Industry News Sun’s GlassFish & Friends To Swim in Amazon’s EC2
Companies can leverage the cloud for testing and troubleshooting integrations

Sun has put its open source GlassFish portfolio and identity management OpenSSO and OpenDS software on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Sun said it was the first step in its strategy to offer its portfolio of open source software on a variety of cloud platforms. Sun of course is supposed to field its own cloud soon. It’s talking a multi-phased program to offer full support and indemnification for these products in the cloud.
The Sun mojo – which may or may not survive Oracle’s acquisition of Sun – is supposed to help build and secure cloud applications. OpenSSO Enterprise is a single solution for web access management, federation and Web Services security; OpenDS Standard Edition is a comprehensive next-generation directory service based on LDAP and DSML standards; GlassFish is Sun’s web server. Sun said companies can also leverage the OpenSolaris operating system and MySQL database, which are already available through EC2 and will soon be available on the Sun Cloud. Running Sun open source software on EC2 is supposed to eliminate infrastructure acquisition costs and hardware requisition delays prior to beginning a proof-of-concept or development effort. Companies can leverage the cloud for testing and troubleshooting integrations, saving the time and expense of installing and configuring Sun software in their labs. Sun evidently think it will garner more users.
