In March 2011, Cloud Cruiser came out of stealth mode and released its eponymous software later that year.

In June 2012, the company raised an additional $6 million in series B funding, led by ONSET Ventures. In 2013, Cloud Cruiser became available for Windows Server 2012 R2 through Microsoft Azure.
