Appcara on Tuesday announced a major upgrade to its AppStack cloud application automation and migration platform that makes it easier to deploy new and existing servers into the cloud. With the process of provisioning enterprise apps still painfully manual and time consuming, Appcara’s repository-based model-driven approach now can assist in migrating a wide range of existing servers into managed cloud environments.
New in the release is the AppStack Onboarding Agent that enables existing external Windows or Linux servers – either physical, virtual or cloud based – to become actively managed from the AppStack portal. With it, users can leverage AppStack’s powerful point-and-click capabilities to install and manage applications on these servers as well as manage lifecycle tasks pertaining to storage, security and monitoring. This enables simplified and centralized management of physical, virtual and cloud servers from a single portal.
