Press for rPath

With concerns about the immaturity and security of public clouds, many enterprise organizations are opting instead to implement private (or hybrid) clouds in order to access the benefits that cloud computing offers while still operating behind the firewall. Eucalyptus Systems,newScale, MomentumSI, and rPath announced a coalition yesterday at VMWorld they claim will ease that transition, offering the enterprise an integrated platform to provide an "on-ramp" to private and hybrid cloud computing.

newScale, rPath and Eucalyptus Systems today announced an integrated technology platform that will provide an on-ramp to private and hybrid cloud computing in the enterprise. The technology combination is designed to help businesses achieve maximum IT agility through cloud computing, integrating infrastructure for private and hybrid clouds with enterprise IT self-service and system automation.

Given all the complexities associated with managing a cloud computing environment, many internal IT organizations will need a little extra help.  The core issue is that most IT organizations don’t apply a lot of sophistication when it comes to managing IT. Many are trying to address this lack of IT maturity by embracing concepts such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL).

SYS-CON Events announced today that rPath, an innovator in automating system deployment and maintenance, will exhibit at SYS-CON's 7th International Cloud Expo, which will take place on November 1-4, 2010, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
