Technology
Software deployment in the cloud is complicated.
We make it simple.
Our integrated application layer, intuitive user interface, broad catalog of applications and development platforms, and automated deployment and lifecycle management features make it fast, simple and hassle-free to install and run applications in the cloud.
The Standing Cloud Marketplace includes a web-based Marketplace Storefront, where cloud users can discover, purchase and deploy software and applications; an Orchestration Engine for provisioning and managing IaaS resources, applications and add-ons through their production lifecycle; and automated Software Packaging, utilizing scripted software packaging to add software to the marketplace and enabling multi-cloud deployment and management via the orchestration engine.
Connecting the Layers
We're not a hosting provider. We aren't a PaaS. And we're not SaaS either. But we bridge the gap between all three.

SaaS
Our standard application catalog includes 100 open-source and commercial applications.
PaaS
Our platform capabilities support multiple programming languages and development platforms.
IaaS
We connect via API to leading cloud providers and orchestration services, including OpenStack, vCloud, Eucalyptus, Nimbula and OnApp.
How it Works
By optimizing, integrating and automating the processes of initializing, configuring and deploying cloud servers and the applications that run on them, Standing Cloud makes it as easy as point-click-install to run applications in the cloud, without sacrificing reliability, flexibility or control.
Initiate
We start with a clean server image (not a binary application image) and configure from there. Nothing is pre-staged.
Deploy
From there we spin up a virtual machine, deploy the stack and install any needed supporting software.
Configure
We configure the OS and software depending on the version and server size your user choses.
Install
Users can get started with the app as is, or sync customizations from their GIT or Subversion code repository.
Port
We use stack deployments every time an app is spun up. So restores, server re-sizing and cross-cloud porting is a cinch.
Shut down
When an instance or server is shut down, we automatically back up and store all the information.
Our deployment approach is uniquely model-driven. We use live, scripted deployments rather than application images, enabling our customers to avoid the costs and burden of image library management, while giving their users unmatched application flexibility, portability and stability.
