Take Existing and New Software Products to Virtual and Cloud Infrastructures
Learn what's new in InstallAnywhere 2012 and InstallAnywhere Cloud Pack
Virtualization and the cloud continue to deliver a myriad of benefits. For application producers, these technologies provide new mechanisms to deliver complex software applications, either as enterprise-ready virtual appliances, or as hosted SaaS offerings in the cloud. For your customers, these technologies can accelerate time to productivity, which improves first impressions of your software. To accommodate both existing and emerging environments, application producers therefore must continue to support today's configurations that customers still need and want – the physical, traditional on-premises installers – while also delivering applications as cloud-based offerings.
InstallAnywhere Cloud Pack* provides application producers with an easy, convenient solution to take their existing and new software products to virtual and cloud infrastructures.

Best Practices for Building Multi-Platform Installers
This white paper discusses the fundamentals of installation planning and how to manage installation projects according to proven best practices.
Success Story
"Using InstallAnywhere to build a single installation project that works for every platform we target means we don't have to waste time creating disjointed installer technologies with different, inferior technologies such as shell scripting. InstallAnywhere will continue to serve as our cross-platform installation platform. As Websense continues to embrace open source operating systems such as Linux, InstallAnywhere will serve as the only viable option for targeting such environments."
