Morph Labs introduces new service for iPhone developers

Last Monday, Apple announced that more than 60 million applications for the iPhone have already been downloaded. At the same day, Morph Labs launched its new service for iPhone developers, allowing them to build applications and deploy them to the Morph AppSpace service, a fully managed environment for running web applications. Click here for a full read of this announcement.

With this new service, developers will enjoy the simplicity of running applications without the need to set up their own application environments. It only takes a few minutes to get an application running and ready to be submitted to Apple's App Store.

Developers also have the flexibility in scaling their applications to meet demand requirements. Let's take a look at how you can get started:

First, you can subscribe to a free developer plan to test out the service. All you need to have is a ready application. You get 1 cube*, 1GB of DB, 3GB of data transfer, 1 GB storage all for free. Click here for pricing information on Morph AppSpace subscriptions. What is a cube? Think of a Morph AppSpace cube as a place where your application runs and performs its job. Cubes are deployed on demand throughout our infrastructure at a moment's notice.

Second, you can go live with your application by simply adding credits to your account and choosing a larger size for your Morph AppSpace subscription.

Morph Labs handles all of the nitty-gritty details associated with deploying, delivering, and managing your application environment. You don't have to deal with infrastructure, so you can focus on building apps.

Now is the time to take advantage of the iPhone web application market. Feel free to send us an email at info [at] mor [dot] ph.

Olympic 2008 Commences, Morph Labs' New Office Opens

08.08.08 marked not only the beginning of the Summer Olympics in Beijing. Last Friday, Morph Labs (together with Exist Global and Global Gateway Venture Capital G2VC) celebrated the launch of its new home -- the G2VC Innovation Center in Manila, Philippines.

The celebration dubbed "Going for Gold" puts forth our tenet: bag the gold medal in our own "sports" -- technology and innovation, just as the thousands of Olympic athletes, who are bidding for honor and glory for their respective countries.

We invite you to take a look at some of the pictures below. And if you want to have an idea of how much we strive for excellence, you might want to read about what our customers are saying about our platform as a service offering.

If you have visited the site at Mor.ph, you may have read about this. It would be good to note that there are plenty of opportunities with our product and services and it's not just limited to developers who leverage the Morph Appspace for their Rails, Grails and Java web applications.

You, too can earn money by simply spreading the word about Mor.ph. Watch the video and learn how.

Morph Appspace Powers Web 2.0 Applications

Is there a person who isn't amazed by how technology just keeps making things simple and complicated at the same time? Well, you might say that it all depends on the person although basically technology, like in the case of websites and all web-related stuff should first and foremost be user-friendly. Right? But unfortunately, in most cases, it takes some geekiness to work things out but it isn't just in the domain of users. You might be surprised that geekiness also has levels and even tech persons or developers wrestle with a lot of things like deployment tools and configuration. Duh.

You may want to read about what Jim James was able to discover and leverage as a platform for his wonderful idea. His MyTripScrapbook (built ruby on rails, if you care) allows travelers to easily share their experiences with families and friends. It is not text-fancy but photo-fancy - just what a scrapbook should look like. Discover for yourself by signing up because it's free.

So, in case you have an idea for a web application or a site like Jim's, you may want to find out about Morph Appspace first and find out what real managed hosting solutions for Web 2.0 should be like.

Software as a Service for ISVs - Final

How many definitions of Platform as a Service (PaaS) have you come across with? Maybe you've read about Saugatuck's opinions or if you're a wiki-lover, you've read this. And definitely, if you've followed Morph Labs closely, you would have stumbled on this podcast or the three layers of cloud computing.

It is much a buzzword just as "in the cloud" is. In this post, how about we just give you analogies?

Analogy 1. You need transportation to get you from your house to work. Now, would you get an engine, a set of wheels and a chassis? You could assemble these into transportation, but do you really want to spend your time doing that? Do you have the skills to do it?

On the other hand, platform as a service providers offer you a car. You just get in and drive to work. Now apply this to applications. Morph Labs' value proposition is that our environment is ready to accept the application, removing the tasks of configuring/setting up servers, load balancers and databases. You could build a system on Amazon EC2, for instance to deliver a Grails application, but then you are spending your time building out the delivery platform. This also assumes that as a developer, you understand how to build out such an architecture to ensure that your applications are available, are backed up properly and are serviced over the long run.

Here is a link to Cleve Gibbon's article mentioning this analogy.

Analogy 2. Think of platform as a service as a fully serviced office. You just pick a package, move right in and get to work. You'll have a desk to work on, you're equipped with connectivity, and you'll even have people to help you manage incoming calls. In addition, you won't even have to think about facility maintenance.

So there you go. And yes, let me say this: don't take our word for it. BUT do hear out what our customers say about us.

Send us an email at info at mor dot ph if you'd like to know more about our services. OH! Here's a link to the webinar that I mentioned in the previous post.
