What We Do.

CloudGenera is an analytics startup focused on eliminating the barriers businesses face when attempting to leverage the cloud.

Our unique cloud analytics platform, CloudRank, coupled with our advisory methodology provides decision support for the cloud. CloudGenera specializes in the formation of clouds and dramatically simplifies and accelerates the decision making process. Using CloudAssist, our assessment solution, we guide companies through the exercise of evaluating and selecting a cloud delivery model and cloud service provider that best suits the needs of their applications — across on premise and off premise deployment options via private, public or hybrid operating models. Make informed and data-​driven decisions in minutes not months!

The CloudRank platform analyzes a combination of factors and dimensions to assess an application environment’s best cloud delivery model and provider, including but not limited to cost, application purpose, infrastructure, performance, availability, reliability, scalability, security, compliance, privacy and regulatory concerns. Our patent-​pending technology includes proprietary analytical methods and algorithms specialized for making a holistic assessment and recommendations for cloud computing deployment models.

History

Established in 2012.

The Team.

CloudGenera was founded in December 2012.

With collective decades of experience at powerhouses such as BEA, VMware and Salesforce, the founders experienced firsthand how companies of all sizes were struggling to adopt cloud computing, despite the clear advantages such technology can bring to an organization. They set out on a journey to create a company that could eliminate the barriers to adopting cloud computing — CloudGenera.
