Private OpenStack Installation

Posted on 11/7/2014 by SuperUser Account

Features

Debian Jessie OS -  Icehouse Release

4 Server Configuration - Controller/Image/Network/Compute nodes

Nodes use bonded ethernet for 2Gigabit throughput

SSD Drives used for fast compute node storage

HP Servers used with AES Instruction set CPU's for high speed IPSEC vpn.

Openstack API is on a secure, private network

Limitations

Internal network is setup to use vlans(GRE is another technolgy that could be used) *200Max

Nodes use bonded ethernet for 2Gigabit throughput (10Gigabit would be nice)

Openstack API is on a secure, private network (to be a openstack provider you would need to open up access to API)

Other Equipment Needed

Virtual Router for vpn access to private cloud network.

Backup system for the cloud system.
