Progress Rollbase Private Cloud is quick and easy to set up in almost any hosting environment: your own on-premise or co-located servers, third party managed servers such as Rackspace or OpSource, or cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) such as Amazon. We work with many customers and partners who require full control of the platform stack and data. With Progress Rollbase Private Cloud, you are in complete control.

Unlike the Progress Rollbase Hosted Cloud, the Rollbase Private Cloud is a self-managed platform. This means that you choose when and where to install updates and upgrades. While Rollbase is and always will be designed to shield your applications from any changes to the platform itself, you can still choose when those changes take place. Many Private Cloud customers test the latest features using a development environment in Progress Rollbase Hosted Cloud, as well as an installed development environment for testing the latest upgrades.

While competitors may charge large fees based on number of CPUs or other hardware configurations, Progress Rollbase Private Cloud is available for a simple monthly fee that adapts to the scale of your business and use of the platform. For more information about pricing and licensing, see Rollbase Pricing.

All Rollbase components are written in 100% Java with the exception of the Search server powered by the open source Lucene engine. The hosted Rollbase stack is powered by a 100% open source stack consisting of Apache, Tomcat, MySQL and Java. Rollbase can also run on most other popular SQL databases and Private Cloud customers can deploy Rollbase on OpenEdge, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server with minor modifications.

Rollbase provides a central management system which allows you to easily create and manage any number of tenants (i.e. customers) across any number of application and database servers. New tenants can be created and deployed in a matter of seconds, whether they are for internal use within your enterprise, or new accounts you are deploying for your customers. You have complete control over each tenant including number of subscribers, expiration date, number of allowed applications, objects, etc.

Similar to the Progress Rollbase Application Directory, Progress Rollbase Private Cloud comes pre-configured with your own app store. Any application developed within your private cloud instance can be published to your Application Directory. Applications exposed in this way are automatically available for other tenants to install, use and customize, just like any other Rollbase application.

Rollbase applications are fully described as XML and as such can be easily migrated from one Rollbase instance to another. For example, you can build an application on the Progress Rollbase Hosted Cloud and easily move it to your Progress Rollbase Private Cloud instance. You can just as easily move Rollbase applications from one private cloud instance to another. As in any Rollbase instance, applications can be selectively deployed to any tenant (i.e. customer) in that instance.

Progress provides an easy way to offer free trials for any of your applications. In this way you can build an entire self-service SaaS business using Rollbase as your foundation.

Create your own hosted cloud. As with Progress Rollbase Hosted Cloud, you can offer ISV and Reseller options for your customers to create, sell and manage applications on your instance of Progress Rollbase Private Cloud. Progress Rollbase provides all that your partners require to build, brand and resell their own apps on your Private Cloud instance.

Easy To Install and Configure

Progress Rollbase Private Cloud is relatively easy to download, install and setup. The entire process is documented in Chapter 18 of Rollbase In Action.

Progress Rollbase runs on an open source stack consisting of Java, Tomcat and MySQL. Each of these components must be installed prior to completing the installation of Rollbase. Note that Rollbase is database agnostic, meaning that you can run it just as easily with Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
