RUN@cloud - Detailed Features

RUN@cloud makes it easy to provision applications and resources such as databases -- you upload your application, and we handle the details. You don't have to worry about engaging IT resources during the deployment process.

Standards-based, Open Platform for Cloud-based Production Deployment
CloudBees services are based on true open standards and open source software, so you have ultimate flexibility and portability if you need to move your application. We support Java EE Web applications today, and we also support Spring and other JVM languages and frameworks. RUN@cloud offers both Tomcat and JBoss Web Profile runtimes, and is also designed to accommodate integrated third-party deployment services built on top of the platform.

Scale Up, Down and Out as Needed
Applications built on RUN@cloud enjoy unlimited scalability as resource needs grow. But, unlike purchased infrastructure assets, with RUN@cloud your costs automatically reduce as your needs wane on slower days... and then automatically scale back up when resources are needed. You can't do that on your own servers, or even a private cloud, effectively.

Cloud-Native Design
RUN@cloud's special cloud-native architecture lets you take full advantage of cloud architecture and enjoy maximum performance at minimum cost:

  • Enables multiple cloud "tenants" to share the same distributed resources -- without latency
  • Handles scalability based on real load, regardless of infrastructure
  • Provides the necessary metering and billing services
  • Delivers auto-failover, redundancy and unlimited scalability... automatically
  • Includes the RUN@cloud SDK, a collection of local tools that make it simple to run and deploy apps from your local workstation
  • Includes the RUN@cloud API, an HTTP-based API for managing RUN@cloud services
  • Enables deployment from multiple sources: UI, Eclipse, CLI, REST, Maven, Ant, etc.
  • Delivers faster, more efficient performance
  • Handles multiple JVM-based languages and frameworks


Deploy Real Apps
RUN@cloud has no arbitrary platform restrictions or constraints, so you can deploy real applications today, without modification.

RUN@cloud delivers powerful benefits that make deploying to the cloud a breeze:

  • Fast and easy deployment
  • Much higher productivity -- no time spent on IT tasks
  • Much better time-to-market
  • You can invest your resources in development, because you don't need IT
  • Lower cost
  • Lower risk (no need to train IT teams, plan for reliability, bring up new environments, continuously deploy new tools, etc).
  • Unlimited scalability gives you the agility to meet needs as they arise, with no upfront costs
