This is yet another video from OSCON 2011 talking about cloud providers with open source cred. In this post, I am going to present two different PaaS providers taking two different approaches to offering PaaS targeting the enterprises.

In this video, I talk to both VMware and Redhat about their offerings, the advantages of their approach to PaaS and also about the pundit’s perception that PaaS hasn’t taken off as expected.
