Microsoft turned up Monday in Beijing with a cloud pact with leading Chinese Linux provider China Standard Software Co Ltd (CS2C).
They’re supposed to co-develop, co-market and sell “mixed-source” solutions to the Chinese public and private cloud market.
The widgetry will be built on Microsoft’s Hyper-V cloud architecture and include support for CS2C’s NeoKylin Linux Server products. A customer legal covenant agreement goes with it. What exactly that means wasn’t disclosed nor were any terms.
The pair also pledged to sponsor a joint virtual technology lab in Beijing for solution development and testing of cloud solutions, which is supposed to enable customers to move to virtualization and a cloud-based IT infrastructure. It will focus on the certification of NeoKylin on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V, creating Microsoft Systems Center management packs for NeoKylin application workloads, and incorporating support for NeoKylin in Hyper-V.
