----------------------------------

Young,

Is it ok to close this call? I suspect this is a dead IBM product now since softlayer?

> IBM SmartCloud Provisioning (formerly BM Service Agility Accelerator for Cloud (ISAAC) or High Scale Low Touch (HSLT)) is a true IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) solution that can reduce costs and offer near-zero downtime and automated recovery. This provides new solution that provides quick cloud deployment and features automated provisioning, parallel scalability and integrated fault tolerance to increase operational efficiency and respond to user needs. It also provides the foundation to integrate more advanced cloud capabilities such as cloud service management capabilities.

> To take the advantages of the advanced features in IBM SmartCloud Provisioning, I write the new VCL provisioning module called hslt.pm.  The new module can achieve the fast VCL reservation by creating paths (links) to the virtual machine images instead of copying the original images to the instance directory in NFS file systems. For example, the main portion of the reservation time depends on the time for copying original images to the instance directory in NFS systems and it is not trivial at all. But IBM SmartCloud Provisioning does not require to copy images themselves. Instead, it creates links (paths) to the images in the hypervisor nodes and the hypervisors will map the links and load the images. This can reduce costs for both reservation times and storage usages. 
> Please take a look the hslt.pm module and contact me if you have questions.
> Thanks,
