Grazed from VirtualizationReview. Author: Jeffrey Swartz.

The large brokerage firm Fidelity Investments is running private clouds based on the OpenStack open source environment with an eye toward eventually bursting to public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds.

PayPal now builds products on its internal PaaS

By David

Grazed from GigaOM. Author: Jordan Novet.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) has gotten lots of attention usage from developers looking for easy ways to build and run applications. PayPal sees lots of value in the PaaS model, too. But rather than run on shared infrastructure, it’s chosen to make developers lives easier while deploying PaaS on premise, explained Ryan Granard, PayPal’s vice president of platform engineering, at GigaOM’s Structure conference on Thursday.

Companies big and little have been jumping aboard the concept of on-premise PaaS, to some degree because security, regulatory compliance and cloud vendor lock-in fears remain part of the conversation about running on public infrastructure. How is PayPal going about this? It’s been running Red Hat’s OpenShift on-premise PaaS to build out products such as PayPal Here — the company’s answer to Square — as well as a developer sandbox…
