Cloud Computing introduces a new architecture that might make it challenging for developers to migrate their existing applications. Intalio|Cloud solves this problem by making existing applications multi-tenant, elastic, and fault-tolerant, automatically. Since Cloud Computing is still in its infancy, very few standards exist, and developers looking for ways to deploy their applications on a wide range of Cloud platforms usually have to support multiple virtualization technologies (Cf. On Multi-Tenancy ) and multiple hypervisors like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Linux KVM, and Citrix ... Read More

Business requirements have changed, service levels are more stringent and every second of an outage could translate into millions of dollars in lost revenue. Classic high-availability (HA) solutions may no longer cut it as enterprise applications require fast failovers, often with sub-minute recovery times.

Lauderdale. “A cloud server is totally customizable and gives you access to run anything you want on a fault tolerant program, from web site hosting to file storage and beyond.”
