What We Do
We believe that anybody can put an app in the cloud. But to make it automatically scale, port across clouds, and self-monitor its performance … now that is a tricky endeavor.
webappVM is a self-service, self-managing web application capsule that provides rapid deployment and integrated application management for cloud environments.
webappVM's integrated cloud control, lifecycle management, performance monitoring, and log management requires no integration or agents. webappVM supports Java, PHP, JBoss and Tomcat applications. It is available today to deploy, manage and monitor your applications running in the cloud. It currently runs on Amazon EC2 and the Rackspace Cloud.
webappVM is headquartered in Redwood City, just one block from Caltrain. The commute from either San Jose or San Francisco is under 30 minutes by train.
