  3. Mashup • Combines data and functionality from more than one source • Layered content • Each layer of content comes from different servers in the cloud • Some layers are classified, others are not • Pound acts as a functional smoke screen providing one point of contact for users Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  4. Implementation Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  5. Easy Maintenance • No hardware purchases • No HVAC • No rack space Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  6. Remain Dormant • Amazon EC2: Turn on instances once a month for updates and patches • When a disaster occurs, turn on more backend servers as demand increases Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  7. Disadvantages • Computing services must be geographically dispersed • Must trust the security of the commercial provider Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  8. Pound Reverse Proxy Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  9. Pound: Features • Not a server • Separate layers of service • allows for isolated secure and un-secure backend servers • Backend server of any type • Virtual Host Service • Tracks backend servers that are down • Filtering Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  10. Security • Pound requires minimal, initial access with the hard-disk • reads the configuration file • reads the certificate • reads error messages • writes log entries • Normal operating activities are all in memory Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough

  16. Demonstration Robin Kimzey and Cliff McCullough
