Cloud Computing: Next Buzz for On-Demand is AppStores
The success of the Apple AppStore — One Billion Apps sold to a base of 21 million iPhone users — has got people thinking about how to create an AppStore of their own. At recent conferences of Interop and the Enterprise Cloud Summit in Las Vegas, all the talk was about AppStores.
3TERA, for example, announced the 3TERA AppStore based on their cloud component AppLogic platform. The idea is to have pre-configured and pre-architected applications that are “cloud ready” to turn. The idea is to provide the platform of a virtual data center on top of which enterprise-focused components and applications will run.
Sun Microsystems has also announced their idea of a Java AppStore. Java users dwarf the size of Apple’s base of 21 million iPhone users. There are more than 4.5 billion computers and appliances globally which includes 2.1 billion mobile phones. Sun is calling their AppStore Project Vector and they intend to provide applications to users of Java and JavaFX technologies.
AppStores is definitely a new model for software and application delivery and it is a business model being carefully investigated by every
handset maker, operating system provider and carrier.
