I think you're getting cloud computing mixed up with virtualization. For virtualization (that's free), you can go with VMWare ESXi, XenServer, VirtualBox, Linux KVM, or Microsoft Hyper-V.

You'll want to make sure that your processor/chipset supports Intel VT or AMD-V virtualization as well.

You'll likely find VMWare a bit easier to setup and it has good Windows support, but the differences between all the major players gets a bit grayer all the time.

I know nothing of Eucalyptus, but it doesn't sound like you do either :) Perhaps you should go to their website and download it, the whitepaper, and/or join the community there? ServerFault works better for specific questions or issues.

I think he meant using Eucalyptus as a 'cloud' (over-abused word) platform. It can use KVM as the underlying HVM. – sybreon Apr 13 '10 at 17:23
Hi Sybreon your right we look to kvm or xen host images diff project!!! – neolix Apr 14 '10 at 10:12

hello sybreon what you should look into is tools like eucalyptus, nimbus, opennebula and other virtualization platform administrators. Because basically infraestructure as a service is to provide many machines with hypervisors as one big machine and manage them just from one backend (or more than one).
