According to the Gartner’s latest statement, 2011 will be the year of Platform as a Service (PaaS). Gartner believes that all leading enterprise software vendors will introduce or strongly expand their PaaS service offerings and cloud-enabled application infrastructure products.
"By the end of 2011, the battle for leadership in PaaS and the key PaaS segments will engulf the software industry," said Yefim Natis, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
To make it plain, PaaS is a common reference to the layer of cloud technology architecture that contains all application infrastructure services, which are also known as "middleware" in other contexts. PaaS is the middle layer of the software stack "in the cloud". It is the technology that intermediates between the underlying system infrastructure (operating systems, networks, virtualization, storage, etc.) and overlaying application software.
Gartner also predicts that by 2015, most enterprises will have part of their run-the-business software functionally executing in the cloud, using PaaS services or technologies directly or indirectly.
