Why a Private PaaS: from a Custom Software Firm’s Perspective

Just because something is "in the cloud" doesn’t mean development and deployment to the cloud is effortless.

Just ask W&K Systems, a New Jersey-based software consulting company providing custom applications in the healthcare sector. For them, moving to a private hosted cloud might have meant hours of compiling, configuring, and preparing servers. But with the move to modernization and a private cloud, they were also looking to avoid doing things the “old fashioned way” – which can cause migration and deployment challenges.

So to cut down on complex configuration of application middleware, so that their developers could focus on coding, W&K Systems began testing Stackato as a private PaaS platform. With automatic configuration of dependencies an application requires, they recognized that this could be a big time saver in deploying and migrating applications to a private cloud.

The result so far?

Hanning Musinguzi, founder of W&K Systems, said: "Stackato took all the pain and guesswork out of deployment because it automatically bundles and deploys everything seamlessly. I was pleasantly surprised at having an application up and running in 10 minutes!”
