They launched a new V2.0 release, announced a new agreement with Jamcracker that provides integration between their product offerings to enable enterprises to self-provision Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) private and hybrid clouds and move workloads among internal servers, or to and from Amazon Web Services (AWS). They state that the integration of both platforms provides a turnkey solution for procuring through Jamcracker all the resources required to implement scalable IaaS-style private and hybrid clouds that then uses the Eucalyptus platform for provisioning and management.
Eucalyptus was also identified by the Obama administration, which has a keen eye out for emerging technology players, and steered NASA to become the company’s first customer. Using Eucalyptus’ platform, NASA built a facility to manage cloud services at Moffett Air Field and the White House now operates USASpending.gov – a site devoted to transparency in government spending – out of the facility in Moffett Field.
Eucalyptus also landed $20 million in a second round of funding led by New Enterprise Associates (Benchmark Capital and BV Capital are also investors) and they launched their Cloud coalition and officially named it "The NRE Alliance" in reference to the coalition partner members; newScale, rPath and Eucalyptus Systems - The Independent Website to support the New coalition can be found at www.nrecloud.com
