I had blogged about MagCloud from HP some time ago. It enables you to print and sell magazines just by shipping them a PDF.

Magcloud.com

If your magazine consists of only text, you can use my xtopdf toolkit to quickly create your PDF for MagCloud. See my Bitbucket site below to download xtopdf.

Fotoblur has been mentioned as a MagCloud user for their new Fotoblur magazine.

Silverline from Librato

Interesting concept / product. Involves "workload virtualization" or application-centric virtualization. Have not dug into the details but it caught my attention because part of the description reminded me, very roughly, of HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) for HP-UX, a Hewlett-Packard product, that, IIRC, could let you set limits on the amount of machine resources (such CPU or memory) that a process or application could use. That was a feature, I had read, that was not common on UNIX till then, though it already existed on mainframes. And it seemed like a useful feature to help guarantee that critical apps got the resources they needed.
