This partnership with Eucalyptus offers our customers a complete cloud platform solution starting from private cloud, spanning into hybrid model and running PaaS on top of it. This is a great opportunity for very large enterprise customers to have their own "Private PaaS."
OrangeScape provides a model driven visual development environment for creating cloud based business applications that can be deployed on the OrangeScape run-time platform and the cloud infrastructure of their choice, such as Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, or Eucalyptus' IaaS platform.
Eucalyptus is the world's most widely deployed cloud computing software platform for on-premise (private) Infrastructure as a Service clouds. The Eucalyptus IaaS platform is fully compatible with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) APIs, enabling customers to more efficiently migrate workloads between their existing data centers and AWS while using the same management tools and skills across both environments.
"Through our partnership with OrangeScape, customers can combine the Eucalyptus IaaS platform with OrangeScape's Visual Platform as a Service (PaaS) to create a production ready private PaaS for enterprises," said David Butler, senior vice president of marketing at Eucalyptus.

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.
