The BitRock Virtual Appliance Build Service

Virtualization technology is changing the way software is distributed and deployed. With a virtual appliance, users get software in a ready to run, known to work package. No manual installation or configuration is required, which makes it easy for all users, including those who are not very technical, to get even complex software up and running in no time. Shipping a virtual appliance will enable you to support users across a wider range of operating systems while dramatically reducing the number of deployment-related support requests you receive.

While offering your software as a virtual appliance is important for growing your business, developing one takes time and expertise. BitRock has in-depth experience in working with leading software vendors to make their software easy to deploy across all operating systems. BitRock has partered with Novell® to offer SUSE®-based virtual appliances, giving you the option of shipping a Novell-supported SUSE Enterprise Linux appliance or a free of charge openSUSE appliance. Support for other base operating systems is coming soon.

Outsourcing the development of a virtual appliance for your software will enable you to offer users the option of deploying your software in a virtual environment without expending valuable in-house development resources. BitRock also specializes in creating self-contained 'stack installers' for all major operating systems, so you can cost-effectively offer users a choice of deployment options.
