8. JELASTIC PLATFORM-AS-INFRASTRUCTURE
Jelastic provides enterprise cloud software that
redefines the economics of cloud application
deployment, availability and management.
Bringing together the flexibility of IaaS and the ease
of use of PaaS in a turnkey package for enterprises,
hosting service providers and developers.

9. PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Jelastic technology is proven in high-performance environments across the
world. Our software is used by over 30 telcos, enterprises and hosting service
providers with over 120,000+ developer trials worldwide.

10. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Cluster

11. FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE
Jelastic supports and interconnects many standard solutions and stacks.
It’s like a bridge between applications for cloud automation.

12. FEATURE OVERVIEW
FOR DEVELOPERS
Any app deployed in
seconds with one-click
No code changes - no
proprietary APIs
Auto-scaling: horizontal
and vertical
FOR ENTERPRISE/OEM
Fastest time-to-cloud
deployment
Global app support –
new and legacy
Turnkey hosting
environment
FOR HOSTERS
Replication, high-
availability, security
Maximum application
density
Single point of
management
World’s first automatic
vertical scaling
$100 per month
per active server
Revenue share
per active customer
Only pay for
resources used
Choice of popular
app servers, databases
Instant load balancing
and scalability

13. APPLICATION MANAGEMENT
Application dashboard creates and
manages the application
environment
• application servers
• load balancers
• clustering and availability
• Keeps server configurations up to
date and consistent across the
environment
• Defines parameters for auto-scaling
applications
• Provides orchestration for
application deployment, patches,
updates and roll-backs

14. APPLICATION SUPPORT
Jelastic supports any standard application, without code changes.
There are no proprietary or complex APIs to code to – just upload and go.

15. FULLY ELASTIC SCALABILITY
Automatic scaling within a
server and across servers:
!
• “Cloudlets” (128MB RAM and
200MHz CPU) are dynamically
allocated to applications
!
• User sets minimum and maximum
cloudlet limits
!
• Jelastic automatically scales-up/down
and out/in on demand

16. VERTICAL SCALING
• During the load spikes Jelastic gives more resources
to an application (up to the predefined limits of a
virtual container) and takes them back when it’s
not needed anymore
Jelastic is the only platform that provides auto vertical scaling for different
applications

18. HIGH AVAILABILITY – CLUSTERING & STORAGE
HA Clustering features in
Jelastic:
• Automatic failover and
recovery of infrastructure
nodes
!
• Hardware and software load
balancing support
!
• SAN/NAS support and
“virtual SAN of local disks”
coming Q3
Jelastic’s Platform-as-Infrastructure is architected for high-availability from the ground up.
Hardware failover and recovery, SAN and local storage support guarantee uptime.!

19. BREAKTHROUGH ECONOMICS
• Significantly improved application density
reduces server requirements
• Ease of deployment and simplified
management lowers technical resource
burden
• Automated replication and availability
features virtually eliminate downtime
!
• Enterprise subscription model dramatically
lowers software acquisition and ongoing
costs

20. Magnolia CMS on Jelastic
Quick to set up new Magnolia environment - minutes
No changes to your Magnolia project are required
Cheaper than dedicated hosting - pay on demand
Minimum skills required - click and go
A dynamic CMS suits a dynamic hosting platform

21. Scalability & availability
Vertical scaling out-of-the-box
Automated public clustering is also possible
.. but requires a bit more effort
Setting up a (static) Magnolia topology is easy
We give 24/7 support to our Jelastic clients

22. Support for developers
Share environments (e.g. central dev/test Magnolia)
File system access using SSH
Jelastic REST API
Maven plugin and IDE support
Build nodes (Maven, Git/SVN)

23. Basic Magnolia Jelastic environment

24. Live demo
Create Jelastic environment
Deploy Magnolia project to Jelastic
Perform 1-click install using a Jelastic Package
Create database and configure Tomcat

25. Create Jelastic environment
Select Tomcat, Java and MariaDB
Receive emails with credentials
Increase max # cloudlets for Tomcat
Add jelastic.deploy@info.nl user for Maven deploy etc

26. Create the database
Open MariaDB web interface
Create magnoliaAuthor database
Add magnoliaAuthor database user

27. Configure Tomcat
Add MariaDB JDBC driver lib to Tomcat
Define JNDI database context

28. Deploy Magnolia project
Build Magnolia project
Check Tomcat log files for possible problems
Deploy your project’s WAR file
Install Magnolia

29. Resource usage during install

30. So what does it cost?
It depends..
.. on resource usage (e.g. # of visitors)
Minimum costs = minimum # cloudlets
.. on your topology (e.g. # of environments and nodes)
Realistic Magnolia environment: ~€100,- per month

31. 1-click install using packages
Create Magnolia author environment
Create Magnolia public environment
Also check out the Jelastic Marketplace
Or write your own!

32. Lessons learned
No changes required to your Magnolia project
Great for developers
Quick to set up with minimal maintenance
It’s cheap

33. Also worth mentioning
Suited for continuous deployment (scripting may be required)
You pay for what you use (it is a dynamic platform)
Automated horizontal scaling for Magnolia is possible (not easy)
Note: your website is public by default (but securing it is easy)
We think Jelastic is a great platform for Magnolia CMS

34. What’s next?
Magnolia licensing (pay-per-use cloudlet model?)
Upcoming Webinar - Magnolia cluster on Jelastic
Move to continuous delivery

35. So give it a try!
