Canonical, Eucalyptus Offer Private Cloud Consulting
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical, supplier of the popular Ubuntu distribution of Linux, is
| partnering with Eucalyptus Systems to offer "private" cloud consulting
| services. The alliance is the first commercial technical support for
| implementing open source-based clouds inside the enterprise. Most external
| clouds, including Amazon's EC2, rely heavily on open source code to hold down
| costs, provide reliable service, and scale without worrying about a rapid
| build-up in software licensing fees.

| Ken Starks is a testament to the power of single individual, and to the power
| of the distributed, community Free/Open Source model. He shows that the most
| effective advocacy is one-on-one, up close and personal. And that one person
| can multiply himself by inspiring many others. Does the idea of "advocacy"
| make you nervous? It does sound a bit scary, doesn't it, like those annoying
| door-to-door religious people. But it's not that way. If you're interested in
| helping people learn to speak Linux, here are a few easy, non-scary tips.

Cloud computing and open source face-off
,----[ Quote ]
| And Linux will make IBM money when used in cloud-based products which are
| metered to customers, often by the hour. One big reason that open source will
| help fuel the rise of cloud computing, while often becoming second fiddle to
| platforms in the cloud, is that software is only a component of a computing
| environment, albeit an expensive one and cloud economics almost always favor
| the incorporation of open source products. However, something that open
| source has only been partially successful at incorporating as a value creator
| (essentially, only the cost of development) is what IBM’s Sutor clearly
| stated: economies of scale.
