Jelastic was acquired by Virtuozzo in 2021.

History

Jelastic was founded in 2011 as a public cloud company. Initially, it was a Platform as a Service specifically targeted on Java hosting.[2][3] In 2012, the company received it to the Java Duke Choice Award.[4]

From 2013 to 2015, the platform added support for PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, .NET and support of Docker containers.[5] The latest runtime addition was in 2017 by integrating GoLang. In 2014, a private cloud solution was introduced, and by 2015, the platform could be used as a hybrid and multi-cloud service.

Jelastic closed a set of funding rounds from Runa Capital, Almaz Capital Partners, Foresight Ventures and Maxfield Capital.[6][7][8]

In June 2013, Jelastic announced the hiring of Mark Zbikowski, a former Microsoft architect and contributor to MS-DOS, as a senior adviser.[9] In July 2013, Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of PHP, joined Jelastic as a senior adviser.[10]

In November 2014, the creators of the Java programming language James Gosling and Bruno Souza joined the Jelastic team.[11]

In 2018, Jelastic received Duke's Choice Award[12] for the second time.

In 2021, Virtuozzo acquired Jelastic technology and business to offer First Full-Stack Cloud Management Solution for Service Providers.[13][14] The acquisition comes after a 10-year partnership between the two companies.[15]
