Makara offers an application management tool for virtual environments that sits on top of the hypervisor and under the application stack, making it flexible and easy to port across cloud and virtual environments. CEO Isaac Roth and CTO Tobias Kunze Briseno compare their approach to a “capsule” that encloses the application, allowing developers to provision apps across clusters or even move between cloud providers.
Makara says its Cloud Application Platform supports Java, Flex, PHP, JBoss and Tomcat applications, and can run on Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, Terremark vCloud Express, VMware ESX, VMware Workstation, VirtualBox and Xen.
