Skytap brings self-service to hybrid clouds

Cloud services vendor, Skytap is looking to eliminate many pain points for those venturing into the cloud, says Network Computing.

The company has released a new set of solutions, which bring management simplicity and federation to clouds of all shapes and sizes.

According to Information Week, Skytap's new solution, Self-Service Hybrid Cloud, enables IT managers to create hybrid clouds by configuring network connectivity and security policies quickly using a Web UI.

The company claims its cloud automation tools will deliver cost savings of at least 70%. Some of the savings come from time-reduction and overhead savings.

Skytap enables enterprises to accelerate their transition to the cloud by reducing the complexity and time needed to set up and configure a hybrid cloud, writes Market Watch.

"Skytap's unique solution enables enterprise IT organisations to bring the full power of cloud computing to users with self-service simplicity, while retaining full visibility and control at the same time," says Scott Roza, CEO of Skytap.
