icube cloud consists of computing cloud that users can run their programs and services, and storage cloud that provides a distributed data storage. Both can be accessed via REST/SOAP APIs so that users can integrate icube cloud with other web services and perform automated management. Especially, with supports for API compatibility with Amazon EC2/S3, you can adopt exsiting applications easily and reduce learning costs.

Overview

• icube computing cloud : icube computing cloud provides computing resources. You can create and manage virtualized instances for your web serivces faster and easier.
• icube storage cloud : NexR Storage Cloud provides large-scale distrubted storage via web interfaces. You can access your files via web or APIs such as REST or SOAP.

Main Features

Computing Cloud

• Launching Instances : You can launch instances from images provided by icube to build your own cluster for your service.
• Private Images : You can save images from running instances to avoid repetitive setup/deployment processes for every new instance.
• Security : We prevent users from accessing others' instances by separating network topology. Moreover, you can apply firewall rules defined as security groups that specify allowance of IPs and ports.
• Elastic IPs : You can allocate external IPs and map them to your instances.
• Monitoring : We provide a graph view showing statistics of your instances.

Storage Cloud

• Large scale storage service based on distributed disks
• Saving data in files & charges on size of usage
• Provides a permalink for each file
• Standard programming interface based on REST / SOAP
• API compatibility with Amazon S3
• Supports ACL (Access Control List)

System Architecture

Applications

Computing Cloud

• Web service deployment : create instances according to the desired scale for web services.

Storage Cloud

• It can be used as persistent file storage for applications running on computing cloud.
• You may setup permissions such as 'downloadable by specific users'.
• Each user can create 5 buckets and save 5GB data at maximum.
