Cloudhouse™, a leading provider of Cloud-enablement technologies, today announced that it was named as one of three finalists for the 2013 UP-START Cloud Award for Best Application Platform.

The UP-START Award finalists - who are disruptive and next-generation cloud computing companies that are defining cloud technology - were selected by cloud industry experts during a 2-stage open vote. The final round of voting will be taken by attendees of the “UP Cloud Computing Conference” in Santa Clara on December 3, 2013. Winners will be announced after on-site attendees vote for the most outstanding cloud solution, measured by technical innovation, marketability and likelihood to be a market leader.

Sean Corbett, Founder & CEO, Cloudhouse comments: “We are delighted to be a 2013 UP-START Cloud Award finalist. Deploying existing applications into the Cloud is exceptionally challenging. Cloudhouse have developed an elegant solution to this modern problem with a technology platform that “lifts and shifts” any application to the cloud. This is achieved without product re-development or traditional remote access technologies and there is no detrimental impact to end user experience. Our customers enjoy all the benefits of a cloud approach including: consolidation of supporting infrastructure, improved agility, and reduced TCO but without requiring remote desktops or any software re-development.”
