Vancouver, BC, November 17, 2014 – ActiveState today announced Stackato 3.4 support for SUSE Cloud 4, delivering a readied solution for enterprises adopting Cloud Foundry on OpenStack for application lifecycle management and accelerated deployment. The partnership provides infrastructure services and platform services to meet the current and emerging needs of enterprise IT, growing in complexity and increasingly including hybrid cloud strategy.
