THE COMMUNITY PORTAL

FOR YOUR OPEN SOURCE CLOUD TECHNOLOGIES

The Open Cloud Directory offers centralized information on open cloud technologies for the fast-growing community of cloud computing developers, architects, brokers, integrators, and users.

Browse the Open Cloud Directory for technical and legal information on innovative open source cloud programs and their documentation, reviews of open source cloud components, and the latest results from international collaborative open cloud projects. Clear, comprehensive analysis and graphs help you identify the right open source components for your cloud project, whatever your business needs. The Open Cloud Directory is a service provided by the OCEAN Project and partners Fraunhofer FOKUS, Engineering Group, IPA and OW2.

The Open Cloud Directory

introduces cloud computing projects results that are published under an open source license. It also positions them in its cloud computing reference architecture according to different categories:

The Open Cloud Directory provides several interactive visual representations of the framework; they enable users to quickly fi nd relevant projects outcomes and identify gaps. See for example the functional layers view illustrated below. When the user select a functional component, the directory highlights the relevant open licensed cloud project results associated with it. A similar view is available for cloud service provider activities.

Artist
