Custom Installers for your Complete Application Stack

If you develop web-based software, chances are that your application runs on an open source database, application server, and language runtime. Your customers expect a user-friendly installation process. BitRock Custom Stacks provide a fast, easy way to install your software and all of its open source dependencies, in a wide range of supported platforms.

With a BitRock Custom Stack, your users will be able to have your software up and running in a matter of minutes. Your support requests will be reduced, and your developers will have more time to focus on development, rather than answering support emails.

Choose from virtually any combination of components and operating systems, and we'll deliver a Custom Stack that makes your software run out of the box.

Benefits

Reduced Support Costs: BitRock Custom Stacks are packaged with sophisticated installers that ease the configuration process. Common installation problems - such as trying to install using a port that is in use, or not having appropriate permissions - are identified during the installation process, ensuring your software is installed and configured correctly.
Dependency-free: All BitRock Custom Stacks are completely self-contained and relocatable, so they will not interfere with existing software installations, co-existing side by side with previous versions of Apache, MySQL, and so on that may be already installed in the system.
One Stack, All Distros: For each supported platform, be it OS X, Windows, Solaris or Linux, you will only need to distribute one installer. For example, your Linux stack and installer will run on virtually all Linux Distributions.
Production-Ready: BitRock Custom Stacks are ideal for evaluations as well as production environments.
