Hosting Your Application on SaaSGrid
You've already made a brilliant choice on the road to SaaS: you've chosen to build your SaaS application on SaaSGrid. The next question in your SaaS journey is: Where do I deploy my SaaSGrid application?
Apprenda greatly values flexibility and employs a hosting partner model that allows you to access SaaSGrid as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering, while still preserving your right to choose where your application is hosted. This utility model provides a means for you to deploy your application and pay for SaaSGrid as your customer base grows.
Early on, Apprenda realized that SaaS providers have different hosting requirements and needs. In some cases, government regulation may even preclude a SaaS provider from deploying to certain countries or areas of the world based on the sensitivity of your application’s data. These real world requirements and restrictions makes coupling a PaaS offering to a single hosting environment unfeasible. As a result, Apprenda has taken a unique approach with SaaSGrid that provides you with the benefits of PaaS, while still giving you the ability to choose who will host your application.
How It Works
Apprenda partners with the world's leading data center and managed service providers who each independently manage and host a cloud instance of SaaSGrid. When writing your SaaSGrid application, you write against a standardized SaaSGrid API. However, when it’s time to deploy your SaaS offering, you can choose from our group of highly trusted SaaSGrid Cloud Providers, upload your application to their cloud instance, and publish the application to the world via that specific SaaSGrid cloud instance.
This gives you the flexibility of choosing which hosting partner you want to deploy to, affording you the ability to match your deployment needs to your business needs while still leveraging the immense power of the SaaSGrid platform.
