Applications built with Delphi and C++ Builder for the Windows platform have proven to be indispensable instruments for businesses, but rewriting them for the cloud is often cost-prohibiting. rollApp offers a cloud platform that can run existing desktop applications in the cloud without any need to modify them. At this webinar you will learn how to move your application to the cloud and offer the benefits of a cloud solution to your users in a matter of a few weeks.

cloud cased”

Worldwide Cloud 2017
Predictions
“By 2020, a corporate "no-
cloud" policy will be as rare
as a "no-internet" policy is
today … Cloud-first, and
even cloud-only, is replacing
the defensive no-cloud
stance that dominated many
large providers in recent
years.”
“By 2020, more compute
power will have been sold by
IaaS and PaaS cloud
providers than sold and
deployed into enterprise data
centers”

Opportunities for Providers
“Starting in 2017, large
enterprises will move to
cloud in a big way, and that
will supercharge the
market… the influx of
enterprise dollars will push
the global public cloud
market to $236 billion in
2020, up from $146 billion in
2017”

actually running in
the cloud, but
appears as if it was
installed locally
User gets as many
separate windows as the
app opens and can cycle
through them with
Alt+Tab or ⌘+Tab

14. Apps developed with Delphi already on rollApp:
• Apophysis
– Freeware fractal flame editor
– https://www.rollapp.com/app/apophysis
• Arena Chess
– Free GUI app for chess
– https://www.rollapp.com/app/arenachess
• Turbo Cash
– Open-source accounting software

15. • Move from one-time
upgrade payments to
recurring revenue
from subscriptions
• Explore cost-sensitive
market segments with
“pay-as-you-go” pricing
models
15

16. • No downloads,
installations or
upgrades necessary
to start using your applications
• Users always use the latest version
• Update process is transparent for the
user
16

17. • Only a browser is needed
to start using the app –
every modern platform
has that
• You can easily bring
your applications to
– Macs
– Chromebooks
– iPads
– Android tablets
17

18. • Readily available global infrastructure for
deployment to public cloud
• No need to install plugins or “receiver”
applications
• Applications work like other applications
installed locally and are not confined to
remote desktop viewport
• Cost-effective Linux-based backend, no
need for additional platform licenses or
CALs
18

19. • Linux apps
– Fast and easy
• WINE-compatible Windows apps
– Fast and easy
– Most Delphi apps are WINE-compatible
• Windows apps not compatible with WINE
– We can modify WINE to support your app
(usually takes from a few weeks to a few
months)
– You can modify your app to make it compatible
with the current version of WINE
19

20. • Public-cloud
– Applications are published using rollApp’s
global cloud infrastructure
• Private-cloud (Managed service)
– rollApp components will be setup and run on
client’s computing infrastructure
– rollApp employees remotely setup and manage
rollApp technology components on the client’s
servers
20

21. • Using rollApp public cloud
– rollApp logo/name will be used in rollApp-
specific UI elements (specialized toolbars, etc.)
within virtualized applications
• White-label solutions
– No reference to rollApp in applications
– Your logo/name in all places where rollApp
logo/name would appear in rollApp-branded
package

cloud for compatibility tests and
configuration fine tuning
2. Setup
– App deployed according to selected
deployment model
3. Production use
