FCA Members are Demotera, IEOLO, Linbit, Mandriva, Nexedi and TioLive. FCA
members operate in Austria, Brazil, France, Japan, Sénégal and Austria.
Most solutions of FCA members are production ready and designed based on
customer requirements.
For example, AtikTeam software by Demotera is a SaaS service which provides
online project management. It is used by 300 companies including universities such
as ParisTech or government agencies such as DREAL PACA.
Sadly, AtikTeam is not yet available in English. Demotera hopes that the Free Cloud
Alliance will help AtikTeam to become international. So, if someone wants to start a
SaaS business arround project management, write to [email protected].
This is the power of Open Source Cloud: everyone is Free to reuse our solutions and
compete with our members.
TioLive ERP/CRM has more than 8,000 companies registered. IELO hosts the largest
provider of adult video in Europe.
And, Linbit, a new member of FCA, recently got its technology accepted in Linux
kernel. Congratulation!
Some solutions of FCA have been released recently and start to be used in
production. This is the case of NEO storage server by Nexedi and XtreemFS created
by Zuse Institute Berlin and which is commercialy supported by Mandriva.
FCA also welcomes solutions which are “technology preview” such as SLAPGRID
whenever they contribute to major scientific advances in Cloud Computing.

● Open Source Solutions Catalog● IaaS / PaaS / SaaS

FCA has a web site: www.freecloudalliance.org
This web site provides information about open source cloud computing solution
thanks to an online catalog. You can find there solutions of FCA members but also
solutions from other providers and alliances. For example, Java technologies
provided by OW2 consortium are listed in the catalog. Fee free to contribute to it.
FCA provides guidelines to assess Cloud Computing solutions and Cloud Computing
vendors.
Our guideline on Cloud revertability can be used to assess whether a Cloud
Computing provider gives you access to all the information which a company needs
to “escape” from a Cloud Computing provider, and thus to reduce risks of lock-in. It
is based on the “TIO Libre” (tio.ffii.org) definition created in 2008 by a group of
experts of FFII. In short, if you subscribe to a service, can you get back your data
including access logs (Data Freedom), get back the source code which you need to
run the same application (Software Freefom) and ask a different provider to host it
(Competition Freedom).
FFII was for example the leader of the successful campaign in Europe to prevent
software patents from stiffling innovation. FFII won at the European Parliament
against the largest proprietary companies. So, if FFII approves “TIO Libre”
guidelines, it really means that those guidelines protect you against anti-
competitive lock-ins.
FCA also provides an guideline to assess your favourite open source vendor and
make sure that he really believes in open source for himself as much as he tells you
he does for what he sells to you.

Latest News
● Largest Customer Support Application in Ireland
● Beteireflow
● 300 concurrent users
● Linbit joins FCA● Demotera joins FCA
www.freecloudalliance.org/news
FCA web site also has some news. So, please subscribe to it through RSS for
example.
Among recent news, TioLive, an FCA member, just succeeded the implementation of
the largest customer support application in Ireland for the M50 highway. With 300
concurrent users and millions of documents or transactions, it is the proof tha open
source Cloud can be used in the Enterprise for mission critical applications in the
field of ERP or CRM.
Other news: Linbit has joined FCA. This is a great news. It also shows the diversity of
FCA in terms of solutions: python based, ruby based, java based and.... plain C
based. FCA has no religion on languages and technologies as long as they work.
Other news: Demotera with Atikteam. It is really a great SaaS for project
management. Many users of proprietary project mengement SaaS should have a
look at it. I even found recently that the sofyware which Atikteam is based on,
Redmine, is being used by Airbus.

FCA Storage Solutions
XS2 POSIX Storageglobal
BS2 Block Storagehigh performance
NS2 Object Storagetransactional
Let us go into some detail about FCA solutions.
Storage is one of the most important point in Cloud. There is a theorem in computer
science, the CAP theorem, which says that you can not get everything at once in a
storage solution: availability, consistency and partitioning. This is why FCA has
diverse solutions, since to universal solution can exist.
XtreemFS is a good solution to spread files all over the world with a unique POSIX
interface. It supports network disconnection. It supports Linux and Windows.
Mandriva, supports commercial implementations of XtreemFS.
Linbit DRBD is a great way to build a high performance redundant storage server.
IEOLO uses DRBD as one of the storage backend component in NiftyName, so that
storages are replicated on the same site and on different sites. Consider DRBD as
the equivalent of a software SAN at the core of Linux kernel.
Nexedi's NEO is a transactional distributed storage system. Compared to XtreemFS,
it provides transactions and consistency but can not (yet) be used very efficiently
over wide area networks.

FCA PaaS General Purpose
3 days customizationAll Through The Web
TioLive, a general purpose PaaS part of FCA solutions, can be used to create SaaS
services very quickly. TioLive includes all the standard design patterns and business
workflows of an ERP or a CRM. It also includes a skinning engine and a gadget
engine.
Creating a custom application can be achieved entirely through the Web by
configuring dialogs, workflows and adding scripts. In the above example, the
standard TioLive was customized by a group of bachelor students in 3 days to
cerate a CRM application which was inspired by a famous CRM SaaS.
So, if bachelor students can create in 3 days such an application “All Through The
Web”, it means that TioLive can be also used to provide to all divisions and
subsidiaries of large company a consistent, a Web based environment, which they
can user for ERP, for CRM, for business applications and which they quickly
customize to their local needs.

Demo 1: NiftyName
http://www.niftyname.org/doc/zigui-video-tutorial/
Let us now have a look at our first demo.
We will show you how to create a virtual machine, a virtual storage and a virtual
network. What is great with NiftyName is its performance, and its simplicity. Source
code of NiftyName is only a few thousand lines. But you'll see, it does so much. And
the performance is definitely the best on the market with true redundancy of
storage, network and virtual machines, as well as with support of hybrid clouds
consisting of a combination of hardware servers and virtual machines.

Demo 2: SLAPGRID
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xd7fy8_tiolive-grid-demo_tech
Let us have a look at our second demo. This could be the future of the Cloud:
decentralized.
You'll see in this video that we could all become in the very close future cloud
computing providers by connecting a server at home. Distributed Cloud Computing
combines economies of scale typical of Cloud environments and cancels the Law of
diminishing returns.
In short, it is as cheap to manage, but much cheaper for electricity, cooling,
location, network. And it can resist much better to incidents because it is really
distributed in thousands of houses or micro-datacenters.
