Appcara Showcases A Radically New Approach to Cloud Application Lifecycle Management At Interop and Citrix Synergy

Appcara, maker of cloud application lifecycle solutions, is using next week's Interop Las Vegas and Citrix Synergy events to demonstrate a vastly simplified means of onboarding, managing and automating enterprise cloud applications with its AppStack^® cloud application lifecycle agility and portability platform. As cloud computing expands beyond simple, predefined workloads, AppStack is poised to provide exceptionally fast time-to-market for key business applications - maximizing time, knowledge and profitability.

Despite widespread use of cloud applications, most enterprises are still holding back from placing their more advanced business applications in the cloud - due to the lack of holistic integration and management capabilities required to assure these applications can be installed, configured and tracked reliably to corporate governance and reporting requirements. IT managers still face a limited choice, the need for intensive technical knowledge, and a lot of pain to achieve complete application portability across public and private cloud infrastructures. What is needed is a truly dynamic cloud platform that can address the needs of advanced business applications, and accelerate application services for both enterprises and service provders.

Appcara present an elegant solution in its AppStack, which provides the application layer above the cloud. Through the use of a dynamic configuration repository that captures and assembles complex applications, AppStack eliminates the static nature of server template based solutions. It is the industry's only Dynamic Application Environment - providing a visual, real-time, and far more comprehensive approach at automating cloud workloads with public, private and hybrid clouds. AppStack provides

• Application Lifecycle Agility - end to end integration and management of complex applications throughout their lifecycle - without the need for deep technical knowledge on the part of the user.
• Application Portability - eliminates vendor lock-in, since AppStack enables application portability across both public clouds such as AWS and private clouds based on Citrix^® CloudStack™ and others.
• Single pane-of-glass control to manage the app lifecycle end-to-end from a single intuitive portal.

"After years of running some of the world's largest public cloud operations, Appcara's team knows first-hand what it takes to manage and maintain cloud applications," said John Yung, founder and CEO of Appcara. "Appstack keeps it simple, fast, and visual to deploy and manage even complex applications in the cloud, so customers and service providers can focus on growing their business."

Appcara is showcasing its latest version of AppStack at Interop Las Vegas in its booth #505, and at Citrix Synergy, San Francisco, in its booth #609.
