CliQr provides an application-defined cloud management platform that makes it easy and efficient for businesses to model, migrate and manage both new and existing applications from any environment to any private or public cloud. CliQr's CloudCenter platform supports more that fifteen (15) different cloud providers including Cisco Cloud Services. Using CloudCenter, users can manage the entire lifecycle of moving and managing one to many applications onto a variety of clouds in a single multi-tenant platform.
