2、Intel invests in cloud management company

A company that makes a cloud management system is getting a $14 million investment from Intel and others, which it will use to hire new employees

 

The investment will be used to hire people who help deliver its services, Jackson said

 

Paul Burns, an analyst at Neovise in Fort Collins, Col., said the overall cloud management tool space is fairly immature and experiencing a lot of new firms, "

 

Investors in Adaptive include Intel Capital, Tudor Ventures and Epic Ventures. Intel Capital says it has invested more than $9.5 billion in over 1,000 companies in the last two decades.

Intel's reach continues to expand, most recently with the purchase of McAfee for $7.86 billion.

 

三层意思：a 一个公司获得0.14亿美元，这个公司有9年的历史，75名员工。b云管理平台是个不成熟的市场，有成长前景。c英特尔20年内用于超过1000个公司的投资超过95亿美元，而最近考虑收购麦咖啡，斥资接近78.6亿美元。可见麦咖啡的价值。

3、Citrix buys virtualization vendor VMLogix

这篇文章信息比较多

first I want the economics and elasticity of the cloud today in my existing data center

Second I want the flexibility to move workloads as it makes sense between private and public clouds, with security and performance assured.

And third I want the flexibility to change and move providers

思杰公司的一位主要负责人，道出了3个客户需求

 

 

Citrix plans to announce Monday that it will buy VMLogix as part of a larger push to offer more self-service tools and address concerns like vendor lock-in facing enterprises using the cloud.

VMLogix is a provider of virtualization automation and management technologies. Citrix expects to include some of the technologies from VMLogix in its next free XenServer release, which will allow enterprise users to set up virtual services on internal computing resources in the same way they do on public clouds. Typically, public cloud providers let users order up compute services online and start using them immediately.

计划收购VMLogix公司，这个公司主要是提供虚拟化自动部署及管理技术。思杰表示将来会将该技术用于公共云。

 

Citrix will also add technology from VMLogix to its Citrix OpenCloud platform so that its public-cloud-provider customers can offer lifecycle management capabilities like quality assurance and business continuity.

也会把该公司的部分技术增加到开放云平台中。

 

 

Citrix also reiterated its support for OpenStack, the group led by Rackspace and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration that is working on open-source tools designed to make it easier for companies to work with multiple cloud providers. At VMWorld next week, Citrix will demonstrate managing workloads across XenServer machines running in an on-premise cloud and virtual machines running in a public cloud that uses OpenStack, from a single management console.

思杰也会支持openStack，将其纳入公有云管理体系。

 

Citrix said it will add virtual switching capabilities to OpenCloud using Open vSwitch, an open-source virtual switch that supports the OpenFlow protocol. The idea is to make it easier for cloud providers to build isolated multitenant clouds while offering dynamic policies.

增加虚拟交换机的功能到开放云中（我理解就是开源云xcp），使用open vSwitch
