Hosting of Alpha Anywhere Applications Just Got Better

Richard Rabins
More and more applications are being built with Alpha Anywhere (Alpha Five v12), and an increasing number of these applications are being used in high-volume situations. To meet this growth, we have been working closely with various hosting providers, especially ZebraHost, which is now hosting Alpha applications in a number of IBM owned and managed facilities worldwide.

Where can I host my Alpha Anywhere application?

Alpha Anywhere applications can be self-hosted, hosted by third-party ISPs and cloud services, or on the AlphaCloud when it is released. The Alpha Anywhere Application Server can be installed on any virtual or dedicated machine running Windows Server 2008 or higher operating System.

Alpha Software partners with ZebraHost - which does all of its hosting in IBM owned data centers

While there are many hosting providers that offer Windows hosting, we recommend ZebraHost. Below are 7 important reasons why they have earned our recommendation, and the trust of countless Alpha Software customers:

The Alpha platform is the only unified mobile and web app development and deployment environment with distinct “no-code” and “low-code” components. Using the Alpha TransForm no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language. IT developers can use the Alpha Anywhere low-code environment to develop complex web or mobile business apps from scratch, integrate data with existing systems of record and workflows (including data collected via Alpha TransForm), and add additional security or authentication requirements to protect corporate data.
