Partnership brings together leaders in private cloud industry

SUNNYVALE, California, January 25, 2011 - Electric Cloud(R), the private development cloud company, today announced
a partnership with Eucalyptus Systems and rPath to power private development
clouds. Electric Cloud also announced the launch of ElectricCommander 3.8,
the first application to bridge the gap between private cloud infrastructure
and software development (www.electric-cloud.com/news/2011-0125.php).
ElectricCommander 3.8 streamlines the development process and helps companies
get the most out of their private clouds by bringing self-service,
manageability and elasticity to the development team.

"As we empower enterprises to take full advantage of the private cloud
for software development the partnership with Eucalyptus Systems and rPath is
a natural one. We can now provide our joint customers with seamless
integration between best in breed private cloud infrastructure and what
software development needs to do their job more effectively," said Electric
Cloud CEO Mike Maciag. "These products taken together provide a great
solution for development on the private cloud."

Eucalyptus Systems, creator of the Eucalyptus private cloud platform,
transforms compute resources into secure, massively scalable private and
hybrid clouds. ElectricCommander interfaces directly with Eucalyptus to
automatically provide development with the compute resources they need
whether they are inside or outside the firewall.

"Electric Cloud's products take a private cloud powered by Eucalyptus to
the next level," said Matt Reid, vice president of Sales and Marketing for
Eucalyptus Systems. "The automation and reporting that Electric Cloud
provides, paired with the elasticity, security and scalability of a private
cloud running Eucalyptus, gives enterprises unprecedented control, visibility
and efficiency in the software development cycle."

rPath, the service factory for on-demand IT, automates software system
construction, deployment and maintenance on private and hybrid clouds.
ElectricCommander now integrates with rPath to provide fully automated
software development on the private cloud. With Electric Cloud and rPath,
enterprise software development can automatically define their development
process and workflows, automatically construct the systems required to run
them in the private cloud and execute them with the touch of a button.

"Private development clouds are the logical starting point for many
enterprise cloud initiatives," said Jake Sorofman, rPath chief marketing
officer. "This combination represents a powerful solution for enabling speed,
control and elasticity to accelerate application innovation and delivery.
We're pleased to be working with Electric Cloud and Eucalyptus on what we see
as an important pattern for enterprise cloud adoption."

ElectricCommander 3.8, available now, connects the machines, tools, and
processes already in place and creates a private development cloud where
developers find precisely the services and resources they need. With the push
of a button, any developer can harness the power of the private cloud and get
as many machines as they need to run compute intensive tasks such as build,
test and deploy.
