Cherokee Market: The first Market for Web Applications is launched
Feb. 22, 2011 -- Madrid, Spain
The first marketplace for server-side Web applications was announced today by Octality S.L. The Cherokee Market is a completely new distribution channel of software and services for Web infrastructures.
Nowadays, the Web is the heart of the Internet, ever-growing in relevance and importance. Marketplaces have had a huge impact on their platforms. The Cherokee Market is the first one targeting the biggest platform of all, the World Wide Web.
The Cherokee Market rests on the shoulders of the Cherokee Web Server, an Open Source, Enterprise grade Web infrastructure software that supports Java, PHP, .NET, Python, Ruby, Perl, and every other major web technology.
This new channel will impact how Web developers and consumers interact, and will bring a number of benefits to all parties involved.
For web infrastructure owners
Complex deployments that required hours of work are performed in seconds through an easy and powerful point & click graphical interface. Seamless, safe, and optimized for maximum performance.
Since Octality takes care of packaging the applications, those are always deployed in the most optimal way, and the performance of the web infrastructure is always exceptional.
For Web developers
The marketplace brings a simplified set-up user experience by providing ready to go, out of the box deployments with a significantly lower entry point for their customers.
Web developers can now monetize their products. The marketplace is a highly effective solution to commercialize software and services, putting aside the need to establish a distribution and sales infrastructure. Cherokee Market allows developers to focus on their products and grows the user base for them, having every user of the Cherokee platform as potential customer.
This cross-cloud technology solution supports a wide range of platforms: Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, and FreeBSD. A “buy once, deploy everywhere” experience. Native Windows versions are expected by Summer of 2011.
Cherokee Market is the first of its kind. “Cherokee Market is a game changer technology that reduces deployment complexity while providing an unmatched distribution channel for Web developers - one of the widest and most relevant technical fields nowadays”, said Alvaro Lopez Ortega, CEO of Octality.
