Infraserve to Offer CA Technologies Cloud Computing Platform for Australian ISVs and MSPs
Australian software vendors can now deploy in the cloud and move applications to international locations in a week with the CA AppLogic cloud platform
Sydney, 4 October, 2011 – Infraserve, Australian provider of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), has today announced it is now offering a new Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering powered by the CA AppLogic® turnkey cloud computing platform from CA Technologies. The PaaS solution can enable Australian Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to make their software available in the cloud with minimal modifications. It is the first offering available as part of the Infraserve and CA Technologies partnership, which was announced last month.
With the CA AppLogic cloud platform, Infraserve can now offer ISVs an opportunity to not only host their software in the cloud, but also to become a SaaS provider in new markets quickly and inexpensively.
“To turn a traditional on-premise software product into a cloud-ready SaaS offering can take anywhere from three months to a year. The CA AppLogic-powered Infraserve PaaS solution allows software to be made available in the cloud much more rapidly. Once in the Infraserve cloud, the ISV’s software becomes a reusable and portable virtual business service that can be delivered to customers on CA AppLogic grids around the world,” said Darryn McCoskery, Senior Cloud Strategist, CA Technologies, Australia & New Zealand.
Roy Pater, Director and Co-founder of Infraserve, is proud to be offering this opportunity to Australian ISVs. “Australia is seen as a software innovation hub, and we believe this offering will help our local application providers to expand their reach around the world,” he said. “There are some fantastic ISVs in Australia creating intelligent software for a variety of industries, such as mining, which can be shared with other parts of the world that need those applications.
“Before this solution was available, ISVs would have to find a distributor or reseller network to sell their software in other countries. But with the CA AppLogic-powered Infraserve cloud, Australian ISVs can transform their software to the cloud quickly, and have it available wherever their prospects are located,” said Pater.
In addition to providing an opportunity for Australian ISVs to make their software available as cloud-ready SaaS offerings, the Infraserve PaaS solution can assist managed service providers (MSPs) to offer their clients popular software solutions – such as Microsoft or other CA Technologies software, ERP/CRM applications or hundreds more – easily and quickly.
