The Open Cloud Consortium (OCC):
- Supports the development of standards for cloud computing and frameworks for interoperating between clouds;
- develops benchmarks for cloud computing;
- supports reference implementations for cloud computing, preferably open source reference implementations;
- manages a testbed for cloud computing called the Open Cloud Testbed;
- sponsors workshops and other events related to cloud computing.
The Open Cloud Consortium is organized into different working groups.
Hadoop
Hadoop is the most wide deployed open source software for processing large amounts of data using cloud computing. It is available fromhadoop.apache.org/core.
Hadoop is:
- Scalable: Hadoop can reliably store and process petabytes.
- Reliable: Hadoop automatically maintains multiple copies of data and automatically redeploys computing tasks based on failures.
- Supports MapReduce: Hadoop includes an implementation of MapReduce.
Hadoop is deployed on all the nodes of the Open Cloud Testbed.
The Open Cloud Consortium has no affiliation or association with Hadoop.
Eucalyptus
EUCALYPTUS (Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems) is an open-source software infrastructure for implementing on-demand computing instances on your own cluster. EUCALYPTUS is compatible with Amazon's EC2 interface, but the infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces. EUCALYPTUS was developed by a research group at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Sector
The open source Sector system is available on the Open Cloud Testbed. In benchmarks using Terasort, Sector is about twice as fast as Hadoop. For details, see the technical report.
Sector is designed to operate over wide area clouds. Sector is built using UDT, which is a network transport protocol designed for wide area high performance networks.
Sector includes security. In particular, HIPAA compliant clouds can be built using Sector.
Sector is open source and available from Source Forge at the web site: sector.sf.net The Sector Project is an Associate Member of the OCC.
Thrift
Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It integrates a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently between C++, Java, Python, PHP, and Ruby. Thrift was developed at Facebook, and is available as open source atdevelopers.facebook.com/thrift/.
Thrift is expected to be available shortly on the Open Cloud Testbed and will used to interoperate different cloud middleware and to simplify the development and deployment of cloud applications.
The Open Cloud Consortium has no affiliation or association with Thrift.
