‘LISTEN' TO WHAT SOME OF APPZERO'S FANS HAVE TO SAY:

It's a great product. It deserves to win. --Randy Bias Cofounder & CTO Cloudscaling

zapp is just what Managed Service Providers need to accelerate their customer's transition to the Cloud. --Ray DePena Founder and Editor, Amazon Cloud Journal

appzero's zapp migration tool is a great use of application virtualization principles for server and cloud apps. - David Greschler, CEO, PaperShare, Inc. and formerly co-Founder of Softricity, developers of the first desktop application virtualization platform

appzero enables seamless migration of applications from one cloud environment to another, virtually eliminating the IT project costs typical of application migration. --Louis Lovas, Director of Solutions, OneMarketData

appzero does in a few clicks what IT organizations typically have entire departments in place to do. - Dave Chappell, Chappell Consulting Corp & Author: SOA Infrastructure

appzero's rapid application migration services increase agility while decreasing cost and time to value. A powerful value proposition for both enterprise customers wanting to cloud enable their enterprise applications as well as for SaaS ISVs who want their cloud centric applications to be able to switch between clouds. --Lauren C. States, CTO Cloud Computing and Growth Initiatives, IBM Corporate Strategy

Cloud economics have run into the hard wall of moving production applications. Until now, the costs and level of effort required to suit those applications for the cloud have off-set projected savings. Automating that effort alters the equation of using the public Cloud as an extension of the data center. --Aberdeen senior analyst Dick Csaplar CEO
