SurPaaS MaaS is a fully integrated
platform that allows system integrators
and managed service providers to rapidly

customers’ enterprise applications into
the target cloud. The target estate can be
Azure, AWS, GCP, IBM Softlayer, Oracle CI

The power of the platform lies in the
fact that it can automatically analyse,
‘cloudify’, ‘paasify’ and, if desired, ‘saasify’
practically any software application without
programming. This enables organisations to
manage and execute their migration journey
to the cloud in a cost effective, accelerated
and optimised way, in line with their own
desired business roadmap. “We are excited
to start this partnership with eHDF as
it enables both eHDF and its customers
to capitalise on their cloud ambition by
guiding and migrating customer IT assets
to the cloud or hybrid cloud environments,”
said Feyzi Fatehi , CEO Corent Technology.
“Adoption of cloud is increasing rapidly in
the Gulf region as enterprises realise the
business benefits of better agility and a
reduced data centre footprint.”
