Open source cloud platform is commercialized by its creators
,----[ Quote ]
| The creators of Eucalyptus, an open source platform for building private
| clouds, have launched a company to sell products based on the software and
| have landed $5.5 million in first-round funding.
|
| Eucalyptus Systems promises to sell enterprise-grade products based on
| Eucalyptus, which is designed to aggregate servers, storage and network
| infrastructure into a “cloud” that allows end-user customization and
| self-service provisioning. Eucalyptus supports the same APIs as public
| clouds, and is compatible with Amazon’s Web Services infrastructure, letting
| users deploy hybrid clouds consisting of internal and external resources.

include our stock in that category. It is bad for the long-term worth of the
economy."

| Eucalyptus runs on Linux systems, and RPMs are available for the RPM-based
| systems. The source is also available for building on unsupported Linux
| systems, but even more exciting is that you can deploy Eucalyptus on a Rocks
| cluster. With Rocks, Eucalyptus is deployed with basically one command.
