原文:OpenLogic is launching a platform-as-a-service offering that aims to give users the flexibility that many developers like about infrastructure-as-a-service without the work.
CloudSwing offers stacks for Java, Ruby, PHP, and JavaScript with platforms based on Rails, Tomcat, LAMP, node.js, and nginx. Users can run the platform on Amazon or RackSpace and eventually on their own private clouds as well.
译文:许多开发者喜欢IaaS的灵活性,OpenLogic推出了PaaS,旨在提供给用户这种灵活性。CloudSwing用基于Rails, Tomcat, LAMP, node.js和nginx的平台,为Java, Ruby, PHP和JavaScript 提供了堆栈。用户可在亚马逊或是RackSpace中运行此平台,并最终运用于自己的私有云。
原文:If an enterprise customer of CloudSwing uses a different version of Tomcat and a different database, for example, than those built into the standard CloudSwing stack, the enterprise can swap in its own preferences and save that stack in its private library for use by its developers going forward. "They can take that stack we've created as a starting point and make those changes once," said Kim Weins, senior vice president of marketing for OpenLogic. "Now that can be the standard for all their developers."
译文:例如,如果CloudSwing 的一个企业顾客使用的Tomcat 版本和数据库不同于CloudSwing 中已有的标准堆栈,企业可以换入自己偏爱的堆栈,然后将其保存在个人图书馆中,以便开发者继续工作。OpenLogic市场部高级副总裁Kim Weins说:“他们可以把我们创造的堆栈当做一个出发点,然后做一次改变来规范他们的开发者。”
原文:With that kind of flexibility, the service begins to have some of the attraction of an infrastructure-as-a-service offering, but still saves users some work, she said. "If you start with IaaS and build a platform on it, it's still a fair amount of work and effort to do that," she said. "Especially when you're in an enterprise where experience in the cloud is still building up, it can be a big barrier to entry to just get going."
译文:有了这种灵活性,服务开始有了提供IaaS(基础设施即服务)的吸引力,而且还节省了用户的一些工作,Kim Weins说:“目前,以IaaS为开端推出一个平台还是一项大工程,并且需要为此付出努力,特别是当你身在一家正在积累云计算经验的企业时,开始实行就会是一个巨大的障碍。”
原文:Customers will be able to use the stack across multiple clouds. OpenLogic is still working on supporting enterprise cloud deployments, which requires the company to build APIs (application programming interfaces) and accommodate for security aspects unique to private clouds that are built behind the firewall, Weins said.
译文:Weins说,用户可在多个云之间使用堆栈。OpenLogic仍致力于支持企业云部署,这需要公司创建API(应用编程接口),并要顾及基于防火墙建造的私有云独有的安全问题。
原文:In addition to flexibility, OpenLogic thinks CloudSwing will be attractive to users for its cost-tracking capabilities. Companies will be able to track usage and cost of public and private clouds through CloudSwing. In future versions, they will be able to do so on a per-app basis.
译文:除灵活性外,OpenLogic认为CloudSwing的成本跟踪能力也吸引着用户。公司可通过CloudSwing跟踪公共云和私有云的使用和成本。未来的版本可在每个应用程序中进行跟踪。
原文:OpenLogic, which has its roots in support services for open-source software, will also offer services to CloudSwing customers who might need help using software in the cloud. "It does require different knowledge, different skills than what operations teams might be used to behind the firewall," she said. "How you configure servers, how you deal with performance, how you deal with failover. Those things are not quite the same in the cloud as they are in the data center."
译文:OpenLogic的根本任务是提供开源软件服务,但有些客户需要得到在云中使用软件的帮助,OpenLogic也将为这些CloudSwing 用户提供服务。Weins说:“这需要不同于运营团队在防火墙方面常用的知识和技巧。在云计算和数据中心中,配置服务器的方式、处理工作性能的方式以及处理故障转移的方式不是完全相同的。”
原文:Around 100 people have been using a private beta of CloudSwing, which becomes available to anyone on Thursday. A free version lets three people share an account and run five applications. That offer includes 15 hours of usage on Amazon and 15 hours on Rackspace.
译文:约有100人已经开始使用CloudSwing的测试版,周四将普及应用。免费版可让三人共享一个账户并运行五个应用程序。包括15小时的亚马逊使用和15小时的Rackspace使用。
原文:Pricing otherwise starts at $30 per month for a single developer and up to $700 per month for an enterprise that has hundreds or thousands of developers.
译文:定价从每月30美元到每月700美元不等,一个开发者每月30美元,拥有数百或数千开发者的企业每月为700美元。
原文:CloudSwing joins a growing number of PaaS offerings that support multiple languages. Heroku became one of the best known to do so and it now supports Java, Nod.js, Clojure, Python and Scala, in addition to Ruby. VMware's Cloud Foundry supports Spring for Java, Ruby on Rails and Sinatra for Ruby.
译文:CloudSwing加入了越来越多支持多种语言的PaaS。Heroku成为其中最知名的一个,除Ruby外,现支持Java, Nod.js, Clojure, Python 和Scala。VMware的Cloud Foundry支持 Java的 Spring ,Ruby on Rails 和Ruby的Sinatra 。
