[ubuntu-cloud] Ubuntu-cloud Digest, Vol 3, Issue 1

Thu Jul 30 20:31:47 BST 2009

Dear All
For if we can install Eucalyptus on Ubuntu Desktop, I think we can do 
it. Personally, I am doing it following the instructions: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Eucalyptus. I already finish the set 
up of the front-end and node. And also try to run some instances. But 
still have some problems now. That is my experience. Hope this helps.
Regards,

> Canonical Delves Deeper into the Cloud ? Launches Ubuntu Enterprise
> Cloud Services
>
> *Partners with Eucalyptus to offer 'private cloud' assessment,
> proof-of-concept and support services*
>
> London: July 1, 2009-- Canonical, the founder of the Ubuntu project,
> today launched new professional services to help and support users
> building 'private clouds', cloud infrastructures behind a corporate
> firewall.
>
> The move follows the technical preview in April of Ubuntu Enterprise
> Cloud (UEC), an open-source system that enables organisations to build
> their own clouds that match the interface of Amazon EC2. UEC is now
> available as part of the Ubuntu Server Edition technology stack.
>
> By creating private clouds with UEC, organisations can optimise server
> use and increase data-centre efficiencies, while lowering costs and
> providing end users with self-service IT. Ubuntu is the first Linux
> distribution to provide such a system and now Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud
> Services from Canonical help businesses build these environments with
> optimal efficiency.
>
> ?Enterprises are realising that building 'private clouds' enables them
> to better manage variable workloads, while reducing the waste of idle
> servers. Building on open-source technology also avoids the issue of
> vendor lock-in,? said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical. ?Ubuntu
> Enterprise Cloud enables businesses to do this  - and the addition of
> these services helps them to do it with confidence.?
>
> Canonical has partnered with Eucalyptus, whose eponymous product forms
> the base of UEC, to jointly provide the service but with a single
> interface for the customer through the Canonical support team.
>
> ?While the IT industry talks of future strategies and releases vapour
> ware, UEC today allows businesses to deploy and now support a 'private
> cloud' on open source technologies from a renowned Linux provider,? said
> Woody Rollins, CEO of Eucalyptus. ?We are very excited to lend our
> expertise to building the type of professional services that will help
> more businesses discover the benefits of private clouds built on open
> technologies.?
> Pricing and Availability
>
> Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services enable users to scale up from a
> five-machine environment all the way to a site license covering all
> machines, physical and virtual, in a single location.
>
> Yearly pricing for entry-level support for five physical servers and up
> to 25 virtual Ubuntu servers is $4,750 for 9x5 standard support and
> $17,500 for 24x7 advanced support. Additional support packs are
> available per physical server and per ten virtual servers for $1,250
> p.a. for standard support and $3,000 p.a. for advanced.
>
> Site support is also available which covers one geographical location.
> It includes an unlimited number of physical and virtual servers for
> $90,000 p.a. for standard support and $150,000 p.a. for advanced.
>
> To use Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, users must first install Ubuntu 9.04
> Server Edition available at no charge from
> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server
