Hello everybody,
I am currently working to my PhD Thesis which is in the Cloud Computing domain. I have made some researches on the internet in order to find some free Cloud Computing solutions to study and test some applications and models involving CC, but I didn't find any. So, I have some questions to the Eucalyptus community, maybe I will have some luck:
[1] Is it possible to install Eucalyptus on a single laptop? I have read some articles from Eucalypus site where is it presented this possibility but I didn't find any details. What kind of computer is necessary for this installation? Core Duo? i7? I suppose that is necessary a kind of hardware that supports Xen.
[2] Maybe some of you are (or were) in the same situation as me -- are there any CC providers that offers some free resources for academic purposes (only study and test small applications and models).
Best Regards,
Adrian

Hello Adrian,
1) it is possible. albeit it can be a bit confusing or complicated to set it up. You can try to start with SYSTEM or STATIC mode and install all components on your laptop. As per the hypervisor to choose, if your processor support hardware virtualization, you can choose between xen and kvm otherwise you have to choose xen.
2) we do have the EPC, which is free to use, but has some limitation on the usage. You may want to check it out in case it fits your needs.
