AppZero, the fastest way to move enterprise server applications to the cloud, has announced that it has been named to CIO.com‘s “10 Hot Cloud Startups to Watch” compiled by Startup 50 writer Jeff Vance. The 10 companies making the list were selected from a “top 25” list that was nominated to the Startup 50 blog. Factors in moving onto the final list were: the company’s standings following a vote, viability of product, competitive advantages and management team’s pedigree.There will be a new round of voting to rank the companies on the top 10 list.
According to Vance, AppZero made the list because, moving applications from traditional IT systems to the cloud isn’t easy. AppZero encapsulates an application and its dependencies in a “virtual application appliance,” without a virtual machine (VM). The result is an application that is flexible, “hypervisor-agnostic, cloud independent, and fast.”
