Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition
Your environment, our industry-leading software
Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition (Eucalyptus EE) with vSphere® support enables customers to implement on-premise cloud computing with Eucalyptus, the most popular open source private cloud software, and vSphere, VMware’s industry-leading virtualization platform. Eucalyptus EE with vSphere support is the only on-premise cloud computing solution available today for vSphere customers, providing a robust, affordable cloud computing solution that leverages their investment in VMware® technologies.
Built on Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition is built on Eucalyptus -- an open source software infrastructure for implementing on-premise cloud computing 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 ServicesTM cloud infrastructure.

Top 7 Benefits of Eucalyptus EE
Below is a listing of the top benefits of Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition:
- Turn your VMware-based virtualized environment into an Amazon AWS compatible on-premise cloud
- Run your Amazon Machine Image (AMI) instances on your VMware-based hypervisors on-premise
- Seamlessly manage environments with multiple hypervisors (Xen, KVM,vSphere, ESXTM and ESXiTM) under one management console
- Test, develop, and deploy on your on-premise Eucalyptus EE cloud and smoothly transition to a public cloud or vice-versa, without any modifications
- Quickly and easily build hybrid clouds with your VMware-based virtualization environment and other public clouds
- Enable state-of-the-art enterprise cloud features such as high-availability,storage integration, monitoring, and auditing with Eucalyptus EE
- Leverage the vibrant ecosystem built around AWS -- RightScaleTM, CohesiveFTTM, ZmandaTM and rPathTM are just a few of the partners that deliver solutions for Amazon AWS that in-turn work seamlessly with Eucalyptus
How does Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition work?
Eucalyptus EE with vSphere support homogenizes the multiple hypervisor technologies that you may have on your IT infrastructure -- Xen, KVM, vSphere, ESX and ESXi, transforming your underlying virtualized environments into an on-premise cloud with a one-stop management console.
Additionally, with Amazon Web Services interface compatibility, you and your software can now interact with your on-premise Eucalyptus EE cloud in exactly the same way as you would with an Amazon EC2 public cloud.
Key Features and Functionality
The following lists key features of Eucalyptus EE:
- Leverages vSphere, ESX and ESXi virtualization technologies to provide an on-premise cloud in the data center
- Includes an image converter that helps users develop VMware-enabled Eucalyptus applications that are compatible with Amazon EC2
- Supports popular open source hypervisors such as KVM and Xen
- The only cloud architecture to support the same application programming interfaces (APIs) as public clouds
- Advanced storage integration (iSCSI, SAN, NAS) enables you to easily connect and manage your existing storage systems from within the Eucalyptus cloud
- Manage your data replication locations and even the degree of replication from an easy-to-use management console (no single point of failure for both data and services)
