SIOS Technology Corp., an industry pioneer in providing IT
resilience through intelligent application availability, today announced the
availability of SIOS AppKeeper in AWS Marketplace. Customers can now easily
try, purchase, and deploy SIOS AppKeeper directly from AWS Marketplace, a
digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software
vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on
Amazon Web Services (AWS).
SIOS AppKeeper
is a SaaS solution that continuously monitors and protects applications running
in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) environments from system
impairments and downtime while eliminating the need for costly and
time-consuming manual intervention. When it detects a system impairment, SIOS
AppKeeper automatically restarts operating system and application services,
rebooting the complete Amazon EC2 instance when needed. SIOS AppKeeper can be
used alone or to add recovery capabilities to an application performance
monitoring (APM) tool.
"Today,
IT teams are facing unprecedented pressure to deliver continuous availability
of applications without adding significant cost or complexity to their
environments," said Masahiro Arai, Chief Operating Officer, SIOS Technology.
"SIOS AppKeeper enables companies to meet this challenge by ensuring the
availability of applications running in Amazon EC2 while eliminating the need
for costly and time-consuming manual intervention. As an offering in AWS
Marketplace, customers have the added convenience of being able to purchase and
deploy SIOS AppKeeper with just a
few clicks."
"I
feel that with SIOS AppKeeper, we are one step closer to an environment where I
can stay calm even when too many people are trying to access our popular
content," said Mr. Yuichiro Fukabori of Hobby Japan, a publishing company that
migrated to AWS in 2013. "The ability to enable a maintenance-free, care-free
environment at low cost is SIOS AppKeeper's advantage."
"As our customers migrate more and more applications to the
cloud, they are looking for
flexibility in balancing the level of availability with costs across all of
their applications," said Chris Grusz,
Director, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "We're delighted to welcome SIOS AppKeeper to AWS
Marketplace and to provide our customers with more choice when performance
changes occur."
With this announcement,
SIOS is extending its relationship with AWS. To simplify and accelerate the
deployment of high availability clusters in the cloud, SIOS high availability
clustering software, SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition, is already available on AWS Marketplace.
