We finished the migration a month ago, we have now come up with a partnership with a local company (Labyrinth Labs) that is really good at this saas stuff and we have devised what changes are required in eramba to make this work, chiefly avoiding using files on filesystem … we build a redis functionality on eramba and we’ll soon enable s3 for attachments … once that is ready we will start testing eramba on a native saas environement
we have agreed with the partner to start the implementation on June … a few months of building and testing my guess is perhaps after the summer we might be ready for customer testing …?
we are on track ! in june the infrastructure will be built by our partner, we have made the modifications on the software that were required.
in july / august we will start taking existing enterprise customers that want to move to saas … a month or so later we’ll start offering the service to new customers
pricing wise we have no idea yet , it will be as cheap as possible
This sounds great and well done
Will existing enterprise customers be allowed to test it out before migrating and will there be an option to specify the cloud storage locations (UK/EEA)?
The infra is pretty much done, we are now integrating it with our backend systems for full automation. We are also starting to understand the cost components of the solution the and cost trajectory based on the number of customers we sign up.
dockers as default install (vmware is still there)
saas pricing announced
saas technical infrastructure details announced
new release of eramba (e3.16.0) that includes the functionality we need to migrate enterprise on-premise customers to saas automatically.
we will start testing saas with those current customers that want to use the service, we’ll give them a year (or whatever their license deadline is) for free.
we need a month or two of testing before we’ll let people buy saas.
