Under the Bonnet
- Software Defined Network Pool
- Ceph Storage Pool
- Compute Pool
With the eCloud® Flex Network Pool you have the ability to dynamically and programmatically create and modify VPNs, a load balancer and mapped IPs as demand and requirements change. It is at this layer that your front-end traffic is processed and handed over to the specific projects for firewall inspection as internal IPs.
- Assign and re-assign floating external IPs to instances
- Static internal IPs or configurable DHCP zones
- Software-defined L2/3 Topologies
- Additional network services, including virtual private networks(VPNs) and load balancing
- Up to 10Gb/s throughput with Open vSwitch and the UKFastCisco Nexus network10Gb/s connectivity for every blade server
All data is safely stored in the Ceph Storage Pool. These storage servers are busy servicing your project's disk I/O demands, whilst maintaining integrity of the data and replicating it three times inside the pool. This ensures it is resilient against multiple disk failures and even multiple server failures.
- Storage is independent of compute pool, so is agnostic to any instance failure
- Built-in replication
- Data access to containers restricted to only that client
The eCloud® Flex compute pool offers complete control to scale up and down across individual projects as necessary.
- Choose from pre-configured images, or upload your own
- Live instance management with VNC proxy through a web browser
- Customisable network Security Groups and Role Based Access Control (RBAC) over your project
- Additional network services, including virtual private networks (VPNs) and load balancing
