In this episode I talk with Jim Freeman, Head of Solutions at OnApp. OnApp provides a complete Infrastructure-as-a-Service (#IaaS) software platform for#hosting companies, cloud providers, managed service providers and telecoms companies. Service Providers can create a wide range of cloud, dedicated hosting, #CDN, DNS and storage services on top of commodity datacenter infrastructure; automate them completely through a central control panel. Jim and I discuss the early days backing Xen as a compute platform, the key partnership with VMware and OnApp's Federation service which is a true Cloud Computing Marketplace.
OnApp was founded in 2010 and is based the United Kingdom.
