Recently, cloud computing has witnessed remarkable growth both in terms of quality and quantity within its technology.

To provide the cloud computing users with high end computing power with minimum investment, Nimbula, established by the team that developed the industry-leading Amazon EC2 and Electric Cloud (News - Alert),  smart development cloud company have decided to work together. The announcement has been made at the Electric Cloud Summit.

According to a press release, Nimbula will develop an integrated solution with Electric Cloud. This solution will enable the development teams using ElectricCommander to manage and execute application build-test-deploy processes on Nimbula Director cloud resources.

With this integration, developers can pay heed on the applications development process without caring about the management of the underlying infrastructure resources.

"Nimbula recognizes that developers are highly focused on application lifecycle development often through a DevOps methodology. They have infrastructure requirements but don't necessarily wish to manage them," said Reza Malekzadeh, VP of Marketing at Nimbula. "Nimbula Director is the underlying flexible, automated cloud foundation that provides resources when needed and reclaims them when they're no longer needed."

Nimbula Director, an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for managing compute and storage resources helps enterprises and service providers to build powerful private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructure. The joint solution is distributed as an ElectricCommander plug-in that provisions Nimbula cloud environments, elastically growing/shrinking and tearing them down as needed in a self-service manner.

"Cloud infrastructure is widely used among engineering teams in the enterprise to support software development, testing and deployment. Nimbula Director is designed to service that market," said Anders Wallgren, CTO of Electric Cloud. "With today's announcement from Nimbula and Electric Cloud, teams can automatically manage the lifecycle of cloud resources in the context of the development process to achieve greater development agility, create higher quality software and speed time-to-market."
