Dell, Equinix, and Rackspace, on Wednesday announced that they have collaborated to develop an OpenStack cloud demonstration and test environment. The demo environment will be available in three data centers: the Equinix International Business Exchange in Silicon Valley, Ca and Ashburn, Va, and the Rackspace data center in Chicago, Ill. The companies also plan to collaborate on additional demo environments in Equinix data centers in Europe and Asia in the second quarter of 2011. The demonstration environment allows organizations to easily and rapidly assess applications on the open-source cloud platform, simplifying the evaluation process and speeding the deployment of OpenStack proof of concepts (POCs). It is the first demonstration of an open standard platform where geographically dispersed OpenStack clouds can offer customers the ability to move applications and workloads between them.
OpenStack is a collection of open-source technologies delivering a massively scalable cloud platform for public and private clouds. Originally founded by Rackspace and NASA, OpenStack has grown to be a global software community of developers, technologists, researchers and more than 50 organizations collaborating to help enable any organization to create and offer cloud computing services running on standard hardware.

As we’ve seen with some of the recent high profile internet attacks, like HBGary, RSA, Google, Comodo and others, no one is immune from being a target and the perpetrators are exceedingly organized, exceptionally skilled and extremely well-funded. Often, the culprits might be better trained than the IT staff deployed to thwart the attacks. The attacks are targeted, elaborate and aggressive, not to mention a bit creative. The attacks are multi-layered in that once one type of attack settles in, another can and will crop up. They are not simply looking to deface a website but they are attempting to steal valuable data. Customer data, intellectual property, state secrets, SSL certificates and other proprietary, highly sensitive information are the top targets. The malware and other penetration techniques are custom made, can adapt and can cover the tracks of those seeking the information. They may start at the network level with DNS, ICMP or SYN flood attacks, then move to the application with Layer 7 DoS, SQL injection, or Cross-site scripts and once compromised, go after the data. Often they try to leave ‘back-doors’ so they can come and go as they please before being detected. And the targets are changing. A couple years ago it was retail and financial, like Target and Heartland, that were getting attacked and while those industries are still coveted kills, security companies, sensitive corporate secrets, and the internet’s overall infrastructure seem to be especially savory these days.
