Aras in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

Amazon EC2 Provides Cloud-based Option for Enterprise Open Source PLM Reducing IT Infrastructure Cost, Maintenance and Administration.

Andover, MA, October 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Aras®, the leading enterprise open source Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solution provider, today announced that the Aras Innovator® suite has been deployed in the Amazon (NasdaqGS: AMZN) Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) by Aras partner Prodeos, an expert PLM systems integration provider. Aras on Amazon EC2 provides the ability to instantly run the complete enterprise PLM solution suite in the cloud without any up-front capital expenses for hardware and software or the hassles of IT infrastructure provisioning as the deployment scales up.

Amazon EC2 is a cloud-based service that provides resizable compute capacity while fundamentally changing the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Designed to make web-scale computing easier, Amazon EC2 provides the ability to obtain and configure capacity easily for complete control of computing resources - enabling capacity to quickly scale up or down in a matter of minutes - while running PLM business applications in Amazon’s proven computing environment.

“This is one of many concrete examples of how Aras is leading the PLM industry in delivering a cloud-ready PLM platform,” said Peter Schroer, President of Aras. “Running Aras in Amazon EC2 is ideal for global companies that want to evaluate, test and pilot our PLM solutions. Additionally, anyone that is looking to avoid the purchase and administration of IT infrastructure, especially midsized enterprises, may find that Amazon’s reliability and cost structure are well suited for full scale production.”
