Unlike Google's AppEngine and Microsoft's Azure, StratusApp provides a framework independent of the cloud provider (no lock in). StratusApp is taking "Platform as a Service" (PaaS) to an entirely new level. Regardless of the operating system, virtualization, or database technology, StratusApp provides a holistic view to application development and execution, plus on the fly provisioning, scaling, and migration.
