UberCloud and CloudFlow Launch Collaboration

UberCloud and CloudFlow have launched a collaboration to bring together company resources for community, technology and joint marketing. Both companies, according to a press statement, have stated that this partnership is focused on building one community around engineering cloud services with members gaining access to cloud-related information, experimentation and resources.

With this project, organizational members will have access to virtual product development and simulation tools on the cloud. CloudFlow hopes to create a cloud system that is vendor lock-in free and can support SMEs in engineering and manufacturing.

For this technology, CloudFlow has outlined three user groups: end users, software providers and hardware providers. The partnership has begun testing its technology with these individual groups, and is currently conducting experiments on technical aspects such as data, services, workflows, users and business models.

"Our mutual collaboration extends also to new technologies like Linux containers," says Wolfgang Gentzsch, president of the UberCloud. "CloudFlow applications can then instantly run on cloud resources within the project, and demonstrate the user-friendliness of such an approach."

The partnership is now in its second open call for additional application experiments, which will run from June 30 to September 30.
