Thread: Controller Server

To begin with, let's first identify what all we need to build a Cloud. Of course we need some servers, which will be the nodes of the Cloud, and then we need a Controller Server, which will manage the complete cloud. To connect all of these, we will require a network, preferably a Gbps network, and we will need a clustering and a virtualization middleware. Here all the software we are going to use is open source or free and is available for download. And if you are going to do a test setup of cloud for understanding and research, only two servers will be more than enough for you. You don't need to worry about spending a huge amountofmoney in this deployment. You can just do a test run in your backyard.
