Now, RightScale users can more easily build, test and deploy applications on leading clouds such as Amazon EC2 using the most advanced version of IBM DB2 directly from the RightScale platform.

"We are proud that RightScale customers will be among the first to take advantage of the latest advances in DB2 technology by deploying their database servers on a cloud in a fully managed RightScale cloud deployment," said Michael Crandell, RightScale CEO.

RightScale's Web-based cloud management platform lets any organization tap the enormous power of cloud computing for scalable, cost-effective IT infrastructure on demand, with complete control and portability.

RightScale reduces the complexity of cloud deployments, enabling organizations to launch business-critical applications rapidly, without the risk of lock-in. IBM DB2 Express-C 9.7 is a no-charge community edition of the DB2 database server. DB2 Express-C can be set up quickly, is easy to use, and includes self-managing capabilities.

The RightScale Platform now includes "cloud-ready" ServerTemplates for IBM DB2 Express-C 9.7 for both the CentOS and Ubuntu operating systems.

RightScale ServerTemplates are pre-built templates for common server configurations, such as front-end Web servers, redundant database servers, or grid processing servers. ServerTemplates launch servers that know how to operate in the cloud, how to obtain an IP address, how to access and manage storage, how to submit monitoring data and how to collaborate with other servers in a cloud deployment.
