Not sure what edition of Stackato you should be using?
The Stackato Micro Cloud is perfect for developers working in a non-coporate environment, who want to deploy apps to their own Micro Cloud (desktop VM) or want to try Stackato on an Amazon EC2 Sandbox.
Stackato Enterprise is ideal for organizations developing on Micro Clouds, and then deploying those apps seamlessly on a hypervisor or IaaS, keeping their data internal, private and secure. If you're evaluating Stackato for your production environment, stackato-sales [at] activestate [dot] com (contact our sales team) to learn how Stackato Enterprise can help your business.
