Open PaaS as a Gateway to Cloud: Practical Advice for Choosing a PaaS Solution

As enterprises and developers look to leverage cloud deployment opportunities, many are evaluating Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings that enable developers to get a jump start on creating apps by starting with a pre-built development platform.

However with early PaaS options, technologists have had to make trade-offs between speed-to-market and choice. Now open PaaS promises to let developers choose their own technology stacks while still gaining the benefits of PaaS.

In this webinar we will discuss:

Key criteria for evaluating an open PaaS solution

How open PaaS solutions from vendors like Red Hat, VMWare, Google and Salesforce.com stack up

Tips on whether open PaaS is right for you
