RightScale announced the launch of its MultiCloud Marketplace, a clearing house for ready-to-run, customizable software designed according to best practices for launching and managing servers in the cloud.
Organizations and developers can leverage a broad collection of software solutions, provided by RightScale and software partners, ranging from end-user applications to middleware and components such as data stores, application and web servers, grid frameworks, and more.
By using the MultiCloud Marketplace, companies can cut costs and reduce their time to market in building cloud deployments while maintaining the ability to customize them for their business needs and run them across multiple cloud environments – both public and private.
RightScale offers the MultiCloud Marketplace as an open market for software vendors, companies and individuals to publish cloud-ready versions of software deployments, which makes it a powerful resource for businesses just getting started on the cloud as well as active users managing complex cloud deployments.
These cloud-ready solutions, which utilize RightScale’s ServerTemplate technology, eliminate the complexity associated with building, provisioning and managing servers in cloud environments, leveraging years of experience from RightScale, their partners and the user community.
ServerTemplates contain reusable, easily adaptable components that save significant time in creating new customized configurations, and in managing the lifecycle of deployed applications from development to test to production to maintenance.
The RightScale ServerTemplate methodology is fundamental to a truly automated multi-cloud infrastructure because it enables cloud servers to be launched and dynamically configured at run time without any manual work.
You can think of our MultiCloud Marketplace as an app store for IT professionals using the cloud – and the first to offer true multi-cloud portability,” said Michael Crandell, CEO, RightScale. Cloud infrastructure delivers unprecedented agility, but launching and managing applications in the cloud with high operational excellence is still complex and time consuming.”
The MultiCloud Marketplace currently has hundreds of published ServerTemplates from RightScale and partners, and new templates are being published every week. Including private versions, the RightScale community has developed more than 42,500 cloud-ready RightScale ServerTemplates in total – which doubles the number created at the same time last year and illustrates the rapid growth in types of workloads managed on the cloud.
