Installer Development
BitRock's installer development services are focused on packaging crossplatform desktop applications. Our developers have experience implementing a wide range of installation and configuration functionality, from checking for pre-requisites to capturing and transmitting registration data, to starting services. Because we have packaged so many different applications for all major operating systems, we are able to anticipate and prevent common installation errors, which streamlines the deployment process while ensuring your software is installed and configured correctly.
BitRock installer development services are billed hourly. To request a quote, use the form or contact information below. If you are interested in porting your current installer to BitRock technology, we also offer migration packages to allow you to quickly and cost-effectively get up and running with InstallBuilder.
Application Stack Packaging: Self-Contained Installers, Virtual Appliances and Cloud Templates
BitRock develops and maintains application stack packages for many of the leading open source companies, such as MySQL (now part of Oracle), Alfresco, SugarCRM, JasperSoft, Zenoss, Groundwork, Pentaho and many others, as well as for the BitNami project. Between its customer base and the BitNami website, BitRock-built application stack installers have been installed over 2 million times by users all over the world. As a result, BitRock's library of ready-to-bundle components such as Apache, MySQL, PHP, Ruby on Rails, JBoss, Tomcat and many others are battle-tested to ensure a smooth installation process for your users.
BitRock application stack packages are available as self-contained installers, virtual appliances and cloud templates (such as AMIs for the Amazon Cloud), allowing you to cost-effectively offer users a choice of deployment options. The installers, appliances and cloud templates include your software and everything that it requires to run and completely automate the configuration process for all of the bundled components. This allows everyone, including non-technical users, to have your software up and running in a matter of minutes, with no manual installation or configuration required.
