“Virtustream continues to drive innovation in the cloud market by effectively addressing the diverse needs of enterprises,” said Torsten Volk, research director at EMA. “Companies that are moving mission-critical applications to the cloud must meet stringent business demands, and vendors such as Virtustream are making this possiblewith solutions that deliver a secure, compliant and flexible cloud environment.”
According to the EMA RadarTMPrivate Cloud Platforms report, “Virtustream’s radically SLA- and compliance-driven approach to cloud promises a rapid ROI, as it enables customers to immediately migrate business critical legacy workloads to the cloud. Typically, organizations ‘start small’ by moving lower value applications to the cloud first, to avoid potential business disruption. Virtustream’s core value proposition is to eradicate exactly this risk, helping customers realize the maximum benefit from their cloud almost instantaneously.”
