How is that cloud? Isn't that just... a server?
- theonewolf 12y agoFirst, what I meant, was in its past life it was in a cloud probably. Secondly, I do cloud research. I run a modified KVM/QEMU hypervisor. I run a cloud with features you can not find anywhere else in the world today. So, it is, indeed, a mini-home cloud :-)
- morganvachon 12y agoI think he meant it's a repurposed cloud server, i.e. in its original home it was used in a cloud computing scenario. I'm with everyone else though, in thinking that a good quality workstation would be a better fit for his purposes. For the same $300 you can get a decent workstation with a quad core CPU and hardware virtualization on eBay that can handle 32GB of memory, and room in the case for at least 2 HDDs and 4 SSDs if you use a stacking mount.
