Jelastic PaaS services are available through its partner Websolute, a South American hosting provider with spotless reputation.Very recently Jelastic launched free public beta in Sweden with Elastx; and Jelastic commercial version in Finland with Planeetta.

Three months of beta period have proved that Jelastic covers all sorts of difficulties common for this type of cloud hosting.The results could not have been better, Jelastic is on a par with the market’s leading solutions. We are absolutely sure that this product will be a success. – Luis Schedel, Director, Websolute.
“Since we launched our public beta in December of last year, we have already seen an extremely positive reaction from Brazilian users,” said Jelastic COO Dmitry Sotnikov. “We are very excited to announce Jelastic commercial availability in Brazil, with all its features and flexibility to host and scale complex Java and PHP applications, and now with full local service (in Portuguese!) from Websolute.”
Jelastic is generally acknowledged as a truly innovative cloud hosting platform: in 2012 it was honored with Duke’s Choice Award from Oracle, the so-called “Oscar of Java community”, thanks to unprecedented ease and convenience of cloud hosting. Instead of writing to specific APIs and adapting to platform constraints the developer simply chooses the necessary stack components and uploads the application. In a few minutes the it is up and running in the cloud. Minutes instead of hours – that is a real breakthrough in cloud hosting of Java and PHP applications.
