My application is there - manage provisioning/security/integration. There should not be need to learn PaaS concept at all. There is huge existing repository of applications and their hardware - if it can be utilized and managed - much better. BTW multi-tenancy is something one needs to think about with or without PaaS etc. It was there in ASP (no not microsoft asp) days and anybody who has created hosted platform knows about perils of too much abstraction.. Private PaaS focus should be enabling existing apps to not worry about PaaS. If they do - they will face friction, because returns are too low. That is why it is restricted release to test the waters. One can always work with virtualization vendors to abstract out the metal/os and just run the app. Here too vendors who provide ability to run diverse set of applications/workloads will succeed the farthest.

Private PaaS is mostly managed by the vendors who provided it. It is far more easier to manage and maintain than IaaS. Slightly disagree. Private PaaS is mostly managed by the vendors who

Private PaaS is THE answer to all those organizations who like the bennefits of a Cloud OS, but are scared about privacy and security... The potential for Private PaaS is indeed huge!
