Public Platform as a Service (PaaS), for a variety of reasons, is not accessible to a majority of enterprise IT use cases. PaaS, however, provides significant value ranging from the automation of typically mundane and long running tasks such as application deployment, to providing a foundational architecture for guest application scalability. The ability to deploy a Private PaaS within your enterprise IT infrastructure, allows for your enterprise developers to access PaaS value without the accessibility problems of public PaaS.
What Will I learn?
The prospect of leveraging cloud architectures like PaaS within the enterprise IT infrastructure provides a “best of both worlds” outcome: significant cloud-based improvements in the enterprise IT experience without the adoption hurdles associated with public PaaS. You’ll learn about many of the significant benefits of Private PaaS and how they’re derived including:
Reduced Costs
Private PaaS allows for greatly improved infrastructure utilization, removes human configuration tasks where appropriate, and provides self-service interfaces.
Increased Agility
Private PaaS simplifies application deployment, management and scaling, while also improving developer productivity through shared services.
Faster Time to Market
Private PaaS provides for a self service utility model that allows you to upload your compiled code and in a button click, “publish” it. Never configure an application or server again. Deploy apps in minutes rather than weeks or months.
Reduced Complexity
Private PaaS simplifies ongoing application management by abstracting applications away from infrastructure and enforcing a common, inheritable architecture.
Streamlined Application Management
Private PaaS enables you to manage all of your applications from a central place and never worry about being outside the bounds of IT governance.
