Application developers have always wondered…

• “What is the ‘hand-off’ path to running in the cloud once I’ve coded, built and tested my application?”
• “How can I see my application run in a production environment?”
• “How will it be maintained and patches managed?”

The CollabNet TeamForge – VMware Studio combination delivers applications as virtual appliances to provide an on ramp to production environments in public and private clouds.

• Develop: The application creation process (code, build, test) is done through CollabNet TeamForge - the most advanced, web-based, Application Lifecycle Management platform. VMware Studio packages these applications as virtual appliances.
• Distribute: Publish your virtual appliances to the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace. With more than a 1000 listed virtual appliances, it is the industry’s premiere, online destination for finding, evaluating, and purchasing applications that can then be deployed or hosted in a cloud.
• Deploy: These virtual appliances provide an enhanced user experience by inherently leveraging advanced capabilities of VMware Infrastructure such as High Availability, Distributed Resource Scheduler, VMotion.
• Manage: VMware Studio integrates with VMware Update Manager for automated patch and updates to your customers.
