when necessary.

Current Situation
Private, Hybrid and Public Cloud investigation and adoption is increasing. Evaluation, Development, Testing and Demonstration environments are getting increasingly complex and expensive. Multi-node High Speed, multi-Network Persistent Storage IT is being asked to provide more compute, storage, networking and services for eval, dev, test, training and demo environments.

The Need
A multi-node desktop Cloud compute environment at a reasonable price. Requirements Minimum of 4, x86 compute nodes Run a variety of hypervisors and operating systems. High Speed Networking dual Gb Ethernet nics External Persistent Storage NFS, CIFS, HTTP, FTP Green low power consumption Powerful - run multiple vms on a single node Low cost Compact Expandable Standard Power and not a loud blast furnace

The Future, Now

CriKit is more than a Desktop Private Cloud It is a miniature Data Center Represents the future of Small Business Computing Some number of compute nodes doing local computing tied into the Public Cloud making a Hybrid model will be very common in the future. CriKit does that today. Investigate this new computing paradigm today !
