"CloudSoft has a long standing history with the Apache CloudStack platform, delivering the write once, run anywhere promise to application developers and cloud users through their AMP platform," said Peder Ulander (Vice President of Product Marketing for Cloud Platforms, Citrix). "Eliminating cloud lock-in through intelligent API abstraction and application management is of great interest to our customers. We are excited to be engaged with CloudSoft and look forward to demonstrating our joint successes at Citrix Synergy this year."

Cloudsoft's Application Management Platform radically simplifies the development and implementation of sophisticated policies designed to manage complex enterprise applications in a multi-cloud environment. It is built with open source software that, like CloudStack, is governed by the enterprise-friendly Apache License 2.0.

"Fundamentally, our multi-cloud application management platform allows enterprises to use cloud, without losing control," said Duncan Johnston-Watt (CEO & Founder, Cloudsoft). "Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Alcatel-Lucent we've been able to leverage jclouds support for CloudStack and offer this to our customers."

Unlike alternatives that focus on managing the underlying infrastructure, Cloudsoft's Application Management Platform operates with an application-centric focus, using policies and an understanding of what the application requires, to drive infrastructure to exactly meet those needs - dynamically and in real-time.

Features include enforcing jurisdictional constraints as well as ensuring compliance with business and service policies, for example, SLA's, cost controls, QoS, application priorities and preferred service providers.
