Eucalyptus Systems has announced a partnership with Terracotta to collaborate on an open source solution for private clouds.

"Terracotta provides distributed Hibernate caching, session clustering, and scalability for databases in large data centers," writes The Register's Gavin Clarke. "The goal is to help speed upload and access to data through cache and clustering and avoid simply adding more databases or database servers."

"Eucalyptus, which is an acronym for 'Elastic Utility Computing Architecture Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems,' allows for the implementation of cloud computing within a datacenter by providing an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution that is compatible with Amazon Web Services (AWS), including Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Simple Storage Service (S3) and Elastic Block Store (EBS)," according to The H Open Source.

"As part of the agreement, Terracotta's scalable data management infrastructure software for Java applications will integrate with Eucalyptus' open source private cloud platform," writes ITWorld Canada's Jennifer Kavur. "The two companies are also planning to develop joint sales and marketing activities."
