"There has been a lot of talk about the 'cloud' lately and, though the term is largely misused and perhaps a little too hyped, there's definitely something to this new way of thinking about online applications and the infrastructure to serve them, the so-called cloud computing. Canonical, the company behind the very popular Ubuntu Linux distribution, recognizes the potential of the emerging market and has partnered with Intel and Eucalyptus to promote its Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) offering as part of Intel's Cloud Builder program.
""The Intel Cloud Builder program is intended to develop some best practice information for businesses and institutions looking to take advantage of the promise of cloud computing," Nick Barcet, Ubuntu Server product manager, explained."
