The fact is the majority of core business applications were not developed for cloud infrastructure or architected for containers. Skytap Container Management solves these challenges by making it easy to lift enterprise applications into the cloud, modernize these applications with container technology, and then manage both traditional and containerized applications side-by-side." -- Brad Schick, CTO, Skytap Learn More Skytap is hosting, "Docker, DevOps, and Reality: A Panel Discussion" at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, April 19, at DockerCon in Austin, TX.
