workloads in multi-cloud environments. During the development period they ran into the same roadblock that Cloudtools customers encounter every day: the time-consuming and difficult task of moving a virtual machine from one environment to another. Virtual Machine movement has been next to impossible yet it is a problem affecting any administrator who has a need to move to a different virtualization platform.

We had an advantage when it came to dealing with this roadblock: our development team was dev-ops focused. We had developers who approached this problem with a deep understanding of the operational aspects of virtualization, and had first-hand experience dealing with real-world virtualization problems such as moving VMs. At this point we decided to solve the movement problem once and for all.

This is when we formed Cloudtools and created Shift, the drag and drop solution that lets you move any virtualized machine from anywhere to anywhere. Shift is our first product to market that helps to solve the tough problems faced by cloud and virtualization administrators every day. Whether you need a tool that lets you switch to AWS, switch to Hyper-V, switch to Azure or you are having problems or issues with VMware or just want to move to the cloud, Cloudtools has developed the solution to help you.

At Cloudtools, our mission is simple: We make tools that let IT professionals spend a few minutes handling tasks that would otherwise take hours or days.
