made me consider the necessity of adding this note to warn the readers and remark what has been compared in this study. Ceph and Swift have been deployed and compared as object storage systems and […]
The ICCLab is proud to be part of the Cloud Foundry community. We are running regular User Group meet-ups for anyone with an interest in Platform as a Service in general, as well as Cloud Foundry and its ecosystem to come along learn, participate and hopefully have some fun too! For more information about the Cloud Foundry […]
