CloudBees Opens Up Java Platform as a Service to Private Clouds
SANTA CLARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
OPENSTACK CONFERENCE - CloudBees,
the innovation leader in cloud computing for Java, today announced
RUN@cloud Private Edition, which extends the company's rapid-deploy,
instant-scale, no-IT-headaches Java Platform
as a Service (PaaS) to private cloud environments running on
OpenStack™ or vSphere. With this new offering, CloudBees expands choices
for customers on the CloudBees platform: choice in deployment (public,
private or hybrid cloud) and choice of underlying infrastructure
(Amazon, OpenStack or vSphere).
In support of its commitment to an open cloud, CloudBees is also joining
the OpenStack
community. CloudBees will work with the OpenStack ecosystem to bring an
open, enterprise-grade PaaS
to OpenStack users that frees them from vendor lock-in and costly server
virtualization.
News Highlights
-
Recently named by industry analyst firm Gartner (News - Alert) as a Cool
Vendor in the 2011 PaaS market, CloudBees continues to execute
quickly on its PaaS vision. CloudBees accelerated the delivery of its Java
PaaS with the acquisition of Stax Networks in December 2010 and
completed integration within a month. Generally available since
January 2011, RUN@cloud has deployed 4,000 applications already. It
offers developers everything they need to quickly and easily deploy
applications to the cloud-without having to purchase, configure
and maintain hardware, and without having to program applications for
a specific underlying infrastructure service (IaaS).
-
RUN@cloud Private Edition will enable enterprise companies building
private clouds on OpenStack or vSphere to take advantage of CloudBees'
deployment services behind their own firewalls. In addition, public
cloud providers built on OpenStack or vSphere can support RUN@cloud
services. CloudBees is currently onoarding beta customers, with
planned general availability in 2H 2011. Companies interested in
participating in the beta can register here.
-
CloudBees also provides DEV@cloud,
a fully integrated development infrastructure that makes it easier
than ever for developers to quickly write,
build and test applications in the cloud-then instantly deploy to
RUN@cloud. DEV@cloud features Jenkins,
the popular open source continuous
integration server. More than 500 customers have logged over
250,000 Jenkins build minutes in the cloud.
-
With proven track records at JBoss, Macromedia/Allaire, Sun
Microsystems and WebSphere, the CloudBees team has the deep middleware
experience and expertise to drive innovation in PaaS, the 'middleware'
layer of the cloud. CloudBees supports all Java applications,
including Java EE and JVM-based languages. The company will be
expanding to other programming languages in the future and welcomes
input from users.
