Introducing Elastic Server On Demand

Ta Da! Ok…so now all people who keep asking “what have you been working on” are going to get your answer…

We at CohesiveFT, have finally opened Elastic Server On Demand Beta up to public registration! So what is this thing?

Elastic Servers are custom application stacks that you build from a set of components you can upload or pick from our list (we’ve got all sorts of goodies including Open Source Java stuff, Ruby on Rails stuff, etc), and download in a variety of virtualized formats (vmware, xen, parallels) or even launch it into the Amazon EC2 cloud!

That’s right, you can build yourself a nice server for the EC2 cloud in minutes, not hours and days! And you can save the template so that next time you want another one you can build it very quickly. Share your templates with your friends, or if you’re a vendor, build your own fully customized portal so that others can build elastic servers from a set of components you provide! Or if you’re lazy, just pick an already built server from the community downloads and play around with it!

Give it a shot and tell me what you think! Elastic Server On Demand.

Well, it seem useful, but for example the ruby+rails stack is awfully outdated =(

Yes, sorry about that we are working to update it all. Ideally we want to get to the point where the community is uploading components useful to them, which are then promoted to be part of the official portals as they gain acceptance and good reviews!
