Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition will become available for free download on Oct. 29, and it may be able to give companies a quick on-ramp to cloud computing. The server software’s list of new features is topped with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud as a fully supported technology. UEC is the umbrella name for several cloud technologies, including the open source Eucalyptus project. Canonical, the commercial sponsor of the open source Ubuntu OS family, collaborated with the Eucalyptus community to fully integrate that core technology and then tweak it for Ubuntu server performance, according to Gerry Carr, head of platform development for Canonical.
