Atlassian Announces New Enterprise Hosting Service for JIRA and Confluence

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atlassian Software Systems today announced the availability of Enterprise Hosting Service for two of its premier products, JIRA and Confluence. The new service allows organizations to use Atlassian products without the hassle of installing additional software. Enterprise Hosting for JIRA and Enterprise Hosting for Confluence support clients of all sizes, and include a dedicated server and all the services needed for 24/7 customer support.

In 2006, Atlassian announced Confluence Hosted, a shared, multi-tenant hosting service for its enterprise wiki solution. Confluence Enterprise Hosting now fills the gap for customers who prefer not to host Confluence themselves, but who also want a dedicated hosting environment. Along these same lines, JIRA Enterprise Hosted offers all the bug-tracking, issue-tracking and project-management features of JIRA without the hassles of deployment and hosting.

The many advantages to using hosted services include:

• No upfront hardware or license costs
• IT services are included for installation and upgrades
• 24/7 customer assistance

Enterprise Hosting Services include:

• Dedicated (non-shared) instance of Confluence or JIRA
• Full global administration access
• Ability to create custom themes
• Integration with existing applications via LDAP, API access, etc.
• 24/7 service
• And the dozens of features that already come standard with JIRA or Confluence

Over 8,000 customers — including Fortune 50 companies such as Boeing, Citigroup, Hewlett-Packard, Kroger, Merrill Lynch, Pfizer, and Procter & Gamble — use Atlassian's premier software for distributed software development and collaboration.

Enterprise Hosting for Confluence and JIRA is now available. Pricing information and product and service details are available online at http://www.atlassian.com/hosted/enterprise.
