VANCOUVER, BC -- (Marketwire) -- 04/17/12 -- ActiveState, whose software enables developers and enterprises to innovate from code to cloud, today premiered its first animated short film. The video showcases Stackato, the application platform for creating a private PaaS using any language, on any stack and on any cloud.

"This is a fun way to introduce Stackato to developers and enterprises," says Toph Whitmore, Vice President of Marketing at ActiveState. "Viewers will smile and I hope laugh! But more importantly, they will 'get' private PaaS and they will get how Stackato makes moving to the cloud fast, easy and awesome."

Using wry humor, witty tone and playful animation, the two-and-a-half-minute short chronicles the adventures (and misadventures) of Carl, Ned and Cynthia -- a developer, DevOps lead and CIO, respectively -- as they confront the hard realities of implementing cloud computing in the enterprise. Carl codes, then recodes, and then recodes again, all in a futile effort to get his mission-critical apps to work in the cloud. Ned struggles mightily to maintain uptime while frantically provisioning new cloud infrastructure. Cynthia watches her costs climb as her team works twice as hard to achieve pre-cloud productivity levels.

But then the trio discovers Stackato, the private-PaaS solution from ActiveState that makes moving to the cloud fast, easy and awesome. With Stackato, Carl develops his cloud apps in the language that's right for him. Ned now deploys apps in minutes, not weeks. And Cynthia finally sees ROI... and ultimately, the promise of the cloud delivered.

"Organizations moving to the cloud face daunting development, operational and management challenges," notes ActiveState's Whitmore. "Carl, Ned and Cynthia each put a human face to those challenges, and it is great to see them succeed with Stackato."

ActiveState will show the video at this week's Cloud Fair Conference in Seattle (http://www.cloudfairconference.com). The conference also features ActiveState's cloud evangelist, Diane Mueller, who will speak on Thursday, April 19th about how enterprises can achieve application portability in the cloud.
