Virtustream wants to move mission-critical legacy apps to the cloud where they’ll be 60% cheaper to run on-demand especially since they won’t have to be rewritten.
So it’s put out xStream 2.0, an update, which is supposed to move both web-scale applications and legacy applications to a public, private or enterprise-class hybrid cloud take your pick. Stuff, it says, you can’t do on Amazon.
It’s for the enterprise and solution providers.
For the effort they’re supposed to get enterprise-class security and compliance, application SLAs, consumption-based billing and our old friend cloud efficiency, pretty much the whole point of the exercise.
