Earlier this week
at Cloud Expo, I talked to both Peder
Ulander of Cloud.com and Rich
Wolski of Eucalyptus about their involvement with RightScale‘s myCloud
solution. Yesterday I thought I would go straight to the source so I got a hold
of RightScale’s VP of business development, Josh Fraser.
Besides the
myCloud announcement, Josh also told me about their work with Zynga. Zynga, as detailed in a recent InformationWeek
article, has a hybrid cloud model. Zynga uses the Amazon public cloud to
test new games and then if the game is a hit and when its demand has leveled
off, they pull it back into their Z-cloud private cloud. RightScale manages
across the two clouds.

- [0:26] Their myCloud announcement, widening
their focus beyond public clouds to include private and hybrid. Who
they’re partnering with, what myCloud is composed of and their free
version. - [2:38] Working with Zynga, managing
across both Zynga’s private Z-cloud and the public cloud they use at
Amazon. - [4:09] Working with Amdocs who is running
enterprise grade workloads in a private cloud managed by RightScale.
