It is not yet clear how clouds will be used in the enterprise, but it is likely they will underpin J2EE applications. If that does turn out to be true, the sheer scale and speed of elastic cloud deployments will preclude hand-coded provisioning. Something like Phurnace Deliver will be required. The company is far from the only one to have had this insight, but by integrating with the leading Web application servers, Phurnace hopes to get the drop on its rivals. |

Modern IT architectures like SOA allow and require web applications to change rapidly along with business needs. Some of the major bottlenecks to this sort of agility are configuration errors inside application deployment scripts. When an application is altered, the scripts that deploy it onto the web may need altering as well. But when nobody on the team can remember who wrote the script or what parts need to be rewritten, the downtime can cost enterprises a lot of money. |

When it comes to mission-critical applications, companies are willing to dole out a lot of cash to see results, but according to recent survey findings, the investment doesn’t always deliver a positive outcome. Yet despite large investments of personnel time and budget dollars, manual configuration errors resulting in Web application downtime can cost some companies up to $72,000, survey data shows. |

Phurnace Software and Ixion, an IBM systems integrator, have deployed a production-level
instance of IBM's WebSphere Portal to Amazon EC2. Using Phurnace Deliver, Ixion
is automating the configuration of Quintana Capital Group's Web application servers and
deploying its J2EE extranet portal applications to EC2. Quintana uses the portal to interact
with its clients. Through an agreement inked early this year, IBM now makes Amazon
Machine Images (AMIs) of several of its enterprise platforms available to its customers
through an EC2 catalog. The deal lets SMBs build custom IBM apps while leveraging EC2's
pay-as-you-go pricing. IT administrators can use Phurnace's cloud 'on-ramp' products to
upload, update and maintain those AMIs on EC2. |
