MacStadium announced the extended availability of Orka
Cluster 3.2, establishing the market's first enterprise-grade macOS
virtualization solution available across multiple deployment options.
This breakthrough release enables organizations to deploy Orka on AWS,
within MacStadium's private cloud, or on-premises in their own data
centers, delivering unprecedented flexibility for enterprise mobile app
development.
As mobile applications drive an increasing share of business revenue,
the demand for enterprise macOS virtualization continues to grow. In
2024, over 1,000 apps were published to the App Store daily, and more
than 75% of companies generated at least 25% of their annual revenue
from mobile apps. Additionally, according to a 451 Research and Oracle study,
98% of Fortune 500 companies are using or planning to use multiple
cloud providers for core business software, highlighting the need for
flexible, scalable infrastructure.
With Orka Cluster 3.2, enterprise development teams can now choose the deployment model that best suits their needs:
-
On AWS: Leverage AWS resources while maintaining the benefits of Orka's macOS virtualization.
-
On MacStadium's Private Cloud: Access secure, scalable Mac infrastructure managed by MacStadium.
-
On-Prem: Deploy Orka within data centers for organizations with strict security or compliance requirements.
"Orka Cluster 3.2 represents a transformative shift in enterprise Mac
DevOps, enabling teams to scale and build applications with
unprecedented deployment flexibility," said Ken Tacelli, MacStadium CEO.
"By offering enterprise-grade macOS virtualization across AWS, private
cloud, and on-premises environments, we're eliminating traditional
barriers to efficient iOS app development."
