Cloud Services Marketplace

One of my friends Karthik and I were talking about Cloud Marketplaces and his boss/my friend Raj Buyya (www.buyya.com) has written academic view on Cloud Market place.

I had worldview that was grounded in reality of today's state of the art in cloud technology. In

Today's Cloud Providers are very weak in providing B2b interfaces, there is no single window for:

Uniform API's or Standards for Provisioning for SaaS, PaaS and IaaS

Monitoring and Management frameworks

Delegated Administration portals or mature Reseller Relationships

Model for ISV relationships for Pay-per-use deployment of Applications

Model for Engaging Consulting and SME' resources

Model for Management platforms and Managed Service Providers

Promotion and Adoption models -

Monitization of Assets in Muliple Business Models(Free, Fremium, Ad-Supported, Premium, Concierage)

Training and Certification

Federated Identity Management

Comprehensive Services Catalog
