Disadvantages: Skytap is less suitable for modern applications, focusing more on legacy systems, which can limit its appeal for businesses looking to modernise their IT infrastructure.
How It's Different: Skytap specialises in running traditional and IBM Power Systems workloads, offering a cloud environment that mimics on-premises setups. This is particularly beneficial for enterprises with legacy systems that need cloud migration without re-architecting.
Unique Feature: Skytap's ability to run legacy applications in a cloud environment without rearchitecting is a unique differentiator, providing a distinct approach compared to the tools and solutions offered by AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Getting Started: You must provide KYC and credit card details. A limited free trial is available, which is ideal for testing legacy system migration.
