Switching to Platform.sh can help IT/DevOps organizations drive 219% ROI
Organizations, the ultimate way to manage your users and projects
The power of continuous deployment is now available on the hosted infrastructure of Cloudwatt Orange Business Services thanks to the newly formed partnership between Platform.sh and Orange Business Services
A partnership with the cloud infrastructure solution Platform.sh
Orange Cloud for Business, Orange’s Business Services subsidiary dedicated to Cloud Computing activities, signs a partnership with Platform.sh to offer a second generation PaaS (1) based on the major technological innovation of Linux containers. The purpose of this partnership enables developers to completely ignore hosting infrastructure and systems operations, to focus solely on developing their applications and websites in a logical way that allows “DevOps” to give way to “NoOps”.
In approaching Platform.sh, Orange Cloud for Business gives customers agile application development capabilities, whilst ensuring safe national data location. As well as saving time, this platform enables customers to lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) by 30%.
Platform.sh, a service based on a major technological innovation
Through Platform.sh technological innovation, development environments can be created - which are perfect copies of production - on the fly, and in less than 60 seconds. This continuous deployment model allows site builders to deliver an ongoing flow of change requests, one by one. It is common for a Platform.sh project to have twenty pre-production environments running in parallel, delivering tens of new features into production each day.
The service is particularly suited to transactional web applications with heavy traffic such as major e-commerce sites. Indeed, it allows an organisation to become highly reactive to market trends and optimising revenue through fast updates to live, as well as seamless scaling with no application interruption to deal with traffic spikes. It also comes with an enterprise-level 24/7/365 support offering and 99.99% SLA guarantees. This partnership will enable Orange customers and their web agency partners to benefit from this innovative offer.
“We were attracted by the innovation of the Platform.sh solution and the dynamism of the team. At Orange Cloud for Business, we strongly believe in the use of cloud services to improve productivity and help customers focus on their core business. Allowing developers to focus solely on the code without worrying about infrastructure management achieves this goal.” - Philippe Laplane, CEO Orange Cloud for Business.
“Our goal is to reach many potential customers with our solution by relying on an efficient Public Cloud. By partnering with Orange we can both respond to data sovereignty requests within the European territory, whilst enjoying a strong commercial advantage by accessing the customer portfolio of this French group.” - Frederic Plais, Platform.sh President and CEO.
