]]> Comment on SaaS Platforms by Sinclair Schuller http://futuresense.wordpress.com/2007/04/29/saas-platforms/#comment-2 Sinclair Schuller Mon, 07 May 2007 16:56:12 +0000 http://futuresense.wordpress.com/2007/04/29/saas-platforms/#comment-2 Hi! Nice post. I'm one of the founders of Apprenda, and I wanted to drop a quick comment. Your observations of getting rid of the necessity to deal with various SaaS facets is correct, I do want to highlight that SaaSGrid is very different from OpSource's offering. SaaSGrid is an application container instead of a collection of services. Meaning your concern that "Most of the problems in SaaS world lie in creating an application which is order of magnitudes more scalable than any premised solution" is addressed. When you write an application targeting SaaSGrid, you then deploy it to SaaSGrid, which in essence has created a new breed of application server. OpSource does not provide this sort of functionality, but instead functions as a SaaS tuned managed host. SaaSGrid provides an operational and execution layer that physically contains and supports your deployed application. As for ecosystems, you're absolutely right! As an ecosystem builds up, the value to members grows by leaps and bounds. I discussed this in a post I had on saasblogs.com, so I'm definitely glad others share that perspective. Hi! Nice post.
