LONDON and SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in
open source enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, and RightScale®, Inc., the leader in
cloud computing management, today announced the availability of a joint
solution that speeds deployment time and automates scaling of Alfresco
software in the cloud. Utilizing RightScale's software-as-a-service (SAAS)
cloud management platform, it is now even easier for content management
software (CMS) users to implement, manage and scale Alfresco's open source
ECM solution in the cloud.

RightScale's cloud management platform enables organizations to deploy
Alfresco open source ECM in minutes and easily create a fully-configured,
fault-tolerant and load-balanced Alfresco cluster using RightScale
ServerTemplates. Alfresco cloud deployments on RightScale can automatically
scale to meet the needs of Alfresco ECM customers, which can vary widely
depending on the number of projects, the number of people working on each
project and users' geographic locations. By automatically and dynamically
growing and reducing the number of servers on the cloud with RightScale,
Alfresco customers can reduce costs, only paying for the system usage as
needed, while maintaining system performance.
"More and more of our enterprise-level customers are taking advantage of
the cloud environment, and we are well-positioned to continue to expand
capabilities in this area," said John Powell, CEO and Co-founder, Alfresco
Software. "Our partnership with RightScale builds on Alfresco's existing
foundation as a flexible, scalable and low-cost solution and will further
streamline the process of building complex architectures around Alfresco in
the cloud."
"Alfresco shares our vision of driving the expansion and delivery of new
capabilities in the cloud," said Michael Crandell, RightScale CEO.
"RightScale brings automation, increased IT control and visibility to
Alfresco users, who understand the advantages of creating and deploying
open source ECM solutions in the cloud."
Alfresco and Rightscale will be hosting a webinar on January 12, 2010 to
demonstrate this solution. For more information and registration, visit:
