PaaSage

With cloud computing, within-organisation benefits are realisable at considerable cost. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) public CLOUDs have different interfaces and conditions of use thus for an organisation to ‘scale out’ requires considerable investment using skilled technical staff.The business need is to allow organisations to ‘scale out’ from their private CLOUD to public CLOUDs without a technical chasm between. This cannot easily be achieved.

PaaSage will deliver an open and integrated platform, to support both deployment and design of Cloud applications, together with an accompanying methodology that allows model-based development, configuration, optimisation, and deployment of existing and new applications independently of the existing underlying Cloud infrastructures. Specifically it will deliver a Cloud Application Modelling and ExecutionLanguage (CAMEL), an IDE (Integrated development environment), execution-level mappers and interfaces and a metadata database.
