Both vendors have relatively stable performance metrics and they both implement the basic functionality of a cloud provider:

  • Programmatic control via REST API
  • Scalable data storage solution: Elastic Block Storage in Amazon AWS and CloudStorage in GoGrid
  • Ability to assign external IP addresses
  • Ability to grant root/administrator credentials
  • Many options to configure the cloud cluster
  • Windows and Linux support
  • Web console for monitoring and management

So far, as cloud providers GoGrid and Amazon EC2 look very similar, but practical experience of using them in real-life projects helps us identify some unique features that can be important for specific applications – for highlighed features and bad points for both providers look onto GoGrid is out of beta on Grid Designer’s Blog
