The Evolution of the Cloud Revolution ? Part 1 and 2
by Joel Campbell and Amy Zeller Directions Magazine Technology Maturation Created the Cloud When the computing age took off in the 1960s, powerful mainframe computers ran bulk data processes inside large organizations.

xcp-xapi - XCP's XenAPI server
DESCRIPTION
The Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) is an open source enterprise-ready server virtualization and cloud computing platform, with support for a
range of guest operating systems, Linux network and storage support.
XCP addresses the needs of cloud providers, hosting services and data centers by combining the isolation and multitenancy capabilities of
the Xen hypervisor with enhanced security, storage and network virtualization technologies to offer a rich set of virtual infrastructure
cloud services. The platform also address user requirements for security, availability, performance and isolation across both private and
public clouds.
XCP consolidates server workloads, enables savings in power, cooling, and management costs and thus contributing to environmentally sus-
tainable computing, an increased ability to adapt to ever-changing IT environments, an optimized use of existing hardware, and an improved
level of IT reliability.
This is the XenAPI server, which provides the control plane for XCP hosts and resource pools. To manage the XenAPI server, you should use
either the XML-RPC based API, the xe command line tool, or a graphical user interface such as OpenXenManager.
