Cloud-Service Facilitators Blur Boundaries

摘要

In October 2014, between sessions and keynote talks at the Virtualize Conference, Nikola Bozinovic, founder and CEO of Mainframe2, tapped me on the shoulder. "We have something to announce soon, but I can't talk about it publicly right now," he said. A few weeks later, the announcement came, from the floor of AWS re:Invent 2014, an industry gathering centered around Amazon's cloud services. "Until now, it's been very difficult for makers of rich graphics apps to expand to the cloud. Mainframe makes it easy. We built the first self-service, global, production-ready platform that provides end-to-end support to customers on their journey to SaaS (software-as-a-service). There's nothing like it on the market," said Bozinovic, in a press release.
