Various cloud infrastructures lack a cross-cloud application platform. Cloud providers have invested heavily in cloud infrastructure but some have left the application layer unattended.  Vendors like VMWare and Gizmox are among the few that target the application layer.  DZone conducted an exclusive interview with Gizmox marketing manager Roy Goffer about his company's Visual WebGui (VWG) web and cloud platform.  Goffer says that VWG has an architecture that is optimized for the cloud.  Gizmox recently announced support for running the VWG platform on the Windows Azure cloud.

With VWG's support for Azure deployment, developers can take the apps they've built in the Visual Studio IDE and select standard web server (IIS) deployment or Windows Azure deployment. The system will process your chosen deployment and prepare the application. The rest is standard DLL based copy/paste deployment to the Web or the cloud.  Visual WebGui can also allow legacy code to be reused by migrating it to the VWG cloud platform for cross-platform deployment on Cloud platforms such as Microsoft Windows Azure and Amazon EC2.
