We offer direct FTP access (both in and out) to our cloud for drive images, 256bit encrypted virtual drives, no resource bundling, short 5 minute billing segments and more. We are pushing IaaS towards true utility computing. Full information is available via www.cloudsigma.com . We’d also like to mention our IaaS platform based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Telstra - Australia's biggest telco has just announced (on 17th August) a $500m investment into cloud computing which is pretty huge. Thanks for the info.

Amazon EC2, ElasticHosts, GoGrid and FlexiScale are examples of commercial cloud providers of elastic capacity, offering a public interface for remote management of virtualized server instances within their proprietary infrastructure. With the growing popularity of these cloud offerings, an ecosystem of tools is emerging that can be used to transform an organization’s existing infrastructure into a public cloud. Technologies, such as Globus Nimbus or Eucalyptus, provide an open-source implementation of cloud-like public interfaces, and projects, such as RESERVOIR, are developing open-source toolkits for building any cloud architecture.

Libvirt is evolving into a very rich and widely used interface to manage the virtualization capabilities of a server, including virtual network, storage and domain management. So, libvirt can be a very effective administration interface for a private cloud exposing a complete set of VM and physical node operations. In this way, libvirt + OpenNebula provides a powerful abstraction for your private cloud.
