Is the cloud computing fog getting a little hazy? No stranger to the cloudscape, Typhoon Software is pleased to release its new flagship product Thunderbolt!, a lightning-fast new technology sure to put your datacenter on Cloud Nine.

Our Umbrella system ensures your application’s always running. But that’s just the basics. Datacenter loses connectivity or power entirely?? Nothing could possibly happen now with our sophisticated Biosphere protection system, guaranteed to sync your state to a new datacenter in the ms before going offline.

Every cloud’s got to have a silver lining: the Demistifier administrator portal has the critics calling everyone else’s products “vaporware.” And research experts are even hailing Thunderbolt!, the only scheduler on the market that can differentiate between the Cumulonimbus incus backfill and the tricky Cumulonimbus with mammatus.

It’s a breeze!

Get out of the plumbing business: try Thunderbolt! out today. Watch those support calls go up in smoke, watch your downtime evaporate, and best of all watch your profits hit the stratosphere!!!
