HPE Eucalyptus Other Advice

Currently, we're using the latest version but we are now migrating to the VS platform, another application content manager.

We are in financial software development, and we do not scale very well. We have the setup we are running now on multi-level Supermicro connectivity servers. We are running on those boxes and we have a freeware storage box. 

We do not use the solution extensively. We don't even use it for our primary storage; we have the fixed storage where the environment base is pretty static. 

We had a plan in 2019 to move to Cloud in our production environment and right now we just want to move out in order to test our environment. That's what we are focused on right now.

I'd recommend others to (before the implementation goes ahead) do some POV's to see that the applications can be run. It's not likely to be easy. You are going to have to work with limited resources. You may have to assimilate storage.

If you want to run big applications, you have to be careful. If you are running with other applications (JAVA, PHP) while it's perfectly all right, it's important to test things with a POV first.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Eucalyptus should see good momentum if AWS propagates the theory of Hybrid cloud as the APIs in Eucalyptus are greatly compatible with AWS and serves as great private cloud option for enterprises. View full review »
