"According to sources at Canonical, Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Services "is a set of new professional services to help and support users building 'private clouds', that is cloud infrastructures behind a corporate firewall."

"This follows up on Canonical's technical preview of UEC (Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud) in April. an open-source system that enabled organizations to build their own clouds that can work with Amazon EC2. UEC will be incorporated into the Ubuntu Server Edition technology stack."
