SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE: COR), a U.S. provider of
powerful, network-rich data centers, today announced that
Eucalyptus Systems, creators of the most widely deployed on-premise
cloud computing platform, has launched a new enterprise-class cloud
test lab offering at CoreSite's Bay area data center campus to
address the growing demand for cloud computing technologies. The
Eucalyptus Cloud Test Lab provides enterprises with a secure, fully
functional hosted infrastructure as a service cloud to validate
their cloud application migration strategies prior to
implementation. The official product launch date is set for
March 1, 2012.
Eucalyptus Cloud Test Lab is a complete cloud-ready data center
solution with fast and easy setup. The solution, which includes
hosting, hardware and Eucalyptus open source cloud software,
enables customers to configure virtual cloud resources, experience
full elastic-compute resource management, and demo their
applications on private cloud software. To reduce the business and
technical risks often associated with cloud adoption, enterprises
can purchase the exact cloud environment used during the testing
phase. Eucalyptus' Cloud Test Lab will operate on innovative Dell
infrastructure provided by Dasher Technologies.
"CoreSite is pleased to provide the data center infrastructure
to support Eucalyptus' new Cloud Test Lab offering," said
Brian Warren, VP of Product
Management at CoreSite. "This offering provides our enterprise data
center customers with a secure, risk-managed testing environment
for their cloud migration strategies. The Eucalyptus Cloud Test Lab
demonstrates CoreSite's commitment to developing Cloud computing
ecosystems for our customers."
"By validating the technical and business benefits of specific
use cases prior to migration, enterprises can deploy hosted private
and hybrid clouds with a new level of confidence," said
David Butler, SVP of Marketing at
Eucalyptus. "As part of Cloud Test Lab, customers can leverage the
Eucalyptus partner ecosystem to evaluate a complete cloud solution,
and benefit from a customer-focused, best-of-breed systems
management approach."
