ActiveState Stackato Private PaaS Now Available Free for Limited Production Use

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - Oct 9, 2012) -  ActiveState, whose software enables developers and enterprises to innovate from code to cloud, today announced that Stackato^®, the enterprise private Platform as a Service (PaaS), is now available free for limited production use.

"Stackato has always enabled developers to mirror production environments on their desktop machines," notes ActiveState CEO Bart Copeland. "Now those enterprise developers have the freedom to deploy their prototype applications in the actual production environment."

With this release, ActiveState extends the Stackato license to include deployment to production. Customers can now deploy the free Stackato micro cloud to a production server (within a 4GB memory limit). This will allow Stackato users to launch applications to the cloud and recognize the benefits of Stackato's flexibility and scalability without requiring a full product license. The free Stackato production micro cloud enables users to:

• Prototype complex applications in production while remaining in compliance
• Start with a small production PaaS, then scale up as demand grows
