          <p>
            Aeolus is software for running virtual machines both internally on your
            own equipment, and in Clouds from several leading vendors.  All at the
            same time.
          </p>
          <p>
            REDUCE YOUR RISK of being caught out whenever your preferred Cloud
            vendor has issues.
