ScaleXtreme is pleased to announce the official release of our cloud-based systems management product. This official release of ScaleXtreme, now in GA, is available in two editions:

ScaleXtreme Xpress

ScaleXtreme Xpress edition is a free version of Scalextreme that provides comprehensive cloud-based systems management for unlimited numbers of servers, with no time limit or expiration date. It is designed for small companies with fewer servers, or anyone interested in testing cloud-based systems management.

ScaleXtreme Xpert

ScaleXtreme Xpert edition is our professional-level subscription service. It lets you manage unlimited numbers of servers across multiple clouds; and provides the system control features needed to manage large-scale production environments. ScaleXtreme Xpert edition is available by subscription for $15 per managed server (virtual or physical) per month.  

Both ScaleXtreme Xpress and Xpert editions provide these powerful systems management features:

  • Server Management: Manage unlimited numbers of virtual and physical servers.
  • Automation: Schedule resources and automate routines across multiple servers.
  • Cloud provisioning: Launch Windows and Linux instances on cloud provider accounts.

  • Explore: Access and manage filesystem/Linux packages; run commands; browser-based command shell.
  • Monitor: Evaluate performance (e.g., CPU, Disk, Memory, and Network) via quick-zoom color graphs.
  • AppStore: Purchase essential, task-simplifying scripts published by our global community. (Java JDK, LAMP, JBoss, Django, Wordpress (Bitnami) -- more added everyday). Join our community and publish your own self-created scripts!
