Eucalyptus launched Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition (EE) 2.0. This is a major upgrade to the commercial edition of the open source Eucalyptus software for private and hybrid cloud computing.
Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition 2.0 includes new support for Windows virtual machines, enabling users to integrate any application or workload running on the Windows operating system into a Eucalyptus private cloud. Eucalyptus EE 2.0 also provides new accounting and user group management features to further enhance its usability for large-scale enterprise deployments.
“Eucalyptus EE 2.0 is built on the core Eucalyptus open source platform, with additional functionality designed to optimize building and deploying massively scalable, high performance private clouds in the enterprise,” said Marten Mickos, Eucalyptus Systems CEO. “Over the past year, Eucalyptus has become established as the standard for private cloud computing, and we believe that Eucalyptus EE 2.0 will accelerate its adoption in mainstream
businesses to improve agility and reduce IT costs using secure, controlled on-premise infrastructure.”
In the newest version Eucalyptus EE 2.0 has optimized it for highly scalable private clouds that support applications running on all major enterprise operating systems. Eucalyptus EE 2.0 Delivers Windows, User Management, VMware & SAN Storage.
