AN ASSESSMENT
Strong PaaS story
Azure began with PaaS
Strong relationships
Microsoft is already
important to your company
Supports hybrid cloud
Lets customers combine on-
premises with public cloud

Viewed as a leader in IaaS
Traditionally less focused on

Now a conglomerate

Focused on public cloud
Wants customers to move from

Later to market

Google appears serious about
cloud platforms (finally)
But they’re playing catch-
up
Focused on public cloud
Wants customers to move from

22. SALESFORCE
AN ASSESSMENT
Sold with CRM
Force.com is often sold as
an adjunct to
Salesforce.comCRM
For enterprise developers
Some apps can be built solely
with point-and-click tools
Developers can also use Apex, a
Salesforce language
Proprietary environment
Salesforce.com created the tools,
language, and database

23. IBM
AN ASSESSMENT
IBM began with various half-
hearted cloud initiatives
None seemed serious
None got much traction
with customers
IBM bought SoftLayer in mid-
2013
SoftLayer was half hoster,
half cloud provider
IBM faces big challenges
Microsoft,Amazon, and Google
have deep pockets
IBM’s overall revenues are
declining

24. VMWARE
AN ASSESSMENT
Initially encouraged hosters
to offer IaaS with vSphere
Hosters didn’t much like this
Uptake was limited
Then offered vCloud Air
themselves
It provided IaaS based on
vSphere
VMware sold it in early 2017
Now offering VMware
Cloud for AWS
Offering vSphere-based software
on AWS hardware
Treats AWS as
a hoster
Partnered with
Google for object
storage, etc.
