TransCirrus

Cloud computing is supposed to make things better. It should be flexible, convenient, and cost-effective. It should empower people to be able to build their own compute environments precisely when they need them. The reality of private cloud computing today is that it can be a pain. Setting up and managing the typical cloud environment is time-consuming, complex, and costly. It generates too much work for administrators, and it is still not sufficiently responsive to user needs. Our founders experienced that pain firsthand, and they knew there had to be a better way. They started TransCirrus to build the solution. We are replacing pain and effort with simplicity, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and user empowerment. We’re making good on the promise of private cloud.
