Go Cloud is a software platform for the building of Cloud infrastructures within a Service Provider or company data center. Built on KVM/QEMU technology, it supports many currently used Guest OS systems including Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 7/XP, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuse, CentOS and Fedora. Current features available: * Web based management console, * Public web API, * SDK - software development kit, * Detailed utilization metering in real-time with high-res history records, * Automated Billing, * Provisioning and instant delivery of virtual servers, * On demand capacity scaling of servers Go Cloud complies strictly to “Gartner’s Five Refining Attributes of Public and Private Cloud Computing". These principles include that the Cloud deployed be: # A Service-Based Solution, whereby the interfaces hides the implementation details and enables a completely automated response by the provider to the consumer of the service, # Scalable and Elastic, so that Services are scaleable bi-directionally as consumers demand more or less resources and at the speed of full automation # Shared, a pool of resources is shared to build economies of scale. IT assets are used with maximum efficiency. # Metered by Use, usage metrics are deployed to measure services provided and to invoice by multiple payment models. # Deployed via Internet Technologies, services are delivered using Internet protocols and identifiers, such as URLs, HTTP, IP and Web-oriented architectures. Witsbits AB, with offices in Gothenburg, Sweden and Redwood City, California USA is the founder of Go Cloud. The company is currently funded by Chalmers Innovations Seed Fund.
