Pivotal changes hybrid cloud game

Adds one-click Amazon Web Services integration and bundled managed capacity.

Pivotal will provide supported access to Pivotal Web Services, which includes cloud infrastructure, to enterprise subscription customers of Pivotal Cloud Foundry, the company’s cloud native application platform. Pivotal Cloud Foundry now includes one-click Amazon Web Services (AWS) installation integration, delivering Amazon customers the simplest path to their own dedicated Cloud Foundry platform on AWS. With today’s news, the industry’s fastest growing open source product ever extends its hybrid cloud offering with enterprise integration for hosted, public, and private clouds.


“With the latest Pivotal Cloud Foundry release, Pivotal becomes the first major middleware vendor to include managed public cloud capacity in a software subscription at no additional cost,” said James Watters, vice president and general manager, Cloud Platform Group at Pivotal. “By offering hosted public cloud along with dedicated self-install on either public or private clouds, Pivotal Cloud Foundry provides the instant-on affordable capacity Line of Business (LOB) executives need with the robust security and automation features IT can also bring to private clouds. With today’s release, LOB and IT can finally agree on a single platform.”


LOB executives have championed the use of Pivotal’s hosted services, often in combination with Pivotal Labs agile development, to quickly deliver new digital products. IT executives value Pivotal Cloud Foundry’s ability to also run on private infrastructure. With our new hybrid cloud ready subscriptions LOB developers can start immediately on AWS while their private cloud build-outs complete, or run there entirely.


Today’s release also brings AWS virtual appliance support for Pivotal Cloud Foundry. With this feature, AWS customers can now natively deploy Cloud Foundry applications in hours on their AWS infrastructure. This complete hybrid architecture lets operators migrate Cloud Foundry applications freely between on-premises infrastructure and the cloud, regardless of their underlying infrastructure.

Today, Pivotal customers can setup Pivotal Cloud Foundry under their own AWS account, or let Pivotal manage an AWS instance on their behalf by taking advantage of our new Pivotal Web Services with Enterprise Support. The new edition of Pivotal Cloud Foundry offers hosted application instances under a customer’s existing license at no extra cost. Pivotal Web Services is ideal for rapid deployments and avoids the administrative overhead of managing a public cloud infrastructure.
