Eucalyptus Systems raises $5.5M for a hybrid approach to cloud computing » VentureBeat

Eucalyptus Systems raises $5.5M for a hybrid approach to cloud computing » VentureBeat: "Since launching the Eucalyptus platform last year, it has already been downloaded 14,000 times. It’s used by other cloud infrastructure companies such as Benchmark-backed RightScale. And it also provides the underlying technology for the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, an offering that’s now shipping with every version of the popular Ubuntu distribution of the Linux operating system.
With the funding from Benchmark (one of the leading cloud computing venture investors), Eucalyptus is now spinning off from an academic, open source project into a commercial business. Competitors include 3tera and Globus Nimbus."
