What is the Subutai Horde
According to the Oxford Dictionary, it could mean a derogatory term, or an army of nomadic warriors. Obviously we prefer to identify with the latter.
The power of the crowd with their additive computing resources is pretty impressive. Most of these resources are wasted when they could be used to enable all of us.
Subutai is a P2P Cloud and IoT platform designed to democratize cloud computing by the sharing, and renting of computer resources in a sharing economy. Collaborative consumption, and peer economics are synonyms that describe such systems which bring people together to enable each other to go beyond their own limits. In the case of Subutai, the computational power of the crowd directly enables cloud computing by allowing participants to trade existing resources. In turn, they are able to build vast computing infrastructures that would otherwise not be attainable.
The Subutai Horde was born in part from our geekiness: it just sounds cool. And partly because it's kind of hard to get your tongue to say P2P cloud crowd.
