Consolidation in the Social Software Market Continues: VMware Acquires SocialCast

In the light of Salesforce.com’s swathe of announcements at Dreamforce last week and other recent developments, it’s a good time to take stock of the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) landscape.

VMware CEO: Django, Rails, Open Frameworks, Packaged Apps as Commodity and The New KingMakers.

By James Governor on October 22, 2010

I was in Copenhagen last week for VMworld Europe 2010. Monday was an analyst briefing so I wasn’t particularly surprised when VMware CEO Paul Maritz spoke at length about his strategy to attract developers to VMware as a platform.  After all most analysts are curious about what happens next.
