Aruba Cloud launches Jelastic Cloud

Aruba S.p.A., a leader in data centre, cloud, web hosting, email, certified email (PEC) and domain registration services, has launched Jelastic Cloud offering, a Platform as a Service that offers maximum scalability of virtualised resources.

PaaS is a category of Cloud Computing that allows developers, IT consultants, software houses and system integrators of any size to fully focus on the realisation of applications as setup and configuration phases can be managed with extreme simplicity. A PaaS solution is also ideal for applications that serve variable loads while enabling scalability and high availability, separation of services and ease of management.

Gartner predicts that the global PaaS market will have the second-highest growth rate in the cloud services industry this year, growing at a rate of 21.8 per cent, just behind the Infrastructure as a Service market, growing at a rate of 27.5 per cent.

Jelastic Cloud, Aruba's new PaaS offering, provides the tools needed to meet multiple needs, from data entry-oriented websites to more sophisticated cloud-native applications, complementing all phases of the software life cycle.

It is an innovative and easy to use Cloud hosting service, with a pay-as-you-use model. The real strength of this new solution is its flexibility. This single solution is compatible with a vast range of technologies such as PHP, Java, Ruby, Node.js, Python, and .NET / .NET Core, as well as Docker containers and Kubernetes cluster.

Jelastic Cloud offers maximum scalability through container technology and Cloudlets, resource units corresponding to 400 Mhz of CPU and 128 MB of RAM. It is possible to personalise the size of environments guaranteeing the maximum performance of the resources used without waste resulting from unused services.

Jelastic is provided through an intuitive self-service portal, and its constantly updated marketplace allows the deployment of complex services in a few clicks - such as the famous Kubernetes cluster with integrated autoscaling and management tools.

The Jelastic Cloud offering is composed of a pay-per-use solution with hourly pricing and three monthly pricing packages:
