An Open Cirrus paper is featured in the latest issue of IEEE Computer magazine as a cover story on Cloud Computing. After two successful Open Cirrus summits conducted in the US (see links off of
http://opencirrus.org ), a third summit is scheduled to take place in Korea. Discussions are in progress about subsequent summits to be held in Malaysia, Russia, and Singapore. Significant use of the Open Cirrus infrastructure by HP Labs researchers and a few external universities is ongoing. We are also pursuing the internal development of the Open Cirrus management stack in terms of the Cloud Sustainability Dashboard and Open Cirrus Reservation system. We are also excited about new site additions to Open Cirrus. At the moment we are in late legal discussions with four more sites and at various stages with four additional sites. At this pace, we can easily beat Moore’s law and double the size every year. You can read more about Open Cirrus in the IEEE Computer magazine cover story.
