Virtual Appliances & VMcasting

Virtual Appliances is a founding member of VMcasting.org

Future releases of our Virtual Appliances will be certified to run in VMcasting environments.

We recommend the exploration of VMcasting for the deployment of instant infrastructure and applications.

Our nano-sized machines are perfectly suited for use in vmcasting since bandwidth and storage demands are minimal.

For example, our LAMP VA's archive is just 70MB. It can be loaded from the VMcast feed in less than 30 seconds. Unpacking takes another 30 seconds, and booting takes another 20 seconds.

Altogether, nothing to running a full featured LAMP appliance in less than 2 minutes on entirely modest hardware.
