We are very happy to announce the availability of Fura in the Cloud. Fura in the cloud will allow you to use all the functionality of the enterprise editions of Fura in a pay per use basis. So, start using Fura can be done at really low cost. Remember you also have two Fura Enterprise Editions: FCEE released under commercial license and FOEE released under GPL license. If you prefer bleeding-edge functionality instead of production-ready stability, consider visiting the Fura project.

Fura Enterprise Fura Project Fura in the Cloud

Fura Enterprise E­di­tion comes in two ver­sions: Fura Com­mer­cial En­ter­prise Edition (FCEE) and Fura Open En­ter­prise Edi­tion (FOEE). FCEE is re­leased under a com­mer­cial EULA and is for com­panies that want value-added services and/or prefer not to use open source products or release the source code of their developed plug-ins and connectors. FOEE is GPL licensed but com­ple­mented with Support Maintenance, Training, and Development Support Serv­ices.

Based on the same tech­no­lo­gy, but with a different en­vi­ron­ment in mind, the Fura open-source project is ad­dress­ed to de­vel­op­ers, and, thus, its focus is on bleeding-edge tech­nol­o­gy, not on stability. Fura is GPL licensed, and as such, the source code and the freedom to modify it are provided, but because of the nature of GPL, any plug-in or connector developed to work with Fura open source must be also distributed under the GPL license.

If you do not want to in­vest, own, and main­tain hard­ware but need an IT in­fra­struc­ture to run grid-enabled ap­pli­ca­tions, Fura can be deployed on a computing cloud, which provides the computing capacity and allows scalability, up or down, as your requirements change. So far, it has been deployed and is hosted on Amazon's EC2 and is offered as Software as a Service (SaaS).
