OpSource Cloud Public Beta Now Available

SANTA CLARA, CA, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
OpSource, Inc., the leader in Cloud operations, today announced that
OpSource Cloud(TM), the first Cloud to bring together the availability,
flexibility and community of the public Cloud with the security,
performance and control the enterprise requires, is now in public Beta
and available for on-line purchase by the hour from www.opsourcecloud.net.

To help accelerate the adoption of Cloud computing by the enterprise,
OpSource has also released "Enterprise Meet Cloud: Mapping a safe passage
to enterprise cloud adoption," a white paper by Procullux Ventures' Phil
Wainewright which details how to bring Cloud computing to
business-critical systems and manage the resulting hybrid computing
environments.

"Enterprise IT executives are wondering how they can bring the economic
and practical advantages of cloud computing -- the rapid deployment,
pay-per-use pricing, scalable capacity on-demand -- to more
business-critical systems without compromising their security,
reliability and governance," said Phil Wainewright, CEO, Procullux
Ventures. "What's needed is a collaborative partnership in which
providers keep the infrastructure running while giving enterprise IT the
visibility, choice and delegated control they need. The buck still stops
with enterprise IT, whether the infrastructure is cloud-sourced or
in-house, and this paper gives them the tools they need to deploy cloud
computing effectively and efficiently."

OpSource Cloud is designed to allow IT departments to manage their
security as they would within their internal IT infrastructure. Upon
sign-up, each customer receives a Virtual Private Network and sets the
degree of public Internet connectivity they wish to grant, from totally
private to fully available. OpSource Cloud also provides user
customizable security with a compliant, high-performance multi-tier Cloud
architecture and full user control over firewall settings. In addition,
other enterprise quality controls include user level login and passwords,
operational permissions and departmental and sub-department reporting,
all backed by a 100% SLA. OpSource Cloud is built on the same standard
technology already being employed by enterprise IT. This ensures
out-of-the-box trust, compatibility and productivity. With virtualization
playing such a key role in Cloud computing, OpSource has selected VMware
for virtualization and application portability between the Cloud and
Enterprise.

For users weaned on the public Cloud experience, OpSource Cloud offers
online sign-up, pay by the hour usage, and rich online communities. And
immediate availability and flexibility ensure that developers and
enterprise IT alike have access to enterprise quality computing
capability when they need it, paying for it only when it is being used.
This is the promise of Cloud computing and OpSource Cloud delivers it.

"As Phil's white paper details, there is finally a clear path for
enterprises to adopt Cloud computing," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource.
"We've seen great early results from our private Beta and are excited to
see what the larger enterprise community will accomplish with OpSource
Cloud. 2009 truly is the year of the enterprise Cloud and we are proud to
be helping make this pivotal moment in IT happen."
