7. Why Cloud Foundry, now?
Open Cloud Platform
Meets Developer’s Needs
There is an increasing appetite
for cloud-based mobile, social
and analytics applications from
line-of-business executives drives the need for a more open
cloud development platform
Focus on app development,
not provisioning VMs,
databases, messaging
servers, etc
