At the heart of VoxCLOUD is custom software that controls, manages, and monitors individual computing resources across different Voxel datacenters. In addition to this software, VoxCLOUD is built upon several technologies: 1) The Xen hypervisor: XEN is the leading open source hypervisor, and is a highly efficient and secure component in the Linux kernel. VoxCLOUD uses our own internal Xen builds to deploy industry standard Linux distributions. 2) Network block level storage: VoxCLOUD utilizes a clustered iSCSI SAN that provides redundant, persistent storage that can be attached to individual servers. 3) The Voxel Global IP backbone: As the operator of one of the largest non-telco backbones (AS29791), many capabilities of our global fully-meshed network are exploited by VoxCLOUD.
