By enabling Managed Hosting and Enterprise Cloud customers to deploy virtual machines on Hyper-V 2012, Latisys is following through on its commitment to provide the choice and flexibility necessary to support today-s hybrid workflows while also being mindful of the cost pressures customers feel when licensing technology.

Nobody likes vendor lock-in.”
