How much would you pay a month if you could one click deploy your Delphi VCL/FMX apps to a cloud server and access them in any HTML5 browser?

Seems like this would be a viable cloud service for Embarcadero (or another third party) to deploy via Thinfinity ( http://www.cybelesoft.com/thinfinity/virtualui/ ). They could either partner or buy Thinfinity and either partner with a cloud host like Rackspace/ServerIntellect/Azure or run their own servers. A simple Delphi IDE plugin could auto-upload the EXE to your server after the compile. Microsoft has a similar service called Azure RemoteApp but it doesn't appear to be accessible in the browser and it isn't one click deploy.

Roland Kossow I think VirtualUI's model is not right for the type of application. You would have to run 1000 concurrent processes to provide the same information to the same amount of users. In this case a traditional web app either with asp.net, node.js or even intraweb would be best.
ReplyDeleteRoland Kossow Is important to not confuse what VitualUI is for. VirtualUI is not, and doesn't pretend to be a web development platform. It won't compete with asp.net, jsp pages, node js, intraweb, etc. It just helps to move to the web a traditional Windows app. Not more but not less.
ReplyDeleteGustavo Ricardi Ok. Thanks for clarification, I was not aware of this architecture specific need for a process for every running application(session).
