Cloud In a Box Appliance
Cloud In a Box Appliance
I would like to develop a product and service offering as per this idea. I kindly request the kind heart people to support it and help me in attaining my dream.
This solution will be surely hit. The reasons are as follows
- With the advent of mobile and cloud application adoption. There is a dire need of the backend platforms for hosting these applications cheaply. Though, we have the Amazons and OpenShifts, still their pricing are un-affordable according to me.
- I would like to start a data center revolution in India. As India faces acute power shortage, we need cheap and power efficient computing. We require a solution that requires cheap or zero cooling to save power. Thus, the low cost SBC meets our needs. Also, they can run on Solar or renewable energy. The Pis, Cubies and Odroids consume power in the range of just 10 to 15 watts.
- While most of the DCs are around US and Europe, our information and data is stored across the border. I knew NSA is watching me while I am typing this :). This cost effective solution is for the developing market like India and Rest of the World.
- With the "Make in India" program, we are going to see the cost of electronic chip manufacturing going down. The above mentioned SBCs are the boards that go in your smart phones and tablets.
- ARM is the cheap and best platform out there and we are going to see this market growing.
- GNU/Linux has proved its capability in the server, smart phone and embedded systems market. Its share is only going to increase because of its open source nature and innovation.
- Linux containers and Docker are the first right step in the cloud applications market. Its adoption is only going to increase. M$ is also in the competition in this containerization market.
- With the e-commerce market booming, we are going to see the likes of flipkarts and snapdeals increasing. Running a full fledged data center is not an affordable solution and this solution is going to fill this gap. Going all public may not work for all. Since, the current cloud providers don't have a solution to cloud security.
I would like to create a start up based on this business model under my brand "Fourvees". I request the people to donate or fund for it in order to make this real. I am writing this post after such a long time after dreaming. I am confident that this market will grow and there is really a long way to go ...... Come lets "Make in India"....
