QuickStack A Proven Highly Available
Architecture with Faster
Time-to-Value
QCT (Quanta Cloud Technology) introduces QuickStack, a converged cloud solution powered by The
Canonical Distribution of Ubuntu OpenStack. QuickStack delivers the fastest and reliable way to
build an OpenStack cloud with the veri ed and thoroughly tested architecture, which dramatically
reduces the time and risk associated with your OpenStack cloud projects. With QuickStack, building
an OpenStack cloud is no longer complicated, but instead fast and easy.
QuickStack is designed to provide high availability of not only all services in OpenStack but also
physical structure in this reference architecture. t s tested through destruction veri cation and
real-world production requirements. It ensures continuous access to business services and delivery
of enterprise-grade SLAs. QuickStack is also based on Ubuntu, the most popular platform for
OpenStack deployments, backed by commercial support and upstream OpenStack community.
Faster Time-to-Value
With QuickStack, building an OpenStack cloud is no longer di cult to achieve. QCT has created
optimi ed reference architecture while keeping the e ibility to deploy the cloud that better suits
your business. Moreover, by leveraging Ubuntu OpenStack MAAS and Juju, hardware can be
dynamically provisioned, so physical servers can be added or recycled with no disruption to the rest
of the network; and Juju, because of its automated deployment and self-service capabilities, reduces
the time to provision business services. ou can literally go from bare metal to a well-con gured
OpenStack cloud in minutes and manage racks of servers as a single resource, which allows you to
increase data center e ciency and lower operating cost.
QuickStack can scale resources up or down as needed by adding hardware, creating a new
availability one or reallocating e isting resources. It allows you to start small and linearly scale up
compute and storage resources without infrastructure re-engineering. Its scalability comes from its
modular design on services. ach compute or compute-storage node serves as the e pansion unit to
scale out your resources. It signi cantly streamlines the cloud operations at scale in production.
Instead of using proprietary e pensive SA storage equipment to build cloud environment,
QuickStack utilizes distributed software-driven storage, and can be deployed in a hyper converged
compute-storage architecture, which largely improves utilization e ciency of hardware resources.
For the networking, it supports Open vSwitch and VLA bridging solutions in cloud set-up. It also
supports multiple hypervisors like VM, en, and L C. These all innovations provide e ibility to
construct a production cloud that meets IT and business requirements.
QCT provides the complete product line and services from server, storage, network to rack and cloud
solutions. QuickStack simpli es hardware and software procurement comple ity with cost e ective
bundled solutions, and reduces operational cost to install and troubleshoot technical issues. QCT
has considerable skills and e pertise in each component of the architecture, ful lling all your
OpenStack cloud vision into a reality.

2. Deployment and System Requirements
QuickStack supports all OpenStack Icehouse / Juno released components, ensuring service providers and
enterprises have best-in-class capabilities to deploy an open source cloud. Components include:
• Administration server (MAAS) sets up the cloud, con gures and provisions the Ubuntu OpenStack,
Controller, Compute-Storage nodes.
• Controller node provides the self-service, image repository and management capabilities.
• Network node provides the networking capabilities, which can be also deployed into Controller nodes.
• Compute-Storage node hosts KVM or Xen VMs for workloads running in the cloud, and hosts block or
object storage using Ceph or Swift.
QuickStack Ubuntu OpenStack Solution family delivers three models QuickStack All-In-One, QuickStack High-Density and
QuickStack ack for di erent demand and IT environments.
QuickStack 100 All-In-One
