KVM instead of Xen: Start of the first phase towards standardization of the hypervisor in the Open Telekom Cloud
The Open Telekom Cloud is starting the first phase towards standardization of the hypervisor. In future, we will rely on the Kernel-Based Virtual Machine Hypervisor (KVM). In this connection, in the first phase, the General Purpose Flavors based on the Xen Hypervisor will be discontinued on December 31, 2019.
High-performance computing: A look under the hood
High-performance computing (HPC) solves complex problems in an extremely short time. Companies have the choice between several methods that have different advantages and disadvantages. HPC expert Alfred Geiger provides guidance and shows which technology is best suited for different needs.
Deutsche OpenStack Tage – Industry event in Berlin
Deutsche OpenStack Tage Berlin: Around 300 IT professionals are expected, including from BMW and Xing. Telekom will be demonstrating new possibilities for automating workloads, IoT applications and how regression tests can be simplified.
The power of two hearts: HPC and supercomputing as required
Ain’t no mountain high enough – or: Hardly any workload large enough for Telekom's scalable computing resources. How does that work? By combining high-performance computing from the Open Telekom Cloud with supercomputing capacities from the High-Performance Computing Center in Stuttgart.
Play It safe with HPC
The area of high-performance computing (HPC) also presents companies with new challenges related to IT security and data protection. In an interview, T-Systems experts Max Guhl and Alfred Geiger explain how companies can securely use HPC from the public cloud and what they should look out for.
Supercomputers for All: HPC from the Public Cloud Becomes Mainstream
Interest in high performance computing from the public cloud is growing, as the Teratec Forum in Paris and the ISC in Frankfurt demonstrated. Demand is especially strong for cloud resources from the European judicial area for so-called cloud bursting scenarios.

KVM instead of Xen: future standard hypervisor in the Open Telekom Cloud
The Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor has established itself in the OpenSource community. The Open Telekom Cloud is therefore switching off all Xen-based flavors in the medium term and replacing them with KVM flavors. What companies that are currently still using Xen-based flavors need to consider when switching.
