Open Source Summit North America 2017

The DozenCloud Project, based on OpenStack, proposes a reasonably efficient model to construct low power virtual private cloud computing systems based on the customization of open source software technologies and cost-efficient ARM boards, such as Raspberry Pi. In this talk, we will discuss the customization of management software stack for heterogeneous high-density computing, built with low-power ARM devices, with platform specific optimizations in OpenStack. The measurement of performance and power efficiency of all current low-end and micro server offerings is proved to be a bit complex since it is indeed targeted at more demanding scale-out software were called "scale-out servers". DozenCloud has been developing these simplified blade server chassis that offer density, low power, and lower cost, in the form of open source.
