At the recent Cloud Expo, a number of vendors were touting tools for building private platform as a service (PaaS) offerings. Private PaaS offers many of the same benefits as other forms of private cloud computing: better security and less risk than public clouds, along with better hardware utilization and scalability. In addition, some say private PaaS would be highly portable — allowing enterprises to move to public PaaS if they chose to later on.
Time will tell if private PaaS takes off, or if it’s just more cloud computing hype.
