(1888PressRelease) August 03, 2011 - GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com), one of the longest established Certification Authorities (CA) and specialist in SSL hosting solutions, announced a strategic partnership with leading cloud software provider OnApp (www.onapp.com). The terms of the partnership include integration of GlobalSign's OneClickSSL technology into OnApp's cloud deployment and management software, giving hosting customers easy access to automated SSL provisioning and reselling.

To launch the partnership, OnApp has included GlobalSign's SSL solution in its Cloud-in-a-Box promotion- a $25m giveaway available from OnApp at HostingCon in San Diego August 8-10 2011.

OnApp software dramatically reduces the time and cost of building a cloud hosting business. Hosting providers choose OnApp for its rapid time to market, low entry requirements and rich cloud management features, which now include instant deployment of SSL secure sites through OneClickSSL from GlobalSign. OnApp customers include Dediserve, eApps and VPS.NET, to name a few.

GlobalSign's OneClickSSL technology rewrites the SSL paradigm by moving away from the traditional, long-winded and error prone process of SSL provisioning and replacing it with an automated click to "Activate SSL" workflow, which is easily understood by customers of all technical abilities. OneClickSSL revolutionizes the SSL installation process to enable full SSL Certificate installation in under a minute and is available at a number of platform levels including cPanel, Parallels Plesk, IIS and Apache, thus offering hosting companies the most efficient way to employ SSL security ever available.

"OnApp is the only cloud software provider focused totally on the hosting market. We add value to hosters not only through the core functionality of our software, but also through partnerships with leading providers like GlobalSign", said Ditlev Bredahl, CEO at OnApp. "GlobalSign's OneClickSSL is truly unique in the way it optimizes the SSL reselling workflow. It's a natural fit for our hosting customers, adding real value by enabling them to automate SSL as an integrated part of their cloud hosting services."

"We are very pleased to enter into a strategic partnership with OnApp," said Motoo Noda, CEO GMO GlobalSign Inc, "Automating SSL through the OnApp cloud deployment platform is a huge benefit for hosting companies by eliminating the problems and costs associated with supporting SSL."

GlobalSign has been a publicly trusted Certificate Authority since 1996 and is currently ranked as the 4th largest provider of SSL Certificates worldwide by Netcraft - a position achieved in the last 4 years since re-launching as a focused SSL Provider. Since becoming part of the GMO Internet Inc group of companies, the company has opened local offices in the US, UK, Belgium,Singapore and China.
