CloudFoundry Inks Distribution and Deployment Deals

By Ben Kepes

In my mind at least, PaaS is the area of cloud computing that is seriously exciting right now – while what can be achieved with a SaaS app has pretty much been tapped out, and infrastructure becomes more and more commoditized, it is PaaS where people are doing amazing things

Dell Moves Up the Stack

By Ben Kepes

When Michael Dell teased he world yesterday about an impending cloud acquisition, I concurred with many of my peers in thinking it would be a fairly large, low in the stack operator. This assumption stemmed from Dell’s previous Cloud forays which have traditionally been somewhat infrastructural. How wrong were we?
