REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/28/13 -- Coraid®, a leading provider of software-defined storage solutions, today announced that it has contributed drivers for ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) and Coraid EtherCloud to OpenStack® Block Storage. The AoE driver enables storage access over connectionless, massively parallel 10 Gigabit Ethernet, providing superior performance versus legacy storage networking. These drivers will allow public, private and hybrid OpenStack-based clouds to seamlessly integrate with Coraid's EtherDrive® and EtherCloud platforms to deliver scalable, automated storage services. Coraid also announced that it has joined the OpenStack community as a corporate sponsor.
OpenStack has emerged as a popular infrastructure-as-a-service platform for cloud builders who are designing automated software-defined architectures. Coraid has a long history of collaboration with the open source community, and worked with longtime partner Alyseo to develop the OpenStack Block Storage integration. Coraid is the first commercial storage platform to combine scale-out enterprise block storage with a powerful policy engine for automated storage management, providing ideal building blocks for modern data centers.
"Coraid has a long history of commitment to open source, starting with the contribution of the ATA-over-Ethernet driver to the Linux kernel in 2005," said Kevin Brown, CEO of Coraid. "Coraid's contribution to OpenStack Block Storage enables enterprises and service providers to build open-source clouds while leveraging Coraid's elastic, scale-out storage and automation platforms to deliver simplicity at scale."
Coraid's drivers integrate with OpenStack Block Storage allowing end users to provision and manage volumes on Coraid EtherDrive storage. The integration leverages the powerful REST APIs provided by Coraid EtherCloud that expose every aspect of storage provisioning and operational management to programmatic control. EtherCloud also provides a rich policy engine and automation framework that enable one-click provisioning of enterprise-class storage, simplifying capacity and performance management. This allows IT administrators and end users to reduce infrastructure-provisioning times from weeks to minutes. Using EtherCloud, administrators can deliver underlying block storage as services that automatically create volumes with specific performance and availability characteristics, including flash acceleration and no-single-point-of-failure configurations.
"OpenStack is the leading open source platform for building public and private clouds," said Mark Collier, COO at OpenStack Foundation. "Coraid's contribution of the AoE driver to OpenStack leverages OpenStack's pluggable architecture to enable users to choose the best technologies to fit their business needs. As a Foundation sponsor, Coraid is supporting our efforts to make open source solutions for cloud building more attractive to enterprises and service providers."
The new drivers are expected for availability in the next release of OpenStack codenamed Grizzly that is scheduled for release in April 2013. Coraid will demonstrate the power and flexibility of EtherDrive storage at the OpenStack Summit in Portland in April 2013.

Cloud enables SMBs to access new, scalable resources – previously only available to enterprises – in flexible and cost-effective ways. McKinsey’s SMB Cloud Report projects the public cloud market to reach $40-$50 billion by 2015, with SMBs comprising 65% of public cloud spending in 2015. But selling cloud to SMBs raises the questions of who, what and how.

We all talk about cloud differently, but is there a way we should be speaking about this tech?
Cloud computing is now a widely reported, if not accepted, IT movement that, depending on who you talk to, has changed or is changing the way businesses utilize infrastructure.
The age of data center automation is upon us. Whether it's cloud or SDN or devops in general, automation as a means to achieve efficiency and, one hopes, free up resources that can be then redirected to focus on innovation.
