Appistry’s cloud computing application platform is at the convergence of grid computing, virtualization and SOA. Together, these technologies enable a new world of "real-time" IT applications and infrastructure, which offers great promise to the enterprise, coupling the scalability benefits of grid computing, the architectural benefits of SOA, and the operational benefits of virtualization. The first application platform to enable cloud computing Founded in 2001 by technology executives and innovators who recognized the inherent cost, complexity and inflexibility of traditional IT architectures, Appistry set out to develop a software-based model that would free applications from the rigidity and complexity of traditional infrastructure. In the process they found a way to transform how organizations develop, deploy and maintain the applications that drive their businesses. In 2003, Appistry released the first commercially software infrastructure product to enable cloud computing principles. This revolutionary platform enabled organizations to deploy extraordinarily scalable and reliable applications on commodity-grade hardware, shunning both expensive proprietary hardware options and complex application infrastructure approaches. Today, Appistry continues to lead the way with the development of its cloud application platform. Its solutions offer compelling advantages for business decision makers, system administrators, and developers. By focusing on core principles of reducing costs and complexity while increasing application scalability, reliability and agility, Appistry will continue to look beyond industry expectations to deliver revolutionary technology—and benefits—to customers.
