Apprenda Delivers Free Downloadable Version of Its Enterprise PaaS Offering

Apprenda Express brings unrestricted open PaaS for .NET deployment on up to 12GB cluster

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y., Jan 11, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Apprenda, an open Platform as a Service (PaaS) stack, today announced it has updated Apprenda Express, its free downloadable version. PaaS is one of the hottest IT technologies this year, and Apprenda Express allows developers to deploy their own production-ready .NET PaaS for free, on up to 12GBs of RAM, without any other restrictions.

Unlike traditional PaaS offerings, Apprenda makes PaaS a reality for even the most mission critical applications and workloads, focusing on helping companies leverage their vast amounts of .NET code and existing Windows infrastructure by offering a “plug-and-play” self-service .NET cloud platform approach.

“Apprenda Express lets developers quickly download and test drive a robust PaaS offering,” said Sinclair Schuller, CEO of Apprenda. “Companies can experiment with one of the year’s most exciting technologies and get a feel for the advantages of a PaaS solution. The best part is that Apprenda Express handles all of the complex development challenges associated with building and delivering cloud applications, and is free for deployments using up to 12GBs of RAM. “

About Apprenda Express

Apprenda Express, the first ever-downloadable Platform as a Service, now incorporates all of the main features and functions of the company’s flagship Apprenda 3.0 platform as a free and self-installable product. Solutions built on top of Apprenda Express benefit from new capabilities that were not there before, adding significant value to the actual application itself. Customers not only get their cloud applications deployed quickly, but they become progressively better by inheriting all the benefits of the Apprenda platform.

Apprenda Express provides the same “out of the box” architectural components and application services found in the full-fledged Apprenda solution including application management tools; frameworks and APIs to access higher order value; and, it utilizes a run-time model that sits underneath applications as they execute and abstracts away non-strategic details and complexities.
