rPath’s technology simplifies the distribution and consumption of applications via virtual appliances and cloud computing and enables sustainable appliance lifecycle management.
rPath’s rBuilder® and the rPath® Appliance Platform transform applications into virtual appliances. Only rPath’s technology produces appliances in multiple virtual machine formats, simplifies application distribution, and lowers the customer service costs of maintenance and management.
Virtual appliances simplify server applications by eliminating the hassles of installation, configuration and maintenance. Appliances built with rPath technology run in any virtual environment, such as VMware’s Virtual Infrastructure or Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud.
With the rising popularity of these environments, virtual appliances are quickly becoming an accepted way to easily deliver applications. Benefits of adopting virtual appliances include:
· Market Expansion - Virtual appliances simplify complex installation, configuration and maintenance tasks, making them an ideal way for software vendors to reach customers in SMB and emerging markets.
· Maximize Development, QA & Support Resources - With virtual appliances, a single release of the application supports all platforms, eliminating the enormous resource drain of multiplatform development, testing and support.
· Improve Customer Satisfaction - Virtual appliances deliver the benefit of the application without the hassles of integration and maintenance. Rapid deployment ensures quick time to productivity for end-user customers.
