Apprenda
Apprenda is an open Platform as a Service (PaaS) stack that empowers any organization to offer developers a self-service cloud computing platform for deploying, running, and managing their Microsoft .NET based applications. Deployable on-premises or in the cloud, Apprenda stitches together any number of Windows Server, SQL Server, and IIS instances into a single, multi-tenant resource pool for .NET web and SOA applications. Applications live as guests on Apprenda and inherit architecture qualities like multi-tenancy, scale-out, and high availability out of the box. Additionally, applications are seamlessly integrated into Apprenda services that provide mission critical capabilities like application patching, end user provisioning, identity federation, and usage metering – all manageable through point and click web portals. The Apprenda platform provides freedom from lock-in and tremendous increases in developer productivity, infrastructure utilization, and app management agility
Key Benefits
• Reduced Costs: Apprenda allows for greatly improved infrastructure utilization, removes human configuration tasks where appropriate, and provides self-service interfaces for developers and IT pros.
• Increased Agility: Apprenda simplifies application deployment, management and scaling, while also improving developer productivity through shared services.
• Streamlined Application Management: Apprenda enables you to manage all of your applications from a central place and never worry about being outside the bounds of IT governance.
• Faster Time to Market: Apprenda provides for a self-service utility model that allows you to upload your compiled code and in a button click, “publish” it. Never configure an application or server again. Deploy apps in minutes rather than weeks or months.
• Reduced Complexity: Apprenda simplifies ongoing application management by abstracting applications away from infrastructure and enforcing a common, inheritable architecture.
