For most Stackato customers, this means their own privatecloud, whether on-premise or a hosted virtual privatecloud (or even a combination of both as a hybrid cloud setup).
The typical migration path for this cohort of apps is to first place them on an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform, which at first will typically be on-premise for control purposes, but can then be migrated to a hosted(private) or public cloud later.
The county is also using SPSS predictive analytics software, Cognos business intelligence software, i2 Intelligent Law Enforcement solution, a privatecloud system on zLinux hosted on an IBM System z mainframe and IBM PureFlex System.
Privatecloud solutions whether on premise in your own datacenter or off premise (hosted by a partner) hold the promise of delivering even greater opportunities for efficiency with improved IT automation, elasticity of resources, and deeper capabilities for tracking usage.
