  • Description: In the time it takes to get a cup of coffee, any one of the hundreds of engineers and developers at mobile computing chip-maker Qualcomm Inc can provision himself a new server -- one that's fully configured with compute, storage, networking, middleware and other resources. The San Diego-based company's self-service infrastructure, dubbed "AutoZone" includes all the hallmarks of a private cloud, a self-service portal with a menu of standardized services that users can choose; a virtualized infrastructure built using standardized suites of hardware and software; fully automated provisioning and deprovisioning; and the ability for IT to meter and allocate costs from the division level down to the individual department, application or user. Qualcomm isn't the only company experimenting with cloud. Many IT shops are starting pilots using one of these options: software-based architectures, such as the open-source OpenStack promoted by RackSpace, NASA and Eucalyptus Systems; or more proprietary, "cloud in a box" setups that tightly couple the software and hardware, such as IBM's CloudBurst or Hewlett-Packard's BladeSystem Matrix "converged infrastructure."
