Skytap: Going beyond IaaS

Dec 12, 2009 01:56

I recently started working for a local start-up in Seattle called Skytap. Skytap provides cloud computing solutions to businesses, and really differentiates itself in its offerings that go beyond providing just raw Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). Its key competitors are AWS EC2, IT Structures, Rackspace, GoGrid, Surgient, VMware and Microsoft Azure. It seems like a crowded place with so many competitors, but Skytap has been able to distinguish itself from its competitors by tailoring its offerings to specific customer scenarios and requirements such as Development & QA, IT Operations, Software and Sales Demo, and, Virtual Training.

With so many players in the market, the right question to ask is: are all clouds equal and ready for enterprise IT workload? This link points out top 10 reasons why Skytap’s solution is more favorable for the Enterprise IT workload.
