Two-year-old AppFog, which started out in life as PHP Fog, is proposing to rent out cloud infrastructure that it in turn rents from Amazon, Azure, Rackspace and HP charging only for the total amount of RAM used in deployments.
It doesn’t matter if it’s coming from multiple backend infrastructure vendors it’s a flat price and promises the fast servers available.
It claims it can set people up on multiple cloud and multiple availability zones to avoid the inevitable cloud crash for less than it would cost them to make the arrangements directly with the infrastructure vendors.
