Standing Cloud Application Marketplace
Over 100 open-source and commercial apps, and counting
The Standing Cloud Application Network delivers instant access to nearly 100 open-source and commercial apps and software tools, each pre-configured to run instantly and reliably on Rackspace industry-leading infrastructure, with full backups, monitoring, auto-restore and more.
For the non-technical user, many applications are ready to go ‘out of the box,’ including some of today’s most in-demand CRM and CMS applications and business solutions.
We offer these popular apps and many, many more:
Simplified Installation
Installation and configuration is point-and-click simple through the intuitive web-based interface of Standing Cloud’s Application Network. Users can spin up Rackspace servers and instantly install any application from the Application Network on those VMs, all from a single console, in just a few clicks.
Once an application is deployed, Standing Cloud's automated Application & Lifecycle Management Services deliver a powerful set of automated managed services for application support, including monitoring, scaling, back-ups, upgrades, auto-restore and more, all delivered transparently and automatically.
Application Monitoring & Management
Once an application is deployed, Standing Cloud's automated Application & Lifecycle Management Services deliver a powerful set of automated managed services for application support, including 24/7 monitoring, scaling, back-ups, upgrades, auto-restore and more, all delivered transparently and automatically.
Users can set full backups – including application configuration and data – to run daily, hourly, or on-demand. If and installation becomes unresponsive, Standing Cloud will restore it automatically, at your option.
Cloud Infrastructure
Standing Cloud provisions your servers through Rackspace's API, enabling quick development platform and application deployment.
Our web-based management interface makes common infrastructure configurations like server size, monitoring, backups, and automated recovery fast, painless and flexible. You can quickly and easily scale server resources up or down, install multiple deployments of applications, and set or change clouds, backup intervals, recovery settings and more, all with point-and-click simplicity.
Standing Cloud’s suite of application installation options also supports Multi-Tier application deployment for load balancing of servers and applications. Distributing the load across multiple servers and applications reduces the number of potential failure points and adds another layer of up-time and security to hosted applications.
Development Platform
Standing Cloud’s technology supports multiple programming languages and development platforms, including Rails, Java, PHP and Python, and a wide range of cloud service providers and orchestration software systems.
Users can deploy one of our technology stacks on Rackspace to take advantage of scalability, redundancy and cross-cloud portability and avoid being limited to a single infrastructure.
For the more technical user, Standing Cloud provides tools for code customization that give users control of their application, without the hassle of DevOps. Files can be uploaded via FTP, or users can sync from their own Git or Subversion code repository on top of a Standing Cloud stack deployment
