EUCALYPTUS - Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for implementing "cloud computing" on clusters. The current interface to EUCALYPTUS is compatible with Amazon's EC2 interface, but the infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces. EUCALYPTUS is implemented using commonly available Linux tools and basic Web-service technologies making it easy to install and maintain.
g-Eclipse is a framework that allows users and developers to access Computing Grids and Cloud Computing resources in a unified way. The framework itself is independent from a certain Grid middleware or Cloud Computing provider. The g-Eclipse project maintains a set of connectors to Grid middlewares and provides an adapter to the Amazon webservices EC2 and S3. Take a look at this video that shows the usage of g-Eclipse within a Cloud Computing environment.
