But wait there’s more in Stackato 2.4

• “Skinnable” UI– OEM partners—particularly cloud hosting providers—can now

implement Stackato with a customized look and feel. For instance, the Stackato 2.4 Management Console can be “themed” with OEM partner logo, colors, and branding.

– Enterprise Customers can “brand” and embed stackato seamlessly as well

• Improved logging– Logs can be aggregated from multiple nodes to a central

location, and then forwarded to third-party logging solutions like Loggly, Papertrail, or Splunk.
