Hi Tom,
Of course I can post my work here. The problem is that the document is written in Portuguese.
It is a project for course conclusion.
I am proposing a cloud computing platform to virtualize computers and servers. So, in this work I defined physical computer, virtual environment, types of virtualization and cloud computing (what it is, how to use it, deliver model and etc.) Then a described the most used cloud computing platforms (At least the platforms that I know are the most used). The platforms that I am describing are Xen Cloud Platform, VMware, and Microsoft and IBM cloud solutions. Now I am writing about the relationship between Mainframe and cloud computing. I am showing why I think that IBM cloud solution (System Z enterprise, Z/vm and Tivoli) is one of the best way to apply the cloud computing concepts. And Finally I am proposing the use of Mainframe platform to apply the cloud computing concepts to deliver infrastructure as a service. I am not an IBMer, yet. I think the Mainframe (System Z) and its architecture are the best platform to apply the cloud computing concepts

Hi Raphael,
It would be nice if you post your work here, if possible, of course.

Xen Cloud Platform maximum configurations

Hey guys,

I am writing about Cloud computing platform. So I need to describe the
platforms that are used the most. I described the VMware platform,
Microsoft
and I would like to describe the Xen Cloud Platform. Then I will compare
those platforms and show some real use cases.

So, I found some information about the XCP on these links:
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX123996

http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/5.6.0/1.0/en_gb/guest.html#creatingVMs_supported_OS_minimums


http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/5.6.0/1.0/en_gb/installation.html#sys_requirements-host


I am still missing some information such as:

·         The maximum amount of disk that a VM can use;

·         The maximum number of virtual processor per host processor;

·         The maximum number of virtual machines on a host;

·         The maximum number of virtual processors on a host;

·         The maximum amount of storage that XCP can use;

·         The maximum number of hosts on a XCP cluster

·         The maximum number of virtual machines on a XCP cluster



Does anyone know a document made by Xen or Citrix that has this kind of
information?


Take a look at:

Thanks,
Todd
