Appistry Expands Cloud Computing Reach with New Enterprise Program

Appistry, a provider of cloud application platform software, has created a new partnership and pricing initiative, geared toward enterprises that seek to deliver highly scalable and reliable applications via third-party “public clouds.”

 

The announcement is part of the company's strategy to address the complex challenges enterprises face developing, deploying and managing applications in both public and private clouds.

 

The move helps the company to extend the reach of flagship product, Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric (EAF), which powers cloud-based applications for Global 2000 companies, high-profile government agencies and software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) providers.

Appistry's cloud application platform simplifies cloud computing and allows enterprises to more easily realize its full promise — elastic scalability, solid reliability and automated management.

 

The company‘s new pricing model moves from a per-CPU, per-year subscription model to core-based subscriptions for public and private clouds. Appistry will make hourly, on-demand pricing available via direct billing as its cloud partners offer support for that capability

 

“End-users are demanding a platform which sits above the infrastructure and simplifies the development of cloud-enabled applications,” said Kevin Haar, CEO, Appistry, in a statement. “By making our platform more widely available through some of the leading cloud providers, we enable customers to build, deploy and manage applications that scale in both public and private cloud environments.”

 

Appistry simplifies cloud computing for the enterprise, opening the door to a more agile and scalable IT environment. Appistry's application platform addresses the complex challenges of building, deploying and managing a wide variety of applications and services for both public and private clouds.

 

Appistry's products are designed specifically for cloud environments, delivering transparent scalability, application-level fault tolerance, and automated management to new and existing applications. Appistry customers include FedEx, GeoEye, Lockheed Martin (News - Alert) and Northrop Grumman.

 

As part of a new partnership initiative, Appistry is extending the availability of its application platform to a number of leading cloud infrastructure providers. Initial cloud provider partners include GoGrid and SkyTap.

 

“Using Appistry's cloud application platform to manage the elastic scalability of the GoGrid Cloud gives our enterprise customers a distinct technology advantage,” said John Keagy, CEO of GoGrid, in a statement. “Our alliance with Appistry is yet another example of the power of enterprise cloud computing.”
