The rPath integration with Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud (Cisco IA) marks an industry shift, as enterprises seek to fully realize the economics of cloud technology. Organizations have grown more confident with cloud IT infrastructure, but realize that antiquated methods for application deployment and update, such as golden images and scripted automation, will not perform in a cloud environment. To address this shift, rPath launched rPath Cloud Engine on October 17, highlighting how the software easily plugs and plays into any cloud technology stack to help cloud technology vendors and MSPs differentiate their products with bulletproof application delivery automation.
“If your cloud vision is limited to self-service compute, network, and storage on a shared resource pool, you’re not delivering what this business wants – applications. We call this an infrastructure cloud,” says Brett Adam, rPath CTO. “Add a self-service portal, a shared pool of applications and automation for all of it, and now you are talking about an application cloud that can drive business outcomes.”
