OpenLogic,
a provider of enterprise open-source solutions for the data center and the
cloud, announced that it has added support for high-volume cloud applications
and Websites to its CloudSwing platform as a service (PaaS) solution.
New CloudSwing
capabilities include deploying a pool of servers, load balancing across
servers, the ability to scale the application tier and database tier
independently, application-level management and monitoring across servers and
support for hosted databases including Amazon Relational Database Service
(RDS).
“The world’s
most flexible and open PaaS solution, CloudSwing now includes a broad set of
capabilities that make it easy to deploy high-volume applications without being
locked in to any cloud provider or any database provider,” said Rod Cope,
OpenLogic CTO and founder, in a statement. “CloudSwing support for Amazon
RDS and other hosted MySQL services will allow users to deploy MySQL-based
cloud applications in a matter of minutes and outsource database administration
to their provider of choice.”
In addition,
CloudSwing is customizable and enables application developers to quickly deploy
and operate cloud platform stacks using any open-source or proprietary
components on the cloud of their choice, OpenLogic officials said.
With
CloudSwing, companies can create scalable cloud applications by deploying a pool of Web servers
or application servers. CloudSwing also supports application-level
monitoring and management across all of the servers. Moreover, CloudSwing
maintains native load balancing on multiple clouds, which enables users to
preserve the freedom to run the application on any cloud provider at any
time. For instance, CloudSwing leverages the native load-balancing
capabilities of both Amazon Web Services and Rackspace.
In addition to
support for Amazon RDS, CloudSwing also supports hosted MySQL databases. It
also includes two new LAMP stacks out-of-the-box: one that uses Amazon RDS for
the data store and another that works with hosted or remote MySQL
instances. These new stacks enable CloudSwing users to use Amazon RDS and
other hosted MySQL services in their own customized technology stacks.
