This announcement comes after last week’s news that they would be bringing Microsoft Edge to Android and iOS.
ZeroStack offers smooth migration path from Eucalyptus cloud environment to ZeroStack’s Intelligent Private Cloud platform
ZeroStack has announced that their Intelligent Private Cloud platform offers a smooth migration path from the Eucalyptus cloud environment, which is nearing end-of-life. While Eucalyptus required complex integration and maintenance, the ZeroStack platform will allow IT departments to implement a development environment with simple point-and click provisioning. Developers will be able to self-provision cloud resources and tools, which will take some of the burden off of IT staff.
“Some developers have been working with Eucalyptus for years now, but now they must move on,” said Kamesh Pemmaraju, vice president of Product Management at ZeroStack. “We offer the industry’s most sophisticated cloud-based DevOps environment that puts developers in the driver’s seat and slashes costs for IT infrastructure management teams. We welcome Eucalyptus users to the next-generation ZeroStack cloud platform.”
