Jelastic Teams with South America’s Largest Web Hosting Provider to Offer Next-Generation Cloud Platform
Palo Alto, Calif. (PRWEB) October 08, 2013 -- Jelastic Inc., the industry’s first zero-code-change platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for next-generation cloud computing, and Locaweb, South America’s largest web hosting and infrastructure services provider, today announced a new partnership that enables the companies to offer a highly competitive, next-generation cloud computing platform in South America.
“We’re excited to kick-off our partnership with Locaweb and thrilled to be partnering with the largest web hosting company in Brazil and Latin America,” said John Derrick, Jelastic CEO. “Customer demand for scalable, easy-to-deploy PaaS solutions is on the rise, and we are seeing tremendous traction in Brazil, where Locaweb already has an impressive customer base and loyal developer following. Our alliance with Locaweb further validates Jelastic’s ongoing commitment to deliver a superior PaaS in dynamic, high-growth technology regions, such as South America, and around the globe.”
Locaweb services more than 260,000 customers and is one of the first web hosting providers to utilize state-of-the-art cost models in South America to derive increased value and significant savings. Locaweb’s cloud computing solutions are considered to be among the lowest cost offerings for most standard hosting customers in that region—even more aggressive than other leading hosting companies, including Amazon.
Jelastic is renowned for its unique approach to cloud hosting which can scale any Java or PHP application. The company developed the industry’s first zero-code-change PaaS for next-generation cloud computing, where installation and configuration are dramatically simplified and fully automated—providing full control over the servers. Additionally, Jelastic offers a highly intuitive UI that allows users to set up cloud environments within seconds, choose from major software stacks and enjoy an essential auto-scaling feature that saves critical time and money.
"Most of our partnering web developers are interested in exploring the advantages of hosting applications in the cloud, but many of them are unable to manage the ever-changing infrastructure requirements in such dynamic environments,” said Gilberto Mautner, Locaweb Founder. “We are pleased to team with Jelastic to provide an intelligent, powerful, automated cloud computing platform that our customers can easily deploy, run and scale even their most critical applications.”
Jelastic teams with key technology partners such as The Apache Foundation, Eclipse, NGINX, Oracle and Parallels. The company supports a wide variety of application servers for Java and PHP (Tomcat, TomEE, GlassFish, Jetty, Apache, NGINX), databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, CouchDB, MongoDB), Memcached and others.
Jelastic’s web hosting partners represent an integral part of the cloud revolution, offering advanced, attractive and competitive Java and PHP cloud hosting services to their customers. Currently, Jelastic partners with more than 20 worldwide web hosting providers to offer a sophisticated Java and PHP hosting platform in more countries than any other cloud platform in the market.
