Setting up based Private Cloud Using Open Stack

Abstract

Cloud computing has elevated IT to newer limits by offering the market environment data storage and capacity with flexible scalable computing processing power to match elastic demand and supply, whilst reducing capital expenditure. Cloud services are supported both by Proprietary and Open Source Systems. As Proprietary products are very expensive, customers are not allowed to experiment on their product and security is a major issue in it, Open source systems helps in solving out these problems. Cloud Computing motivated many academic and non academic members to develop Open Source Cloud Setup, here the users are allowed to study the source code and experiment it. This paper describes the configuration of a private cloud using Open Stack. Open Stack an open source system has been used to implement a private cloud using the hardware and software without making any modification to it and provide various types of services to the cloud computing environment.
