VMware Cloud Foundry

According to CloudPro VMware has created a new, ultra-simple, open source PaaS called Cloud Foundry.

VMware is squaring up to Salesforce.com and going-it-alone with a new open Platform-as-a-Service designed especially for cloud computing environments. Cloud Foundry is being hailed by VMware as “a new generation” of application platform, delivered as a service from enterprise data centres and public cloud service providers. Essentially, it will give developers streamlined tools to build applications on public and private clouds, whether or not the underlying server runs VMware, in the simplest way possible.
