AppOrbit announced a new release of its modern application platform, which delivers seamless cloud-to-cloud portability, automated application modernization, and seamless network security.

The addition of networking and security capabilities to the AppOrbit platform allows each application to be encapsulated in a secure, independent Application Capsule that is decoupled from the underlying network and physical infrastructure. The Application Capsule operates exclusively at the application layer and contains application binaries, application data, and network configurations needed to execute simple or complex application environments. The Application Capsule approach is possible through the tightly coupled integration and virtualization of compute, data, network, and security containers.

AppOrbit provides a full suite of solutions to manage Application Capsules, including AppVizor, a robust management and orchestration platform; AppPorter, an automated modernization capability; and AppSwitch, a zero-touch networking and security solution. The new capabilities delivered by AppSwitch enable portable security policies, connectivity, and automated load balancing across the hybrid infrastructures, while being completely transparent to applications.

“With the addition of the networking and security capabilities of AppSwitch, our Application Capsule allows customers to rapidly modernize their business-critical enterprise applications to reduce expenses and improve operational efficiency,” added Rahul Ravulur, co-founder and CEO of AppOrbit.
