Irvine, Calif. and LONDON, June 11, 2008 – Endeavors Technologies, the pioneer in application streaming and virtualization technology, and its parent company, Tadpole Technology plc, today announced the Software as a Service “SaaS” Starter Kit. The kit provides resellers and service providers with a complete and integrated platform that includes the essential resources they need to launch SaaS offerings and offer associated infrastructure services to their customers.

 

Endeavors’ SaaS Starter Kit is designed to enable channel partners to rapidly launch a SaaS platform and offer services within days, or even hours using the Application Jukebox application virtualization and streaming software. It provides the technical capabilities and a robust architecture to stream applications on-demand and manage the support of many thousands of users per server with built-in contingency provisioning, sizing, scalability and recommended bandwidth.

 

The SaaS Starter Kit highlights include:

 

“With the Endeavors SaaS Starter Kit, channel partners are able to expand their current offerings to their customers with complementary SaaS solutions,” said Peter Bondar, CEO of Endeavors Technologies. “We recognize that many value-added resellers, service providers and consulting firms are looking to take advantage of the fast growing SaaS market but lack sufficient development knowledge. The SaaS Starter Kit is a ‘ready-to-go’ infrastructure platform designed to enable the rapid creation, update and management of feature-rich SaaS services. This is a natural progression to support the development of our channel partners.”
