A robust ecosystem of solutions providers is emerging around cloud computing. Here, SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal expands its list of most active players in the fast-emerging Cloud Ecosystem, from the 'mere' 100 we identified back in January of this year, to half as many again - testimony, if any further were needed, to the fierce and continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of enterprise computing.

Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web sites cited. As ever we encourage software engineers, developers, IT operations managers, and new/growing companies in every case to "suck it and see" by downloading or otherwise sampling the offering in question for themselves.

See the next page for fuller details on each company and its respective cloud offerings and/or initiatives. Here, though, first is the overall list of companies. (Omissions to this Top 150 list should be sent to cloud (at) sys-con.com, and we will endeavor to include them in any future revision of this expanded round-up.)

As the article's entry for SLA@SOI was misformatted here's a small footnote on the project...
SLA@SOI's (http://sla-at-soi.eu) vision is to create a business-ready service-oriented infrastructure that will empower the service economy in a flexible and dependable way.

I would have expected HyperOffice to make the cut. It is one of the most well recognized companies offering integrated messaging and collaboration solutions, and a cloud based and inexpensive alternative to MS Exchange and Sharepoint.

Since you are really talking about the cloud ecosystem, and not just cloud providers, you should consider Reductive Labs, which makes Puppet an open source configuration management framework. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet

Puppet is leveraged by a significant fraction of the companies on your list, in addition to being used by many of the infrastructure as a service customers.

John M. Willis called Puppet, "the cloud's dirty little secret".
