Meet Javier Perez Griffo CEO of Tapp
About 4 months ago, our CEO Javier Perez-Griffo was interviewed by Silicon Valley Startup Accelerator StepOne, and talked about the Tapp project and how after visiting Silicon Valley we decided to open an office there ASAP. Seeing this video we can proudly say we have advanced quite a lot during this time and can’t wait to show off what is to come in the following weeks.
Tapp partners up with Rackspace
Tapp gets a big boost this week from Rackspace, one of the industry’s leading cloud service providers and an important part of the Tapp partner ecosystem, and we couldn’t be prouder! Rackspace has chosen Tapp as a featured partner on its Cloud Tools site (a showcase for the many diverse uses of the Rackspace Cloud) and highlighted us as their Spotlight Tool for the week.
Not only that, as many as you know, the OpenStack project is an open source initiative for the creation of private cloud infrastructures backed by many renowned cloud players, including Rackspace. Since this a hot topic for them, they have graciously invited us to write a post about this initiative on their blog, published under the name “Hybrid Cloud Infrastructures: Overcoming Management Hurdles”
Major updates in Tapp
We know that it’s been a while since we last wrote anything about Tapp in our webpage. Those of you who usually connect to Tapp have probably noticed a significant improvement in performance. The reason is that we have updated both our nonsql setup and parts of the Ruby on Rails framework we have been using. On the other side, we have also been working hard in the integration of private cloud initiatives like VMware vCloud, Openstack and Cloudstack. All these plus a little bit of magic in the UI part will be at your disposal after our next release next Friday.
Tapp partners up with Cloudsigma
In our never ending task of improving the multicloud ecosystem, we have signed a partnership agreement with Cloudsigma, which will help us improve the level of service to those of our users using their IaaS services. This is the first of what we hope will be soon a varied set of partnership agreements, so pay attention. To read the press release, please visit http://cloudsigma.com/en/about-us/press-releases/212
Tapp helps you keep high service availability on the cloud
We are proud to announce that starting tomorrow 18th February there will be a new functionality available at Tapp: Disaster Recovery. We have prepared the screencast below to show you what it is all about and how it works, but to sum up, this functionality allows for automatic backup and few-click service restoration of your cloud servers on another provider. For the moment the service will be compatible with Dropbox and Amazon S3 but next week we will be releasing other backup end mechanisms.
Happy recovery!
