Should I infer that businesses that support an open economy have no presumption on keeping customers data, define themself only on service and not on platform? Is the ideal open economy then a set of businesses at least twice the size of business platforms, where customers can iradicate their data within one business and plug it into another business with an identical platform? This idea seems to parallel the concept of all customers being their own ASPs. You get the same result with people who run applications on their own home Linux boxes. Their data is entirely their own, and the only services they consume are identical ISP services: bandwith and DNS. Is the asymtote a return to cottage industry?

Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
