Morph Labs on Rails (December 2008)

Developing Web applications with Rails is fast and easy. Deploying, delivering, and managing Rails applications shouldn’t be any different.

Morph Labs, the leading provider of Platform as a Service, enables Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and businesses (small to large) to have a Ruby on Rails hosting environment without experiencing all the burdens associated with building a Web platform. With the Morph AppSpace (hosting solution for single applications) and Morph AppCloud (cloud hosting platform for multiple applications), ISVs and businesses can now have a managed hosting environment that’s highly available and scalable on demand at a fraction of the cost of building one. Deploy, deliver, and manage your Web applications now with Morph AppSpace and Morph AppCloud, and you’ll never have to think about system administration again. Learn More.
