Traditional middleware is not suitable for the Cloud; it’s simply too complex and it doesn’t provide a pay-per-use charge model.
In their general session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Ash Massoudi, CEO & Co-Founder of NextAxiom Technology, and Sandy Zylka, VP Products & Technology and a Co-Founder of NextAxiom, will discuss a new middleware paradigm for developing and integrating applications: metered, virtualized middleware. The virtualized attribute allows you to easily build and run new applications in the cloud reusing existing on-premise application functionality.
The metered attribute has two aspects: it provides a usage-based charge model for the middleware and it provides a built-in, metered charge model, much like electricity, for your new applications.
