CRIKITDESKTOP PRIVATE CLOUD

CriKit is a complete desktop cloud infrastructure solution in one compact, energyefficient, yet powerful package. CriKit is also upgradable and expandable to meet a wide variety of computing needs. A base Crikit includes: 1. Four powerful Intel Xeon-based MicroServer compute nodes. 2. An external storage system that starts at 2 TB and is upgradable to 18 TB in a single desktop enclosure. 3. Unmanaged 8 port, 1 Gb/s Ethernet switch. 4. 8 Port Keyboard, Video and Mouse USB/DVI switch. 5. Management Workstation for managing cloud, storage and hypervisor environments. 6. 7. 19 Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard. All cables required to provide connectivity for the entire unit. Plus, custom environments can easily be created for your specific needs.

To help organizations further reduce their energy consumption and lower their carbon footprint, US Micro is teaming up with Silicon Energy to forge entirely new solutions by combining high quality Solar Panels with highly capable, low-wattage MicroServers. The result of this collaboration is an SMB data center that is completely powered by Solar energy and run on MicroServers. Imagine never again having to pay an electrical bill for your data center ! This combination will enable entirely new uses of computing solutions . http://www.silicon-energy.com http://www.usmicro.com

CRIKIT DESKTOP PRIVATE CLOUD

ENTER SOLAR CRIKIT It is now clear - Cloud Computing technologies are the future. Whether the cloud architecture is Public, Private or Hybrid, cloud adoption is accelerating across the board. This adoption brings with it inherent changes in development, testing and training requirements. IT leaders and their organizations are being confronted with a dizzying array of solutions and few of the mainstream offerings really focus on energy and carbon footprint reduction. Organizations need solutions that can provide significant computing power in a compact form factor, but are energyefficient enough to be run from Solar Energy. These requirements have been met for very large organizations with significant monetary resources, but there has been minimal industry focus to help the Small and Medium Business sectors. Until now. CriKit stands for Cloud Resource and Infrastructure Kit. It was developed primarily for Private Cloud education, training, and development , but is now also applied to broader uses in general computing. CriKit is a truly compact, energy-sipping, yet powerful, multinode cloud computing platform that literally fits on a portion of a standard office desk. It is a Desktop Private Cloud in a literal sense, not a virtual one. CriKit significantly changes the landscape around cloud computing by allowing organizations to quickly and easily implement cloud solutions while minimizing cost and electrical consumption. CRIKIT USAGE Imagine having a multi-tenant cloud computing infrastructure on a desk. Essentially a miniature data center with multiple compute nodes, plus storage and networking capabilities that are sufficient to run cloud software platforms. What could YOU do with it? CriKit is ideal for a wide variety of roles and computing situations because it provides an inexpensive computing solution that is easily tailored for specific, multi-node computing scenarios. When you combine CriKit with the energy saving aspects of solar energy, the combination is unbeatable Training and Education Complex Software Demonstrations Operate an entire Small Business Computing Environment Cloud Software Dev/Test Some of the usage scenarios are Software Proof of Concept
