The Private Cloud for Data Centers

Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition (Eucalyptus EE) enables customers to implement private cloud computing using Eucalyptus, the most popular open source private cloud software, with purpose-built solutions that extend its functionality. Eucalyptus EE contains the open source core platform and a suite of products that allow Enterprises and Service Providers to implement the most portable, scalable and high performing private cloud solution available today.

Eucalyptus EE is also API compatible with Amazon Web Services™, which enables our customers to implement a true hybrid cloud computing environment that includes private and public clouds to meet IT service demand.

Built on Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition is built on Eucalyptus -- an open source software infrastructure for implementing a private cloud using an organization’s own information technology (IT) infrastructure, without modification, special-purpose hardware or reconfiguration. Eucalyptus turns data center resources such as machines, networks, and storage systems into a cloud that is controlled and customized by local IT. Eucalyptus is the only cloud architecture to support the same application programming interfaces (APIs) as public clouds, and today Eucalyptus is fully compatible with the Amazon Web Services™ cloud infrastructure.

• Enables cross-platform guest operating systems including Microsoft Windows and Linux
• Automates image conversion between all supported hypervisors, including Amazon EC2-compatible AMIs
• Advanced storage integration (iSCSI, SAN, NAS) enables you to easily connect and manage your existing storage systems from within the Eucalyptus cloud
• Sophisticated user, group, and role management allows precise control of resources within a private cloud
