Why Private PaaS is Not an Oxymoron

Date: Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Time:
10:00 - 11: AM PST (13:00 - 14:00 EST)
Presented by: ActiveState and Cloud Foundry

When you hear of PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) what typically comes to mind are names like Heroku, EngineYard, DotCloud, and CloudFoundry.com--hosted Public PaaS providers. With the increasing focus on development of SaaS applications and some clear advantages to placing IT infrastructure in the cloud, these PaaS providers have had some trouble gaining significant traction with enterprises despite obvious advantages.

There is an emerging trend where enterprises require PaaS capabilities, but are demanding it on their own terms. They want a PaaS behind their own firewall to enable a secure cloud--a private PaaS.

This webinar is almost full--Reserve your seat now!

US Patriot Act: Making the Case for Enterprise Private Cloud

Date: Thursday, December 1, 2011
Time:
10:00 - 11: AM PST (13:00 - 14:00 EST)

Is the US Patriot Act causing you to hesitate on leveraging the cloud in your enterprise? Do you want to leverage the power of cloud computing but unsure what the security and privacy implications are for sensitive corporate data?

Despite all the hype about every application moving into the cloud, some practical patterns are starting to emerge in the types of data corporations are willing to move to the cloud.  Learn how to create a secure, compliant, private platform and cloud for developing, distributing and managing enterprise applications.

And in case you missed it, our October webinar, Stackato Overview: A Private PaaS on a Micro Cloud, vSphere, or Amazon EC2, is available on-demand.

Whitepaper: Extending Your Cloud Infrastructure with a Private PaaS

If you already use a virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to providing IT as a Service. But as businesses demand faster results in today's competitive market, organizations look to gain more benefits from cloud computing than just virtualized infrastructure.

Stackato extends your private cloud by creating a private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your development teams.
