Latest news about Apprenda
2015. Enterprise PaaS company Apprenda raises $24M
Apprenda, a provider of enterprise platform as a service (PaaS), has successfully secured a $24 million Series D funding round led by Safeguard Scientifics. Apprenda, like other enterprise PaaS services, aims to simplify the process of building modern software for enterprise developers on its infrastructure. What differentiates Apprenda from its competitors is its ability to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure and applications within enterprises. The company plans to utilize the newly raised funds to expand its engineering, product, client services, and sales teams, with the goal of driving wider adoption of its enterprise PaaS. Sinclair Schuller, CEO and co-founder of Apprenda, emphasized the customer-centric approach, stating, "We believe PaaS is only doable one way—the customer's way. This means our technology had to be built to support everything upstream and downstream from our platform in a highly compatible way. And because of this, our vision of helping enterprises convert their data centers into cloud platforms supercharged for developer productivity has become a reality."
2014. Apprenda teams with Piston to gain OpenStack support
Enterprise Platform as a Service provider Apprenda, initially focused on .NET and Windows for its Platform-as-a-Service offering but later expanded to include other languages and technologies, has formed a partnership with Piston Cloud, the developer of a private CloudOS, to align with the OpenStack ecosystem. Together, Apprenda and Piston will deliver an integrated solution that empowers agile software development teams to accelerate the creation of Java and .NET cloud applications and microservices within a truly hybrid cloud environment. Given the growing adoption of both PaaS and OpenStack solutions among enterprise developers, this collaboration presents a compelling joint solution.
2014. PaaS platform Apprenda adds JBoss support
Apprenda, a company that supports a private Platform as a Service (PaaS) for running Java and Windows applications, is expanding its capabilities by introducing JBoss and Tomcat support. This integration allows for deeper integration with popular Java workloads. Initially, Apprenda focused on providing a Microsoft .NET-centric PaaS for businesses. However, the addition of Java support was a significant advantage for enterprise organizations that operate both Java and Windows applications. With JBoss support, Apprenda now competes more directly with Red Hat, the owner of JBoss, which promotes its OpenShift PaaS. Another player in the private PaaS market is Pivotal CF, which implements Cloud Foundry. Private PaaS solutions operate within a company's internal infrastructure or private cloud, in contrast to public PaaS offerings that rely on shared infrastructure like Amazon Web Services.
