Jelastic is a cloud services provider that combines PaaS (Platform as a Service) and CaaS (Container as a Service) in a single package for hosting providers, telecommunication companies, enterprises and developers. The platform is available as public cloud in more than 60 data centers worldwide, private cloud (virtual and on premise), hybrid and multicloud. Jelastic provides support of Java, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, Python, .NET, Go environments and custom Docker containers.

History

Jelastic was founded in 2011 as a public cloud. Initially, it was a PaaS specifically targeted on Java hosting.[1][2] In 2012 the company got Java Duke Choice Award.[3]

In 2013-2015 the platform added support of PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, .NET and support of Docker containers.[4] The latest runtime addition was in 2017 by integrating GoLang. In 2014, there was introduced private cloud solution, and in 2015 the platform could be already used as a hybrid and multi-cloud.

Jelastic closed a set of funding rounds from Runa Capital, Almaz Capital Partners and Foresight Ventures and Maxfield Capital.[5][6][7]

On June, 2013 Jelastic announced the hiring of Mark Zbikowski, a former Microsoft architect and contributor to MS-DOS, as a senior adviser.[8] On July 2013, Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of PHP, joined Jelastic as a senior adviser.[9]

In November, 2014 the creator of the Java programming language James Gosling and Brazilian Java Man Bruno Souza joined the Jelastic team.[10][11]

The platform configuration includes integration with billing systems like WHMCS, Odin System Automation, Cleverbridge or custom billing if required.[15]

Pricing Model

Jelastic provides pay-as-you-use pricing model within public cloud.[16] Resources are charged on hourly base: RAM and CPU (cloudlet resource unit), Disk space, External traffic, Public IP and SSL. The price for each resource unit depends on the chosen hosting provider and can be estimated on a monthly, daily or hourly base within dev panel. Cloud hosting expenses can be tracked and optimized using built-in billing details for whole account or specific application.

Private cloud installation is charged monthly on a license base per physical server. There are two types of licensing - for installation with further self-administering and for installation with managed services.

Partnership with service providers is built on franchise model with revenue sharing.
