On July 1, Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu in partnership with Eucalyptus Systems, an open-source cloud infrastructure firm, will be launching Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services.
According to sources at Canonical, Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services “is a set of new professional services to help and support users building ‘private clouds’, that is cloud infrastructures behind a corporate firewall.”
This follows up on Canonical’s technical preview of UEC (Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud) in April. an open-source system that enabled organizations to build their own clouds that can work with Amazon EC2. UEC will be incorporated into the Ubuntu Server Edition technology stack.
The idea, as it always is with cloud computing is to save organizations money by optimizing server use, while lowering costs and providing end users with self-service IT. With Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services, Canonical will help businesses build private clouds
