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?
IDC SMAT 2011/0045 Cloud Demands and Barriers Report
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
