First Software as a Service – SaaS…
Then Hardware as a Service – HaaS…
Now, Middleware as a Service – MaaS?

GigaSpaces’ CMO Geva Perry will be presenting on middleware virtualization at SYS-CON’s Virtualization Conference & Expo, June 23-24, in New York City.

Geva believes that in order to achieve the full potential of “cloud computing” we need a broader definition of virtualization. He is pushing a complete de-coupling of the logical components of an application (represented by the software stack) and the physical resources.

He will explore these thoughts in his presentation propose a solution, including a live demo.
