Velostrata agentless workload mobility platform make it possible to migrate applications and their data to Azure quickly and easily. Velostrata uniquely decouples compute from storage, and streams only the necessary elements for an application to execute, enabling applications to run natively in the cloud in minutes, regardless of image size. Key differentiators include:



Velostrata is unique in several important ways:

  • Speed: Velostrata's unique real-time streaming means stateful workloads can be up and running in the cloud 100x faster than replication-based methods
  • Simplicity: Velostrata is agentless, and requires no changes to applications, images or existing management practices.
  • Safety: Organizations can test before they migrate, without taking production applications offline. They can also rollback to on-premises quickly, providing a safety net that reduces migration risk.
  • Scale: WAN optimizations including deduplication, streaming, and caching make it possible to move 100 VMs in parallel over modest bandwidth.

"The Microsoft Startup Roadshow takes the best and the brightest of emerging technology companies and provides a broad range of support to help fuel their rapid growth," said Ravi Narayan, global director, Microsoft Accelerators at Microsoft Corp. "Velostrata's unique product, combined with an experienced management team, make the company a perfect candidate to take advantage of all the Microsoft Startup Roadshow offers."
