VMware vCloud Initiative Overview
During VMWorld 2008, VMware demonstrated their vClound initiative. This technology stems out of the Beehive acquisition. The demo showed how a local cloud could interoperate with an external cloud. First, the presenter downloaded a virtual appliance from the virtual appliance marketplace. Next a 4 second metric SLA was defined for the virtual appliance. If the SLA is exceeded, a new instance of the workload is brought online to bring SLA compliance. This entire demo was captured on video by Michael Keen and posed on Brian Madden. It is a short video (6 minutes) to give you a good idea of what the technology is about.
