Attunity and CloudShare Form Alliance to Help SharePoint Users Accelerate SharePoint Cloud-Loading
Joint Solution Will Speed Time-to-Market of Critical Applications and Development Initiatives Throughout on-Premise and Cloud-Based SharePoint Environments
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts and SAN MATEO, California, October 18, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Attunity Ltd. (OTC BB: ATTUF.OB), a leading provider of real-time data
integration software and lifecycle management solutions, and CloudShare
Inc., a leading provider in cloud computing systems announced today an
alliance to accelerate time-to-market of deploying business critical
applications built on Microsoft SharePoint to the cloud.
The alliance couples Attunity's lifecycle management software for
SharePoint ("RepliWeb ROSS") with CloudShare's virtualized SharePoint Server
platform and templates. This solution will enable agile-minded application
development teams to quickly deploy CloudShare's pre-configured virtualized
SharePoint farms, and then utilize RepliWeb ROSS to rapidly "cloud load"
relevant SharePoint Solutions, Site Collections and incremental updates from
on-premise environments to the cloud-based environments. This solution will
allow organizations to shorten testing, QA and release cycles while invoking
best practices for Lifecycle management across on-premise and cloud-based
environments.
"We are pleased to offer an instant deployment bridge across on-premise
and cloud environments, allowing organizations to speed development efforts,
achieve an immediate return on cloud initiatives, and create a distinct
competitive advantage," commented Garrick Herrmann, Vice President of Sales
Attunity. "The rapid uptake of the Cloud makes this alliance a natural
extension of Attunity's core capabilities following the RepliWeb
acquisition. We are committed to providing our customers with solutions to
integrate their IT Infrastructure with leaders in cloud services."
"CloudShare cloud-enablement solutions have been helping SharePoint
professionals and enterprise users be more effective. Our SharePoint
Automation and Enablement solutions have become very popular within the
SharePoint community for quick and easy development, testing,
proof-of-concept and training solutions that are pain free, simple to
install and low cost," said Guri Stark, CEO of CloudShare. "Our partnership
with Attunity is another step in offering our SharePoint customers a more
robust solution that is based on providing automation and
SharePoint-specific content layers on top of the virtualized cloud stack to
make our customers lives easier and directly impact their productivity and
bottom line."
