Amdatu

Amdatu is a dynamic, open, Cloud Enablement Platform that offers the benefits of a (Cloud) Platform as a Service (PaaS) with a growing stack of (SaaS) services to reduce the time and cost of developing applications and making them operational without lock-in to a proprietary infrastructure:

• Open Source & Standards-based: Amdatu is built from predominantly open source components and all services communicate through a REST API and are deployed as OSGi bundles.
• Infrastructure Agnostic: The Amdatu platform support common deployment models, making it portable and independent of proprietary infrastructure.
• Dynamic Elasticity: Software Bundles can be dynamically provisioned to achieve real QoS (Quality of Service) standards.
• End-to-End monitoring: Full end-to-end monitoring of resource utilization with real-time graphic representation.
• Public, private or cloud-burst: Amdatu’s multi-tenant architecture is suitable to be deployed on a private cloud, in a public cloud or a hybrid (cloud-burst) environment.
