Eucalyptus Systems – Software for cloud computing

Eucalyptus Systems develops technology solutions built on Open Source Eucalyptus software for private and hybrid cloud computing. Eucalyptus is quickly becoming the standard for on-site cloud computing, delivering the cost efficiencies and scalability of cloud architecture with the security and control of deploying on an organisation’s own IT infrastructure. Eucalyptus adds capabilities such as end-user customisation, self-service provisioning and legacy application support to data-centre virtualization features. It makes IT customer service easier, more full-featured and less expensive.

Eucalyptus Systems develops and supports Eucalyptus technology. In addition, the company delivers commercial products built on the Eucalyptus platform and provides consulting and support services to customers.

Eucalyptus powers the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud offering, which brings Amazon EC2-like infrastructure capabilities inside the firewall. This joint solution is designed to simplify the process of building and managing an internal cloud for businesses of any size. It enables companies to create their own self-service infrastructure. Eucalyptus is currently distributed with Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition and will be an essential component within Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition.

Features and benefits

Eucalyptus enables customers to create an on-site cloud infrastructure quickly and easily. The Eucalyptus technology transforms existing data-centre resources such as machines, networks and storage systems into a cloud that is controlled and customised by local IT. Eucalyptus enables a cloud to be easily deployed on all types of legacy hardware and software so users can keep critical data behind the firewall. It also helps businesses to use their existing infrastructures so they can avoid any additional capital expense. In addition, customers can take advantage of the development strength of a worldwide user community.

Features include:

  • Easy and quick install and distribution through Ubuntu.

  • Hypervisor management based on end-user demand.

  • Support for multiple hypervisor technologies within the same cloud.

Benefits include:

  • Emulating Amazon AWS on top of your current infrastructure.

  • Seamlessly transitioning data between your internal clouds and any of the public cloud environments.

  • Keeping critical data behind the firewall and place non-sensitive data in public clouds.
