Lets users blend Skytap’s cloud-based Virtual Lab platform with their existing IT infrastructure

Two-year-old venture-backed Skytap Inc, a University of Washington cloud infrastructure spin-out, says it’s got an API to enable “hybrid” clouds. Rather than use cloud computing in a silo, Skytap’s Web Services API and one-click VPN functionality create a situation where cloud resources are used as an extension of existing infrastructure. The Seattle company says it’s not an all or nothing decision; companies can ease into the cloud without abandoning established processes and applications or rewriting code. It imagines the cloud being used for large-scale testing and development. Skytap’s Virtual Lab provides on-demand virtualized infrastructure like hardware, storage and networking, a lab management application and a pre-populated virtual machine library of major operating systems, databases and applications software. It supports VMware and Xen and Windows, Linux and Solaris; it plans to support Hyper-V. The start-up got a $6 million in A round from Madrona Venture Group, Ignition Partners, Bezos Expeditions and Washington Research Foundation a year ago.

Only if you were on the dark side of the moon could you have missed the impact of the iPhone. Its sweeping success has brought mobile services into the mainstream. As the first device to convincingly integrate traditional phone capabilities with Web access, it highlights the multi-chan...
Much like “Web 2.0″, cloud computing was a collection of related concepts that people recognized, but didn’t really have a good descriptor for, a definition in search of a term, you could say. When Google CEO Eric Schmidt used it in 2006 to describe their own stuff and then Amaz...
It’s time to wrap up the year 2008 - a year of change with Obama, the Olympic Games and the financial crisis. It was also the year when Yahoo said no to Microsoft. 2009 will be all about Cloud Computing: the technological hype has started already but the commercial breakthrough will ...
There's a new release of OpenSolaris out – OpenSolaris 2008.11 – out a whole three weeks before the end of 2008. There was a 2008.05 release, aka Project Indiana, in May but that wasn’t as commercial or production-oriented as this one. Both run only on x86 machines, not Sun's own...
