BitRock and RightScale Enable Application Deployment on Amazon's EC2

BitRock and RightScale partner to enable one-click deployment of open source
applications in the cloud.

San Francisco, CA July 31, 2008 -- BitRock Inc., the leading provider of
tools and services for deploying open source applications, and RightScale,
the leader in cloud computing management, announced today a partnership to
provide one-click deployments of popular open source applications on
Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Users of RightScale's cloud computing
management system can now select from a menu of applications, such as
Drupal, Joomla!, Wordpress, and MediaWiki, and launch them in an instant to
EC2.

"RightScale has done a great job of automating the deployment and management
of EC2 images," said Erica Brescia, BitRock's CEO. "Combining their
technology with our ready-to-run BitNami Stacks makes deploying open source
applications to EC2 a snap."

RightScale offers free developer accounts and new users receive ten hours of
free EC2 computing time when they register with RightScale. Once registered,
users can select from several BitNami application stacks to deploy, or they
can launch their own software. The BitNami-packaged applications allow users
to get up and running with content management systems, blogs, wikis and even
productivity software. Currently available applications include: Dokuwiki,
MediaWiki, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, phpBB, moodle, ezPublish, Mantis,
Django, Redmine, Trac and Tracks.

"We're pleased to partner with Bitnami to add several of their most popular
open source applications to the RightScale library of server templates,"
said Michael Crandell, CEO of RightScale. "This combination makes the free
edition of RightScale even more powerful and valuable to those looking to
explore the power and convenience of cloud computing."
