Eucalyptus allows you to build production-ready, AWS-compatible private and hybrid clouds by leveraging your existing virtualized infrastructure to create on-demand cloud resource pools. These highly elastic pools can be dynamically scaled up or down as your application workloads change.

AppScale is an open source runtime system for scalable web and mobile endpoints. AppScale significantly simplifies app implementation and deployment for developers by decoupling apps from the common services modern apps require. Apps access services via well-defined APIs. The AppScale platform implements, configures, deploys, and scales these services along with the apps so developers don’t have to.

Sqrrl enables organizations to build real-time Big Data applications (Big Apps) using a secure, massively scalable data platform powered by Apache Accumulo.
