Cloud computing is in high demand. In as adoption grows, companies have more and more resources, apps, data residing on various platforms. In this digital era, it's not public vs private. It's the combination of both. It's cloud and conventional IT. By the end of this year alone, 60-70 percent of companies will have a hybrid cloud environment.
So how they would be able to manage across their computing platforms? How can they use their resources accordingly to accomplish their IT tasks? I guess it's time for a private or a hybrid cloud solution.
Softblessoffers 2 forms of open source cloud computing: private cloud and hybrid cloud. Depending on the type of date that you will be working with, you'll want to know them in terms of the levels of security and, of course, the data management required.
Private Cloud
These days, companies rarely deploy all of their applications into the public cloud. Logistically speaking, it is easier to move from your on-premises development environment to a private cloud compared to on-premise servers to a public cloud.
A private cloud can be setup or configured to support any type of application, just like data center currently hosts it. A private cloud is an ideal option if certain features in legacy applications prevent some applications from operating well in the public cloud.
Here are some indicators or scenarios that a private cloud environment is best.
You are using a shared storage (AWS, RDS, is not HIPAA-compliant) and you need a dedicated infrastructure for compliance.
You need HPFS, a high-performance access to a file system.
You have applications that come with predictable usage patterns and offer low storage costs.
You have an application that is unstable and heavily trafficked, but your IT team is not familiar with it, and may need to partially rewrite it in the cloud.
Your IT Team is not trained or equipped with the knowledge for migrating the application in a cost-effective manner.
A private cloud solution can be implemented in any data centers with a virtualization layer like VMware, though some mid-sized to big companies allow a managed private cloud services providers like Softbless to maintain their servers, data storage, secured network, and application infrastructure.
Hybrid Cloud
Most enterprises are going to pursue a hybrid cloud solution this year. It is used for a certain situation where an enterprise architecture is too complex that a hybrid cloud solution — where the private or public infrastructure supports the application — is the right solution.
Hybrid Clouds are being used by large organizations because they want to fully explore the flexibility and scalability of the public and/or private cloud. It is mostly used to tighten the security of their network, for performance monitoring, testing, and for data ingress and egress procedures. By spreading the tasks at hand over a hybrid cloud, you would be able to keep every aspect at your business in the most efficient manner possible. The only drawback here is that you have to monitor all your security platforms and ensure that all of them can communicate with each other.
Here are some indicators or scenarios that a hybrid cloud environment is best.
Your company uses a SaaS application but not secured. Your SaaS provider can set up a private cloud just for your company in their firewall. They also provide you with a VPN for additional security for your network.
Your company provides services for various vertical markets. You can use a public cloud to communicate with your clients whilst keeping their data safe within a private cloud.
Benefits
Reduced / Lower costs –Since it's an open source like OpenStack, you can save up to 60% on public cloud costs, reduce your data center costs by a third, and efficiently use all the needed resources at the right time.
Better application performance – It enables administrators to work on private clouds that meet all the application requirements and performance needs. You’d be able to take advantage of all the benefits of the cloud development practices without risking your companies’ data management. Build applications in-house can be done faster than ever as our solution eliminates time lost to provisioning along with the costs involving the public cloud. We also provide developers and operations teams with AWS APIs compatible private clouds that can optimize development and test cycles whilst maintaining information governance and control.
Greater organization agility – it helps companies grow their revenue by allowing developers to get the information technology resources that they need in timely manner – no delays or hiccups. Its AWS compatibility is unique which ensures that applications are easily deployed in public, private, or hybrid cloud setup.

E-learning is a platform usually developed for large-scale enterprises, that makes delivery of learning content and resources between trainee and instructor a lot easier. Most of them these days are web-based so that training or learning materials and administration are accessible anytime, anywhere. To put it simply, it is a tool to manage the training/learning function.
In this digital era, a lot of software for administering complex databases has been combined with various frameworks for managing training content, and project evaluation methods and tools. This allows for trainee registration, delivery of learning materials, virtual live classes, testing, evaluation, certifications, management of classes, and resource allocation. It's a billion-dollar industry that enables organizations to develop e-learning courses, deliver it with unprecedented flexibility, and manage its usage over a period of time.
Manage, Store and distribute your learning content more EfficientFlexibleOrganized
The E-Learning is a powerful tool for companies that specialize in training, schools, or any institution looking to get a better understanding on the continuing education of its staff. It's based on various development platforms such like Java, or .NET, that makes use of a reliable database back-end. Most learning management systems are commercially developed, but there are free and open-source models like moodle that exist.
The most common application of E-Learning is in educational institutions. It's being used to deliver courses in schools and to promote E-Learning. Companies like Softbless use the platform to deliver training to their staff or employees and also their customers.
E-learning can be the right solution if your institution/company encounters problems such as the following:
Difficult to distribute the learning content
Costs are too high to store and maintain learning content in physical form
Requires high effort to create a quiz, survey or registration
The difficulty of knowing the assessment of learning comprehension
The interaction between instructor and trainee is not optimal
Learning content is vulnerable to be disseminated to unwanted parties
Storage of learning content that is still manual in physical form requires a lot of space capacity. Manual storage can cause learning content to be unstructured.
The above problems can easily be overcome if the institution/company has a E-Learning.
E-learning Components:
There are close to 500 variants of E-Learning available (for purchase or free) today. Each comes with its own feature set to meet the requirements of trainers and instructors. Some common components that can be found in most learning platforms are:
Roster - it is the component that tracks attendance, send invites, to class participants and track response
Registration - it processes and monitors the multi-faceted class or e-learning registrations
Document Management - management of digital documents, and/or training content
Device Access - it is how the course content is going to be delivered (it can be web-based or installed)
Distributed trainers and participants - online participation by the trainers or participants allows the learning program to feature multiple trainers or experts Worldwide

OpenStack is an open source cloud-computing platform that allows users to build an "IAAS" Infrastructure as a Service cloud that runs massively on commodity hardware and scales. It controls large pools of cloud computing components all throughout a datacenter, all managed via a dashboard that provides administrators full control while providing users the ability to provision resources via a web interface.
Components of OpenStack
Dashboard codenamed “Horizon” - this object is the "GUI" graphical user interface for OpenStack services that allows you to perform tasks and operations on the cloud.
Object Store codenamed “Swift” - This component provides object storage, allowing you to store and/or retrieve files. It does not mount directories though unlike a fileserver.
Identity codenamed “Keystone” - As its name suggests, this provides authentication and authorization for all the services. It also provides a service catalog of OpenStack services within a particular cloud.
Network codenamed “Neutron” - Also known as “Quantum” in earlier releases, this OpenStack object provides network connectivity between interface devices managed by other OpenStack services (virtual servers) most likely Nova. It is in a form of a service which works by allowing you to create your own network and then attach interface devices to them.
Image codenamed “Glance” - It provides a repository for virtual images. This is where the disk images (mostly commonly used in OpenStack Compute) are sorted out or being cataloged.
Compute codenamed “Nova” - This object allows you to control the OpenStack functions and services independently via a virtual server running on a flexible virtualization layer.
Block Storage codenamed “Cinder” - This persistently block storage to guest Virtual Machines.
Cloud computing has become the ideal platform of choice by big IT companies Worldwide including Google. Why? Number one, it's truly open, two it's free, and lastly the fast pace growth and strong support from various organizations. No wonder it's being dubbed as the "de facto" platform for cloud computing.
The future is bright indeed for Openstack - something very similar from the likes of Linux for PCs and Android for mobile devices.
It is an open-source project that has a lot of features, and with each release (two times a year) more features are added by the users from all over the world. This platform layer offers an (IaaS) Infrastructure-as-a-Service through a set of services that make use of an (API) application programming interface (API) to facilitate the integration. Depending on your requirements, you can install some or all the services.
To put it simply, OpenStack simplifies your IT needs and operations by moving your core infrastructure equipment onto the cloud. Companies no longer need to buy expensive systems like LMS (moodle), surveillance, or telephony systems. They also don’t need to maintain servers, firewalls, on their premises. OpenStack has all the right tools to perform all these tasks for them on virtualized infrastructure. The result is faster service delivery and, of course, an enhanced user experience. Moreover, it also features an easy to use interface (dashboard) that will allow them to manage computers, network, and storage resources on the cloud in a jiffy. This provides a huge benefit to them, but will likely result to lower requirements for IT staffing.
And since OpenStack is created in the public, at any time users or developers can check the status of the project, review/submit code, create a new feature, and provide valuable feedback into the direction of this popular open source project just like with the Totara LMS.
Softbless is your partner for Openstack implementation in Indonesia. Whether you're looking for more answers, solutions, or would like to have a deep technical discussion about OpenStack, Iaas, or cloud computing, we can help. Contact us now.
