Recently over on my Network World blog I wrote about a new service from the folks over at Rackspace Cloud Builders (Rackspace is a partner of Alert Logic). They have released Rackspace Cloud:Private Edition. It is based on the Rackspace Cloud, the 2nd largest public cloud and on OpenStack. The open source cloud platform which so many companies are supporting now.
The new service to me represents a new category called Cloud Management as a Service (CMaaS). Cloud Builders will not only help you set up your own cloud where ever you want, they will manage it for you to. In that regard, it is not different than the concept behind Security as a Service (Sec-aaS) at Alert Logic. Security that goes wherever IT goes and can be managed for you.
Anyway I had a chance to sit down with Jim Curry, GM of Cloud Builders and Jesse Andrews who is a key technical person at Cloud Builders. I recorded this for the Open Network on Network World but thought readers of Secure Cloud Review would find it interesting. Below is the podcast of our conversation.
Enjoy!
