Cloud’s PaaS PotentialCloud4SOA at Cloudscape V

Cloud’s PaaS Potentialuser interest in platforms

PaaS supports Software Developers in the Cloud-Based development lifecycle

… the role “Software Developer” is very general…

Cloud’s PaaS Potentialinnovative platforms bring diversity

We’re seeing diversity on many levels.

Cloud’s PaaS Potentialwhat’s it looking like today?

… “PaaS” have several roles and focuses.

… the actual PaaS market is, still young, chaotic and highly fragmented…

Cloud’s PaaS Potentialchallenges!

innovative PaaS segment, but also fragmented

• if so diverse, what’s the best PaaS for you?

• How does the developer find and compare PaaS solutions when the landscape is so diverse?

vendor lock-in!

• how does the developer leave a provider with minimal switching costs

• how can we help the developer avoid lock-in after that initial decision?

Portability is 2nd most requested actions to alleviate in Cloud for higher adoption and investment

PaaS Interoperability & PortabilityCloud4SOA at Cloudscape V

PaaS Interoperability & PortabilityPaaS Interoperability as the Ability for different cloud to talk to each other at three different levels (Software, PaaS, IaaS)

PaaS Portability as the capability to operate software on different platforms without the need for changes

Lock-in when there is significant cost to switch cloud vendors

PaaS Interoperability at PaaS Level

C# PaaS Interoperability

at Software Level

PaaS Interoperability at IaaS Level

PaaS Interoperability as the ability of applications and data to be managed and migrated between Cloud PaaS offerings that are using the same technological background but different concepts and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

PaaS Interoperability & Portabilitya potential use case

open, expanding platforms? flexibility, multiple environments, multiple

languages, sometimes from different providers, but still the same platform

standards? it’s beginning! CAMP focuses on platform

management and has industry backing

but for today’s PaaS diversity? but what of solutions that recognize today’s

diversity of platforms?

PaaS Interoperability & Portabilitysolutions?

… support standards, but… can work without them.

… provides 4 core capabilities leveraging on an adapters approach

… already support several of today’s platforms

matchmaking

the problem:

• PaaS segment highlight fragmented

• difficult to compare, not a commodity IaaS

Cloud4SOA’s answer:

• more than a listing, more than a search engine

• can find best optimized platform based on application requirements, such as technology, functionality, capacity, development support and quality of service

• empowers the developer to compare and decide

management

the problem:

• different applications, different technologies, different needs: where to manage it all?

Cloud4SOA’s answer:

• first multi-cloud manager on the platform layer

• allows full governance lifecycle, control over various applications, in various platforms/vendors

• does not replace the PaaS, it accompanies it

monitoring

the problem:

• diversity of metrics

• enforcement of applications policies

Cloud4SOA’s answer:

• unified metrics, unified interface – overlooking all your deployments at once

• empowers developer to compare, contrast, test

• brings a unique application based user-defined applications policies monitoring

migration

the problem:

• vendor lock-in is a chief adoption barrier

• developer dependency to one platform

Cloud4SOA’s answer:

• first true Cloud-Based application portability solution

• opens market segment, builds on top of PaaS value proposition, alleviating its chief drawback
