Hats off to Jelastic’s leading team
We all know the famous expression: “birds of a feather flock together”. This saying is perfect to describe the amazing group of people whose work made Jelastic the best Java and PHP PaaS in the world (in our opinion!). We wanted to show you who’s behind Jelastic so that you can see for yourself how it became the awesome platform you enjoy today.
Here’s a look at the headline acts:
Cloud hosting experts
Mark Zbikowski – Designer of MS-DOS
Mark Zbikowski, veteran Microsoft architect and developer, designed the DOS executable file format and was one of the key developers of Windows NTFS and Windows 2000/XP/Vista. However you feel about the Windows OS, there’s no denying the significant impact Mark’s prior innovations made. He began his career at Microsoft in 1981, working on DOS 1.0 as a designer, coder and liaison with IBM. His impressive career has also included significant involvement in OS/2, Cairo’s Object File System (OFS), and the NT File System (NTFS). Mark’s recent addition to the Jelastic team adds unrivalled technical expertise.
Introducing Apache TomEE cloud hosting
We’ve spent some time checking out Apache TomEE recently as we’ve added it to our Jelastic Cloud hosting platform. Although not as popular as other servers in the Java Enterprise Edition world, TomEE – pronounced “Tommy” – does a great job at delivering a fully operational, Java EE 6 Web Profile stack. It was founded by David Blevins, starting as part of the Apache OpenEJB project, and received the Java EE 6 Web Profile Compatible certification in Oct 2011.
