Eucalyptus & Red Hat: New Best Friends cloud (opensource .sys - con .com)

Eucalyptus and Red Hat systems are now partners.

Red Hat has many ambitions of clouds and provides the infrastructure, but it is not a cloud platform.

Eucalyptus has a platform open to private source cloud the lifting heavy and provides signature elasticity of the cloud.

Practically speaking there are not many companies horizontally integrated eucalyptus can pal around with. Canonical, which already received, and Red Hat, it received its first peak at two, according to CEO Mårten Mickos, which discourages the inevitable speculation that perhaps to Red Hat be outstanding purchase eucalyptus.


Mårten Mickos gave a session on the cloud Expo Silicon Valley in November 2010

Mickos, the guy who sold the Sun for a breathtaking billion, MySQL has worked on the market, since it obtained from eucalyptus, picked up the phone and called Red Hat in March.

You get the eucalyptus in the face of many more people and probably give more feet on the street. It should contribute to Red Hat peddling virtualization in competition with its big peeve, VMware. Try the cloud without virtualization.

The pair quote prediction market for cloud computing will grow 8.7 billion in revenue this year to 16.7 billion in 2013 451 Group. They are also heated by the Group of Yankee survey found that two thirds of it decision makers prefer private internal cloud model public or hybrid although clouds eucalyptus can rig up a hybrid cloud if you want.

With tests and all needed until the turn towards the middle of the year next to eucalyptus supporting framework to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and be compatible with Apache sponsored by Red Hat Deltacloud API.

Once it is completed, users must be able to transform virtualized Red Hat in secure private clouds eucalyptus environments while promoting the objective of interoperability of Deltacloud unified single based rest API used to manage the services on a cloud.

Users can run applications and workloads on the eucalyptus or public clouds Deltacloud supports. At this time, which should include vCloud Terremark and VMWare as well as the support currently EC2 GoGrid OpenNebula, Rackspace, RHEV-M, RimuHosting.

Eucalyptus already supports the Amazon API and asserts that it is the only cloud software which can deliver all the benefits of standard industry such as Amazon Web Services private IT infrastructure public clouds.

Perhaps he will try Xen then. Meanwhile, eucalyptus has something to paste the nose of Rackspace and its OpenStack effort.
