Re: [Xen-users] Xen Cloud Platform maximum configurations

["Rafael Weingartner" <rafaelweingartner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,
Of course I can post my work here. The problem is that the document is 
written in Portuguese.
It is a project for course conclusion.
I am proposing a cloud computing platform to virtualize computers and 
servers.
So, in this work I defined physical computer, virtual environment, types of 
virtualization and cloud computing (what it is, how to use it, deliver model 
and etc.)
Then a described the most used cloud computing platforms (At least the 
platforms that I know are the most used). The platforms that I am describing 
are Xen Cloud Platform, VMware, and Microsoft and IBM cloud solutions.
Now I am writing about the relationship between Mainframe and cloud 
computing. I am showing why I think that IBM cloud solution (System Z 
enterprise, Z/vm and Tivoli) is one of the best way to apply the cloud 
computing concepts.
And Finally I am proposing the use of Mainframe platform to apply the cloud 
computing concepts to deliver infrastructure as a service.
I am not an IBMer, yet. I think the Mainframe (System Z) and its 
architecture are the best platform to apply the cloud computing concepts

Hi Raphael,
It would be nice if you post your work here, if possible, of course.
