Personal Edition: Friends and Family Features

The Personal Edition makes it easier for you to get your technology friends and family involved in your Elasticizing. And yes it is as fun as it sounds. If you like the hassle-free server creation capabilities of the Community Edition you'll love the increased freedom of the Personal Edition. We have added a complete set of sharing and collaboration features that make it easy for multiple users to work together using the Elastic Server Factory.

Great ideas get even better when you share them
Do you have a software project that you want to share with the world? What better way than creating an Elastic Server Site custom built to serve your users. Speeding adoption is about removing hurdles so people can focus on using the software instead of installing it. Alan Williamson (co-founder of aw2.0 Ltd., Java Champion, and cool dude) was one of the first to build an Elastic Server Site for his software project Open BlueDragon, check out his blog post about the experience.

With a custom Elastic Server Site you can make your project available on multiple OSs, multiple clouds, and multiple virtualization formats. The guys over at Razuna DAM also created their Elastic Server Site quickly and easily and are loving the flexibility it offers them and their users.

"The Elastic Server Sites feature allowed us to expand our application in a very easy and affordable way to all major virtualization and cloud environments," said Nitai Aventaggiato, the CEO of SixSigns and the lead developer of Razuna. "The Elastic Server Factory delivers and let's us deploy once to many platforms."

A quick personal walkthrough is all it takes, so sign in, upgrade, give us a shout, and we can help you get your Elastic Server Site up in running in no time.

When two eyes aren't enough
Whether you are working on uploading your software component to the Elastic Server Factory, assembled a fantastic server that you want your buddies to check out, or want to share editing rights of your newly created Elastic Server Site, the Personal Edition is the way to go. Sharing is easy and the Personal Edition lets you collaborate with up to 3 other users. It's always helpful to have another set of eyes looking over your ES content before releasing it to the public. Check out our Quick Tip video on Sharing to learn more about the collaborative features of the Elastic Server Factory.

One more thing... Production Elastic Servers
Elastic Servers assembled and deployed under the Community Edition are for development and testing only. What do you do if you want to move an Elastic Server into production? Upgrade your account to the Personal Edition. The upgrade gives you the rights to use 5 VMs in production (all internal component licenses remain your responsibility to the respective vendors). Production Elastic Servers assembled, deployed and ready to manage in minutes.

Happy Building!
