SIOS AppKeeper Available in AWS Marketplace

SIOS Technology Corp. announced the availability of AppKeeper in AWS Marketplace.

Customers can easily try, purchase, and deploy AppKeeper directly from AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from ISVs that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS.

AppKeeper is a SaaS solution that continuously monitors and protects applications running in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud environments from system impairments and downtime while eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming manual intervention. When it detects a system impairment, AppKeeper automatically restarts OS and application services, rebooting the complete Amazon EC2 instance when needed. It can be used alone or to add recovery capabilities to an application performance monitoring (APM) tool.

“Today, IT teams are facing unprecedented pressure to deliver continuous availability of applications without adding significant cost or complexity to their environments,” said Masahiro Arai, COO, SIOS. “AppKeeper enables companies to meet this challenge by ensuring the availability of applications running in Amazon EC2 while eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming manual intervention. As an offering in AWS Marketplace, customers have the added convenience of being able to purchase and deploy AppKeeper with just a few clicks.“

“I feel that with AppKeeper, we are one step closer to an environment where I can stay calm even when too many people are trying to access our popular content,” said Yuichiro Fukabori, Hobby Japan, Inc., a publishing company that migrated to AWS in 2013. “The ability to enable a maintenance-free, care-free environment at low cost is AppKeeper’s advantage.“

“As our customers migrate more and more applications to the cloud, they are looking for flexibility in balancing the level of availability with costs across all of their applications,” said Chris Grusz, director, AWS Marketplace, AWS. “We’re delighted to welcome AppKeeper to AWS Marketplace and to provide our customers with more choice when performance changes occur.“

With this announcement, SIOS is extending its relationship with AWS. To simplify and accelerate the deployment of HA clusters in the cloud, SIOS HA clustering software, SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition, is available on AWS Marketplace.

It can also be purchased through SIOS MSPs and systems integrator partners. A 14-day free trial of AppKeeper is available.
