Elastic Grid, LLC is pleased to announce the Elastic Rack project.
As part of Elastic Grid project commitment to provide a cloud virtualization layer, the Elastic Grid team was in need of a Java API which would drive the Rackspace Cloud Servers API. This Java API is now available as a separate bundle in the Elastic Rack project.
This open-source project aims to provide Java APIs to the Rackspace Cloud APIs so that Java developers can easily call Rackspace APIs. As of today, there is only experimental support for Cloud Servers API.
The project is hosted on Google Code at: http://elastic-rack.googlecode.com. The issues tracker is available on Jira at: http://jira.elastic-grid.com/browse/ER.

I will do a presentation of Elastic Grid at Profict Java Spring Camp in June, 19th. The two hours time-slot will give way more time than usually so I will be able demonstrate some few deployments made on EC2.
Feel free to join nearby Amsterdam and enjoy at the same time a beautiful place with a barbecue at the end of the day.
You can both subscribe and get more information on the Profict Java Spring Camp website.

Dennis Reedy will do a joint-presentation with one of our customers, Ronald Bowers, working for the Army Research Lab, during JavaOne 09. This BoF is schedule on Wednesday, June, 3rd at 7:45pm.
Here is the abstract of the session called Cloud Computing and NetBeans™ IDE Enable Army Research Lab’s Next-Generation Simulation System
This presentation provides an overview of how the Army Research Laboratory’s (ARL’s) MUVES 3 project is using cloud computing and the NetBeans™ IDE rich-client platform (RCP). It reviews the MUVES 3 architecture, along with the Java™ technologies that are used to develop it. The session also shows how the combination of a NetBeans IDE RCP client application with a dynamic, service-oriented architecture (SOA) back end can be used to construct sophisticated, high-performance environments. It also discusses the MUVES 3 team’s experiences in performing continuous integration by using Hudson and testing the system on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud with Elastic Grid.
ARL analyzes combat system survivability and munition lethality against enemy systems. The goal of the MUVES 3 project is to develop an integrated environment to support this analysis mission. On the server side, the MUVES 3 system must be capable of executing concurrent simulation jobs, supporting a large analyst community. Although national security concerns prohibit running an actual MUVES 3 analysis on the cloud, the system architecture can be tested on it. This enables ARL to test MUVES 3 and evaluate system performance, scalability, and fault tolerance across numerous computers cost-effectively. The NetBeans IDE RCP provides the framework on which the MUVES 3 user interfaces are built. It is used both as a client platform to the cloud and as a client to the massively scalable simulation system.
