Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) promises to trim development and deployment time from months and years to days and weeks, which has given rise to several hosted PaaS offerings. But while the promise of PaaS is intriguing, many enterprises are demanding PaaS capabilities on their own terms. They want a PaaS behind their own firewall to enable a secure cloud — a private PaaS.

Can implementing a private PaaS solve concerns over security and privacy of data? Does private PaaS provide automatic upgrades and elasticity? Can you develop in multiple languages? Is it possible to migrate existing apps to the cloud easily with a private PaaS?

This webcast discusses:

  • The landscape and drivers for private PaaS
  • Issues for enterprises moving development resources to the cloud
  • How a private PaaS differs from a public PaaS
  • How to avoid vendor lock-in
  • What to consider when implementing and deploying a private PaaS
