While some PaaS offerings rely on user-based Unix security, ActiveState's Stackato is the first PaaS to bring lxc-based containerization to the HP Cloud, creating a more trusted, commercial-grade level of security to private PaaS deployments. To see Stackato working with HP Cloud Services, we've provided a short screencast. Watch the screencast. Read the blog post to learn more. Upcoming Webinar: Application Portability in the Cloud Date: Wednesday, Feb. 8 Time: 10 AM PT / 1 PM EST Space is limited so register now! The ability to move applications--for instance, from a private to a public cloud, or from one hosting provider to another--is a holy grail of cloud computing. But with a little planning, application portability in the cloud can be attained. Cloud-vendor solutions typically impose inflexible limitations, forcing IT leaders to commit to specific hypervisors, infrastructure, and APIs. That reliance on vendor-specific technology can prevent organizations from realizing the full benefits of the cloud: reduced costs, greater efficiency, on-demand scaling, disaster recovery, and deployment flexibility. In this webinar, we'll share insights and trends to help your organization avoid vendor lock-in and easily move applications from one cloud to another without major re-engineering. We will highlight: Why portability matters in private & public clouds Understanding & identifying your applications' cloud dependencies Emerging trends & issues affecting cloud application portability Creating a cloud strategy optimized for portability Choosing a technology stack for portability Implementing a portable cloud strategy with PaaS Spaces are filling up quickly. Register now to reserve your spot.
