CumuLogic Tests Amazon-Style Services For Private Clouds
Summary
CumuLogic intends to leverage its new product, Platform 2.0, to replicate those benefits for the private cloud, providing containers, databases, load-balancing, caching and similar functionalities. Its a very compelling value proposition that helps channel partners move beyond compute and disk toward a higher level of services. "When working with service providers, we charge for initial integration and then do a revenue share to make it very frictionless," Soby explained. The companys strategy began to evolve 18 months ago, culminating in a private PaaS offering for Java that was released last summer. But, as CumuLogics customers were moving toward a shared services delivery model often targeting ITaaS, Soby noticed increased demand for a suite of scalable, on-demand services for their private and hybrid clouds, and he decided to revise his companys road map to meet that need.
