enStratus is a cloud infrastructure management platform from enStratus Networks LLC that addresses the governance issues associated with deploying systems in public, private, and hybrid clouds.

• Security controls, including user management, encryption, and key management
• Financial controls, including cloud cost tracking, budgets, chargebacks, and multi-currency support
• Audit controls and reporting
• Monitoring and alerting
• Automation, including auto-scaling, cloud bursting, backup management, and change management
• Unified cross-cloud management

enStratus supports both SaaS and on-premise deployment models and manages multi-cloud infrastructures, including combinations of public and private clouds.
