Canonical and Dell have teamed up to deliver an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud using Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) on Dell Servers. The unique combination of UEC and Dell PowerEdge™ C servers gives your business unprecedented flexibility over its IT services. Now you can build and test an IaaS cloud that can scale internally as well as take advantage of public clouds. UEC is the platform to build public, private or hybrid clouds.
Perfect for testing and development, the Standard Edition of UEC on Dell Servers solution offers your enterprise a quick and easy way to build your private cloud with confidence. With a combination of Dell PowerEdge C servers, Canonical’s UEC, a detailed implementation guide and matchless support, you’ll be ready to provide cloud computing to your internal users. You’ll be ready to test IaaS in an easy-to-deploy environment. Once you’ve set up the Standard Edition of UEC on Dell Servers you can deploy workloads and get them running immediately, and grow or shrink computing capacity to meet the needs of your application.
Dell will supply its PowerEdge C2100 and C6100 servers with Canonical’s Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), an implementation of the Eucalyptus private cloud software that runs on the Ubuntu Server Edition operating system. The C2100 server acts as a cloud compute node, while the C6100 can act either as a cloud server or as both a server and a node.
