Cloud computing is the latest hot technology, but a number of organizations still don’t think it’s completely safe for mission-critical or proprietary applications.
That includes some of the biggest companies in the world, admits HP cloud service gives applications ability to protect themselves
PaaSLane was created from Cloud Technology Partners’ origins as a consulting company helping large organizations prepare legacy applications for private clouds.
It’s a static code analysis suite for developers that looks at Java — and now, in the latest version, .Net and C# applications — for potential issues and make recommendations
It comes in two flavors:
PaaSLane Access, which is sold by the scan for each application, looks at whether it is “more or less cloud -ready” for a number of cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, Cloud Foundry — and now with this version Google App and Compute Engines — by estimating the development effort it will require for enterprises.
Consulting firms in the business of software conversion can use it as a pre-sales estimating tool, Grubin said.
–PaaSLane Optimize, for developers to help plan what’s required to change code for specific platforms. It integrates with some lifecycle management applications to check every build. It provides advice and suggested code changes for any problems. Will help those who haven’t written “cloud code,” Grubin said.
Through regularly updated rules changes it also helps applications meet platforms changes, he added.
PaaSLane Optimize is sold as an annual subscription. There’s also a 30 day free trial service.
