Morphlabs, a member of the OpenStack Foundation that produces integrated Infrastructure-as-a-Service platforms, has launched mCloud Osmium, a modular OpenStack-powered public cloud platform that service providers can use to implement highly scalable public clouds quickly without the usual R&D or serious capital expenditures.
It’s a scalable multi-tenant public cloud solution with built-in billing software that’s supposed to let SPs compete with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on price and performance.
Using its highly configurable structure, Morphlabs says SPs can begin building public cloud infrastructures in 100 vCPU and 15TB blocks that scale as needed. The compute block runs $1,000 and the storage block $1,500. TCO over four years is advertised as being $115,000.
