CriKit – Personal Cloud   The intersection of Moore’s Law and
Cloud software has just occurred and the result is a very green
Desktop Private Cloud solution. Called “CriKit” for Cloud
Resource and Infrastructure Kit, it includes compute nodes and
storage that allows developers, testers and trainers to ply
their trades with cloud technologies right on their desk instead
of using data center resources.  Further, with CriKit and Hybrid
Cloud configurations, organizations can accomplish some amount
of local computing and integrate with Public Clouds global
infrastructure on the “back end”. Since Crikit is merely a
commodity hardware computing platform, it can run a wide variety
of cloud software solutions, like CloudStack, OpenStack,
Eucalyptus, Nimbula, etc. For example, when running Nimbula
Director, CriKit can spin up 32 “small” virtual machines out of
the box without any additional configuration. With KVM
hypervisor modification, CriKit is capable of providing over 100
small virtual machines across the minima
