Not only does Salesforce have a “Two PaaS” problem (along with the minor issue that one of them only runs on Amazon) – but it is still an entirely “Public” Cloud play. Salesforce’s newly formed platform still gives Enterprises no option to pull their applications in-house to a Private Cloud and it still locks them in to yet another proprietary cloud platform.

When the dust settles on the DF announcements, enterprises are that are looking at Private Cloud options are more inclined run with a Private PaaS solution like ActiveState’s Stackato on which they can deploy their applications securely on premise, still make API calls out to Salesforce services thus enabling them to take advantage the great services that Salesforce offers without the limitations.
