Open-source cloud services provider OpenLogic has announced it has
joined the Cloud Tools programme with Rackspace Hosting, enabling
CloudSwing to be deployed on the Rackspace Cloud.Cloud Tools is a
showcase site for Rackspace's strategic partners and independent
developers working with the company's cloud to share tools, applications
and services.
Platform showcase "The Rackspace Cloud and CloudSwing are
both built to handle the highly flexible and on-demand environments that
enterprises need to deploy in the cloud," said Ven Shanmugam, senior
manager of strategy and corporate development at Rackspace. "We welcome
OpenLogic into our Cloud Tools community."OpenLogic CloudSwing is a
flexible platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud provision that offers cost
tracking and complete customisation of technology stacks. The
partnership allows Rackspace Cloud customers to use OpenLogic CloudSwing
to create their own customised PaaS by deploying preconfigured or
customised stacks on top of their Cloud Servers."We are excited to
expand OpenLogic CloudSwing's momentum to the Rackspace Cloud customer
ecosystem," said Kim Weins, senior vice president of marketing of
OpenLogic. "CloudSwing has more than tripled the number of users in the
first 60 days.
As enterprises look to build customised PaaS environments
in the Rackspace Cloud, we anticipate this growth to
continue."CloudSwing users will be able to manage and monitor
applications deployed in the Rackspace Cloud from the CloudSwing
Dashboard.The Rackspace partnership should prove ideal for OpenLogic,
which has recently integrated the New Relic Standard Edition cloud
application monitoring product into CloudSpace. New Relic allows
developers to control how a PaaS implementation behaves down to its
finest details and is based on open-source technologies, so CloudSwing
is free from the dangers of cloud vendor lock-in."Offering New Relic
Standard free of charge for complete application monitoring allows
CloudSwing to go beyond the server- or instance-level monitoring offered
by most cloud providers.
New Relic provides all of the key metrics that
our CloudSwing customers need to monitor and manage their cloud
applications," said Rod Cope, OpenLogic CTO, in that press release.Those
looking into building PaaS implementations can benefit by the
flexibility offered by combining a large host with open-source tools,
which also incorporate advance management and monitoring capabilities.
Rackspace with CloudSwing and New Relic should deliver the capabilities
to get quickly started in the PaaS realm.
