For application providers that want to accelerate license growth, expand into new markets, and reduce support and development costs, rPath’s platform transforms applications into virtual appliances. Virtual appliances eliminate the hassles of installing, configuring and maintaining complex application environments. Only rPath’s technology produces appliances in multiple virtual machine formats, simplifies application distribution, and lowers the customer service costs of maintenance and management. rBuilder supports the Parallels Virtual Appliance format so that with no additional engineering effort ISVs can release their appliances for the Parallels Virtual Appliances Directory.
