Make Ned Scale! How Private PaaS Can Scale Management in a World of Limitless Virtualization

Abstract:

Virtualization promises the world: So convenient! So effortless! So affordable! Think of all those limitless resources, all abstracted away. Then think of all the applications and data that will reside on (and eventually extend) those abstracted resources. While VMs offer the convenience of easily-provisioned scalability, they don’t exactly make life easier for Ned in IT, who has to manage all those easy-to-deploy applications. But that’s where private PaaS can help. In this presentation and demo, an ActiveState technical leader will discuss the practical challenges of deploying cloud applications, and how private PaaS can constructively let Ned “scale” to manage his growing cloud of apps and data.
