ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MacStadium, the industry-leading private Mac cloud provider enabling enterprise macOS workloads, today announced the extended availability of Orka Cluster 3.2, establishing the market’s first enterprise-grade macOS virtualization solution available across multiple deployment options. This breakthrough release enables organizations to deploy Orka on AWS, within MacStadium's private cloud, or on-premises in their own data centers, delivering unprecedented flexibility for enterprise mobile app development.

Additionally, according to a 451 Research and Oracle study, 98% of Fortune 500 companies are using or planning to use multiple cloud providers for core business software, highlighting the need for flexible, scalable infrastructure.

With Orka Cluster 3.2, enterprise development teams can now choose the deployment model that best suits their needs:

• On AWS: Leverage AWS resources while maintaining the benefits of Orka’s macOS virtualization.
• On MacStadium’s Private Cloud: Access secure, scalable Mac infrastructure managed by MacStadium.
