Cloud.com Offers Support For VMware. By Krishnan Subramanian on August 23, 2010 Cloud.com, formerly VMOps and the company offering a seamless way to deploy and manage hybrid cloud infrastructure for both enterprises and service providers, has announced support for VMware vSphere 4.1 and vCenter server today.
During VMworld, they will be demoing their Cloud Stack platform on top of vSphere showcasing their interoperable open source cloud platform. The addition of support for VMware virtualization technologies to other hypervisors like KVM, Xen, etc. makes the Cloud.com offering a comprehensive platform on par with few other players in this segment. As they released the version 2 of their product and morphed into Cloud.com from VMOps, they moved up the stack a little bit and positioned themselves as a strong player in the orchestration layer for cloud infrastructure. Their support for Openstack is also in tune with this repositioning and their plans to dominate the orchestration layer in the Openstack provider ecosystem. Joyent – Yes Virginia, There Is A Hybrid Cloud #cloudcomputing | CloudBzz. I got a chance to spend time with James Duncan and Bryan Bogensberger of Joyent at #e2conf today.
I’ve always been a little bit cloudy on what Joyent actually does. Their Web site (which is getting a makeover) is not all that clear today. Let’s take a look at their stack as they described it to me this afternoon. Accelerators – these are roughly equivalent to Amazon’s EC2 instances, though with a lot of compelling differences (if you’re using/considering EC2, you should check out Joyent). “Cloud Control” – this is not a product per se, but it’s their management interface into their Accelerators. Smart - this is their Javascript-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering from Joyent’s acquisition of Reasonably Smart (where James and Bryan hail from).

Nimbula :: cloud infrastructure software. Nimbula Raises Another $15 Million in Funding. Nimbula, one of the LaunchPad finalists in this year’s Structure conference, today said that it has secured $15 million in funding from Accel Partners.
The funding is set to continue Nimbula’s investment in hybrid cloud computing technologies but also to fund sales and marketing efforts in order to gain greater market adoption. Founded by the team that developed Amazon EC2, Nimbula delivers a cloud operating system that combines the scalability and operational efficiency that we’ve grown accustomed to with the public cloud, but with the control that enterprises require for within their own data centers. While many commentators are scornful about private clouds, claiming that the concept doesn’t meet their test for “the true cloud,” more moderate commentators, myself included, would contend that so long as it’s scalable and abstracts management away from the user, it constitutes a cloud product.
Nimbula’s product, Director, seeks to manage both on-premise and off-premise resources. Nimbula raises $15 million more for private cloud | Software, Interrupted. Nimbula, a provider of cloud infrastructure software and founded by former Amazon executives Chris Pinkham and Willem van Biljon, on Monday announced that it has secured $15 million in its second round of venture capital funding led by Accel Partners. That brings total funding to more than $20 million. Current investor Sequoia Capital, which led Nimbula's first round of venture financing, also participated in this round. Nimbula emerged from stealth mode in June and in fact has remained somewhat stealthy. The basic premise of the software is to provide private-cloud infrastructure similar to Amazon Web Services EC2 platform--an approach quite similar to the open-source Eucalyptus project. There have been quite a few start-ups geared toward private cloud to emerge over the last year or two (Eucalyptus, Makara) and several acquisitions (Platespin, 3Tera, 4Base) so there is little question that there is market demand for these types of solutions.
