-
Leading platform now supports multi nodes scaling on all middleware layers, automatic horizontal scaling of app servers, and a complete redesign of the Marketplace Jelastic, Inc., the first company that combined Unlimited PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) in one solution, announced today a new Jelastic version 2.5 with support for multiple nodes of different stacks, automatic horizontal scaling of app servers, and Marketplace expansion. Last month in version 2.4, Node.js was introduced to enhance Jelastic's multi-language PaaS capabilities. The polyglot platform also supports popular programming languages, Java, PHP, Ruby and Python (.NET will be available soon). Horizontal scaling of application servers has always been a distinguishing Jelastic feature, provided from the very beginning of its development. It allows users to increase/decrease the number of application servers their environment includes; in the case it is required due to the changes in an application's load. Starting from this release, horizontal scaling of application servers can be achieved not just manually but also automatically, with the help of triggers.

Jelastic automatic horizontal and vertical scaling gives the best option for innovative and legacy applications, and makes Jelastic the most powerful PaaS in term of scalability/elasticity. The current Jelastic release (2.5) provides the ability to scale not just the application servers, but all middleware stacks in an environment: - Database - Load Balancer - Cache instance - Elastic VPS All newly added nodes are automatically distributed at different hardware nodes, ensuring even more reliability and high-availability. "We are thrilled to announce a new version of Jelastic as it contains two of the most demanded features - adding multiple nodes of different middleware layers in one environment and automatic horizontal scaling of app servers. As a result, users can easily have several load balancers or databases together with multiple app servers and configure a highly available and reliable application in just a couple of clicks. Jelastic is the only cloud platform that fully automates the creation of complex environments for real enterprise applications that require clustering, high availability and scalability on different applicati
