The .NET Private PaaS for the Enterprise

The promise of Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the pinnacle of cloud computing: developers upload a web or SOA application that has no knowledge or special configuration for servers, OS’, or networking and let the PaaS do its magic by dynamically deploying and managing that app for you. Today, PaaS is commonly delivered in a ‘public’ (or outsourced) context, meaning that a PaaS provider o�ers the platform runtime and operates the platform as a 3rd party. While this may work for small development shops and certain enterprise use cases, it by no means covers the broad-based needs of enterprise IT. Constraints such as SLA needs, latency, regulatory concerns, risk management, and co-located integrations are real concerns that prevent you from leveraging public PaaS. Clearly, PaaS o�ers tremendous value as a technology layer; it would be a shame to let PaaS’ public-only accessibility bottle up its value and prevent it from being used across the broader set of IT uses cases. What if you could leverage a PaaS deployed within the walls of enterprise IT, giving you the benefits of this powerful cloud abstraction without the hassle or barriers presented by public counterparts?

Apprenda delivers on the vision of giving you the power of an advanced PaaS without the constraints typically associated with adopting public PaaS. Apprenda is an out of the box private PaaS that you can own and operate on either a public infrastructure or within your own datacenter environments, providing an accessible foundation for the hundreds or even thousands of Microsoft .NET web and SOA apps in your enterprise IT app portfolio. Apprenda stitches together any number of load balancers, Windows Server, SQL Server, and IIS assets (including your existing server and virtualization investments) into a single, multi-tenant resource pool – e�ectively creating an application fabric that makes your databases, user interfaces, and web services first class citizens of its distributed runtime. Fundamentally, Apprenda allows development teams to write an application as a traditional one-, two-, or three-tier web and SOA architecture using standard Microsoft technologies and deploy it to the Apprenda fabric, where it automatically inherits an advanced set of cloud behaviors and capabilities.

Apprenda’s focus is to simplify the development and deployment of enterprise apps, trivialize management of those applications through codified workflows, and allow enterprise IT to provide app developers a set of high value shared architecture capabilities to drastically slash app development time. This transformative approach to custom software delivery a�ords across-the-boarddevelopment and operational e�ciencies.
