>As cloud computing has moved beyond hype, becoming a true

>reconfiguration, making it possible for users to instantly realize the
>benefits of the cloud.

>CloudStack Community Edition delivers several benefits including:
>
>o Massive computing power - providing virtually unlimited CPUs
> on-demand, as required and billed by actual usage in public, private
> or hybrid deployments.
>o Powerful API - Easily build, integrate and use applications based on
> common cloud APIs like Amazon's Web Services API, Citrix Cloud CenterT
> (C3) API and the vCloud API
>o Secure Cloud Computing - Isolating compute, network, and storage
> resources by user, location and deployment.
>o Comprehensive Service Management - Defining, metering, deploying and
> managing services to be consumed within your cloud.
>o Automated resource distribution - delivering capabilities to automate
> the distribution of compute, network and storage while adhering to
> defined policies on load balancing, data security and compliance.
>o Real-time visibility and reporting capabilities - ensuring compliance,
> security and comprehensive metering customer usage.
>o Simplified management - empowering administrators to offset the daily
> management of services to the end users with a powerful self-service
> portal that gives the day-to-day management tasks to the user,
> enabling administrators to focus on more business critical issues
> while giving the client more control and agility over the service by
> providing a catalog of custom built and pre-defined machine images.
