Eucalyptus launches version 2.0
Cloud platform software maker Eucalyptus has officially launched version 2.0, replete with new features to tempt the admin into building a private cloud. Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition (EE) 2.0 now supports Windows Server 2003 and 2008 and Windows 7 images, and it has added group management and billing features as well as improvements in scope.
"We've made improvements to scalability, so users can take things to really massive scale," said CEO Marten Mickos. He said the 2.0 release was a milestone that marked Eucalyptus as ready to fit into existing IT operations. He said interest in Eucalyptus and private cloud was still through the roof, with most of his customers looking to experiment with the concept in their data centers but some using it for business.
Eucalyptus has some heavy duty logos in their badge collection, including Raytheon, the U.S. Army, Trend Micro and Japanese telecom NTT.
