Jelastic in the News

"This weekend I wanted to experiment with a cloud solution for Java. In the past I tried out Google App Engine, but although easy and fast, it forces you to use the Google API and has some limitations. This time, the criteria for the platform was running nearly anything in a web container. And I think I found the perfect match..."

"These days Platform as a Service (PaaS) is one of my interest areas and I like to play with different PaaS providers to see how easy or difficult it is to develop and deploy application on them. The best thing about most of the current new generation PaaS systems is that they don't require you to change your code or learn new programming paradigm. Google App Engine is thing of past and is losing ground in PaaS race. For last six months I have spend some of my spare time on OpenShift and Cloud Foundry and one thing I can say is that I love both of the platforms. Today I decided to spend some time on Jelastic — seeing how easy or difficult is to deploy a simple Spring MongoDB application on it."

"Hivext Technologies wird seine Cloud-Plattform Jelastic im März offiziell in Nordamerika und Europa in Betrieb nehmen. Damit endet die Betaphase des Dienstes und auch die ersten Preise stehen fest. Gegenüber vergleichbaren Cloud-Diensten sollen sich die Gebühren mit Jelastic nicht nach Größe der eingesetzten Rechner richten, sondern es werde nach verbrauchten Ressourcen gerechnet. Hivext Technologies spricht hier von sogenannten "Cloudlets", die jeweils 128 MByte RAM und eine zu einem 200 MHz-Prozessor äquivalente Rechenleistung aufweisen."

"McLean, Va., February 16, 2012 — ServInt, a pioneering provider of managed hosting for enterprises worldwide, today announced the pricing methodology behind Jelastic, its soon-to-be-released, cloud-based Java development platform."

"Well, January is gone and February is here. They say time flies when you are having fun. So much is going on here at Jelastic but there are a few things that you want to make sure that you keep in mind."

"I have been watching the Jelastic Cloud for almost a month and finally I gave it a try last week. The team behind Jelastic did all the ground works for us to get up and Running with Railo in their environment. I have configured Railo and created a sample job search application railoweb.akbarsait.com and hosted it in their Cloud in just 10 minutes time."

"JRuby + Jelastic = sweet option for developers? The Jelastic Java server hosting platform for developers continues to expand. On the back of a refined Platform as a Service (PaaS) function at the end of last year, Jelastic now supports Java Virtual Machine-based applications written in languages including Scala, Groovy, and now the JRuby Java implementation of the Ruby language."

"For Java developers working on the nascent Jelastic Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), it now requires just a mouse click to activate new automated high availability (HA) features for their applications, the company announced. With that click, the Jelastic platform clusters each app server with another app server running on a separate virtual machine (VM), and replicates the sessions between them, explained the company's founder and CEO Ruslan Synytsky."

"Jelastic, creators of a PaaS (platform-as-a-service) infrastructure for Java application development has added new features to ensure automated high availability of Java apps. Jelastic lets devs run any Java app in the cloud without code changes and or rewrites for APIs, and offers a full range of support for creating, deploying, scaling and managing apps."

"Jelastic has been a popular multi-container PaaS solution for Java developments offering support for GlassFish among other container choices. It now fully supports the GlassFish 3.1.x clustering DAS-based architecture with horizontal scaling and session replication, both of which leverage Jelastic's NGINX-based load-balancing service."

"GlassFish is an open-source application server that can run any Java EE application, providing enterprise level reliability and performance with full clustering and has wide functionality range. Up until now, GlassFish could be used as a separate server within Jelastic, but now you have the option for high-availability for GlassFish, allowing for full instance and cluster replication."

"Do you want your new Liferay 6.1 GA1, with all these new functionalities: english and spanish, in the cloud? Follow these simple steps to achieve it, even if you want to use the new Setup Wizard."

"Here are some details on how the high availability features that we added few days ago work. This boils down to properly setting up session replication between Tomcat, GlassFish and Jetty web servers in Jelastic and configuring load balancer redirecting requests to them. Session replication then keeps copying session data between server instances thus providing high reliability, scalability, and perfect failover capabilities."

"Amazon's dedicated servers are a little bit expensive for me, at least for now. I used Amazon Micro Instances for testing purposes. They are working well for small projects like mine. However, for the production, I needed a high performance machine and I found Jelastic (thanks Emrah). It's really fantastic. It has an intuitive web front end, high performance machines, real time scaling and best of all it's free for beta testing period. I put a load balancer front, 4 Tomcat7 application servers behind it and lastly I added my MySQL DB at the end of the stack. Perfect config for now."

"You've created the next amazing blockbuster Java application and now need to find a server to run it, looking for a service which would be cost-effective, elastic, compatible with your application and tools, and not trying to lock you in."

"Good news for Java developers! Now you can build applications in Jelastic cloud instead of building them locally and uploading WAR archives. What are my benefits you may ask? First of all, it is faster and takes less traffic and here is why: package files can be quite large and need reupload every time your application changes Jelastic can take only the code changes from version control repository and rebuild your application in the cloud. Second, you get the efficiency of the cloud and can use your computer without any extra load."

"Jelastic has ramped up its Java server hosting platform for developers with a newly refined Platform‑as‑a‑Service (PaaS) function. Updating its central offering as it has, Jelastic now allows programmers to build and run a Java application in the cloud instead of from a personal computer. Using Jelastic's platform, developers can swap test and production environments to fine tune their work. There is also the option to clone an exact copy to test or prepare an application for production deployment."

"Ever thought of hosting your apps in ap App Server on the cloud? How about a cloud database so that you can put "data accessibility" feature on you app? I welcome you to Jelastic!"

"Hivext Technologies announced this week that its Java-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Jelastic will be supporting the Nginx Web server."

"Java platform as a service offering Jelastic (www.jelastic.com) announced on Wednesday that it has built the popular open-source web server NGINX (www.nginx.com) into its platform to provide customers with better performance and efficiency."

"Jelastic, another entrant in the quickly growing Java platform-as-a-service (PaaS) marketplace, has announced the addition of so-called "Tech All-Stars" to its roster of cloud advisers. Jelastics adviser base now includes the founder of My SQL AB and the MariaDB database server, the creator of the Groovy++ Java programming language, and the developer of the Nginx web server."

"Jelastic.com, the Java PaaS similar to Heroku, has compiled an interesting market share analysis of their more than 1,000 developers. Since their service is built on standard application servers and databases, their developers can choose which of four major open source databases they want to use: MySQL, Postgres, MariaDB and MongoDB. Granted, this is just one company's view of things, but given that the numbers are still interesting, and there are some differences between the choices by North American and European developers."

"Undaunted by sharing the same conference hall space as Mr. Ellison himself, Hivext Technologies has used its appearance at Oracle Open World and JavaOne this week to announced free beta availability of the Jelastic Platform-as-a-Service, a PaaS offering which aims to run any Java application in the cloud without code changes."

"At the JavaOne conference today, Hivext Technologies plans to confront this issue directly with the beta release of a Jelastic PaaS for Java applications, exclusively available from Servint in North America. Jelastic is specifically designed to run Java applications transparently in the cloud without requiring developers to invoke specific application programming interfaces within their applications."

"Hivext Technologies announced beta availability of its Jelastic PaaS offering in North America, with The ServInt Corporation as the official launch partner. The PaaS allows the running of any Java application on cloud infrastructure without code changes, and the company is looking squarely at the service provider channel for its.."
