Reduce and Simplify Your Application Stack. In a typical application, either run in a traditional datacenter or colocation facility, you’re paying for the application itself, the underlying OS, hypervisor, storage, servers or VMs, SAN, networking, power, and so on. Reducing costs at the application level are very impactful.
