DENVER, CO – December 2, 2009 Stratavia (www.stratavia.com), the leading provider of enterprise database and application server automation, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement with Hostway Corporation, the Global Web Services Leader, to be one of the first partners under its "Automation by Stratavia" Program. The Automation by Stratavia Program will enable Stratavia's partners to deliver a series of cloud-based service offerings that will simplify complex administration of database and application server technologies for small to medium size enterprise customers.

Through the partnership with Hostway Corporation, Stratavia's patented, industry analyst endorsed automation solutions will be delivered to a significantly larger audience under an easy-to-use, self-service SaaS model that for the first time allows critical daily maintenance tasks to be performed without the need for highly skilled, high cost internal IT resources.

“We are constantly striving to lower the cost and increase the effectiveness of hosted infrastructure solutions," said Todd Benjamin, Director Enterprise Hosting, at Hostway Corporation.

“We are excited to team with Hostway under the Automation by Stratavia Program," said Thor Culverhouse, President and CEO, Stratavia. "Our partnership with Hostway will broaden Stratavia's footprint in the cloud and further validates our position as the leader in database and application enablement for both private and public clouds.”
