Sometimes, you can&#8217;t even see it. Regardless, a cool name doesn&#8217;t hurt a disruptive force, and can actually enhance its impact. Such is the case with the mCloud Helix, a wild-sounding mechanism that offers a bold promise: private cloud in a box. Granted, the cloud is all about servers, so in-and-of-itself, this offer isn&#8217;t terribly novel. But when you peek under the covers, coolness does appear. <br \/>\nCreated by a partnership of Dell and Morphlabs, the mCloud Helix comes configured with OpenStack software, and is reportedly the first <a href=\"\/definition\/133\/cloud-provider\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">cloud vendor<\/a> to bring forth such a full-scale open-source offering. It&#8217;s also stacked to the gills with processing power, Solid State Drives, massive storage and more. <\/p>\n<p> In our recent Briefing Room with Morphlabs, Dell and Analyst Shawn Rogers of Enterprise Management Associates, here&#8217;s what we discovered: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Morphlabs made sure to focus on a read-oriented approach to solid-state drives, thus avoiding that oft-mentioned problem of write entropy that has plagued some <a href=\"\/definition\/2296\/solid-state-disk-ssd\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">SSDs<\/a>; <\/li>\n<li>Dell&#8217;s &quot;Cloud Taxonomy&quot; consists of administrative, infrastructure, abstraction and physical layers, and covers the range of analytical and operational functionality customers might want, including analytics, reporting, security, legacy systems and more; <\/li>\n<li>The Crowbar Software Framework is used to build the Cloud taxonomy for a particular environment, ideally expediting setup; <\/li>\n<li>The mCloud Helix comes with 80 vCPUs (100% SSD), 3TB ZFS Storage, 224 GB RAM and a price tag of $75,000 <\/li>\n<li>Enterprise Management Associates recommends a &quot;hybrid data ecosystem&quot; for working with the broadening range of information systems; <\/li>\n<li>If you buy two boxes for redundancy purposes, that&#8217;s called the mCloud DoubleHelix (#coolness). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is a URL to the archived recording of this Webcast: <\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"color: #000000\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bloorgroup.webex.com\/bloorgroup\/lsr.php?AT=pb&#038;SP=EC&#038;rID=6032447&#038;rKey=7ea9aef442099b5a\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bloorgroup.webex.com\/bloorgroup\/lsr.php?AT=pb&amp;SP=EC&amp;rID=6032447&amp;rKey=7ea9aef442099b5a<\/p>\n<p> <\/a><\/span>Past Briefing Room episodes are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insideanalysis.com\/webcasts\/the-briefing-room\/recent-episodes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available here<\/a>. <span style=\"color: #000000\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bloorgroup.webex.com\/bloorgroup\/lsr.php?AT=pb&#038;SP=EC&#038;rID=6032447&#038;rKey=7ea9aef442099b5a\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disruption comes in all shapes and sizes.
