Thus you can run your software locally or at Amazon and switch between them any time you want.

The thing is that this sever is ready to create cloud instances just as if you were doing the same in Amazon (the API thing, you know)

So instead of installing stuff to Amazon's setup, you have your own, running on servers in your server room.

I think it's quite cool. Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (polaris20) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?460828 http://www.osnews.com/thread?460828 Dell's cloud servers have synergistic 2.0 web relevance.

Maybe they are just lamp stacks with some additional software that you could install yourself but discussing technology in such clear terms isn't good for marketing or tech articles. Thu, 03 Feb 2011 20:10:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (nt_jerkface) Comments
