CloudBolt Offers Freemium Cloud Mangagement Software to Government and Commercial Customers
Could the Government be the next adopter of a freemium cloud management software? The article discusses CloudBolt’s strategy to offer CloudBolt Command and Control (C2) free for organizations with less than 100 virtual machines. CloudBolt believes that C2's functionality along with its ease of installation and configuration matches well with the freemium model. Ultimately, the model has worked well when properly implemented in the commercial space, and CloudBolt is all about lowering the barriers to adoption for both government and commercial customers. CloudBolt C2 brings immediate value to small virtualized environments as well as large enterprise heterogeneous environments. The Upstart article also highlights that CloudBolt C2 integrates with and enhances granular control tools such as Opsware (HPSA) as well as evolving cloud frameworks such as CloudStack and OpenStack.
