Eucalyptus Systems has signed a strategic partnership deal with China Electronics Technology Group No. 32 Research Institute (CETC32) to speed up cloud computing adoption in China.
Under the deal CETC32 will leverage Eucalyptus to provide integrated solutions to customers implementing cloud computing as part of their business strategy.
Eucalyptus’ on-premise Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform will serve as the foundation of CETC32’s Hua-Cloud, which is used by the customers in China including public security, health and medical, smart traffic, food security and SME markets.
Eucalyptus CEO Marten Mickos said the partnership will enable customers in China to benefit from a combination of CETC32’s local market presence and the industry’s leading on-premise cloud platform.
"Cloud adoption in China is extremely rapid, and we’re honored to play a central role with our esteemed partner in bringing elastic compute resources to companies and public agencies across this vast market," Marten said.
CETC32, a subsidiary of China Electronics Technology Group based at Shanghai, will use Eucalyptus’ technology to develop specific features to meet local customer requirements under the Hua-Cloud brand.
Both the partners will also set up a joint lab facility in Shanghai to boost local research and development.
CETC32 stated CETC32 will add government approved cloud computing security policies on top of existing features in Eucalyptus to deliver a solution specifically tailored to the Chinese market.
